The power of swicki’s

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

I’ve had an Xbox related swicki for quite a while now. I can’t remember why I really started with it. Probably for the same reasons I start most things, because I can, and because I want to see how things work. Before you ask, no, I’m not Sylar from Heroes.
What is a swicki? Well its [...]

Accepting the evils of insurance

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

I’ve finally come to the realization that insurance is a necessary evil. It’s one of those things that you will continually fork out money for, but hope you will never have to use. I used to think that car insurance was a sham.

Review Swollen Pickles for free link love

Tuesday, March 20th, 2007

Have you heard the saying “nothing original is created in a vacuum”? Well I’ve decided to throw caution to the wind and rip off the “Review My Blog for a free link back promotion” John Chow is running on his blog. I’m interested to see if it can work for plebes. The Swollen Pickles promotion [...]

Banned in China

Monday, March 19th, 2007

Swollen Pickles has been banned in China! This is the biggest news in Swollen Pickles history. It’s even bigger than that one time I was banned from Digg!

I visited greatfirewallofchina.org, a site that claims to test, in real time, whether or not a URL is ‘viewable’ (or censored) in China. According to that site, Swollen [...]

Things I have noticed about AGLOCO

Monday, March 19th, 2007

If you check in here regularly, you may recall a post where I wrote about AGLOCO delivering money for nothing. In the three weeks that have passed since then, my AGLOCO network has built up slowly, and I’m happy to report I have hit double figures. I’m a long way off the 8,000 people John [...]

White chicks and gang signs

Saturday, March 17th, 2007

I saw this video on long time friend of Swollen Pickles, Wormbrain’s site. Ever since I saw it I’ve been humming the tune. It’s as catchy as a highly contagious fungal growth thing!

“Survivalism” available for download

Friday, March 16th, 2007

Checking out my MySpace page this morning I found out that Trent Reznor has released a track from Year Zero, “Survivalism”, in Garage
Band format from the official Year Zero page. This means you can create your own NIN remix. Reznor did the same thing with a couple of tracks from With Teeth, which proved [...]

NSFW a goldmine for Reddit traffic

Thursday, March 15th, 2007

Now I can’t confirm whether or not this is true or not, but I’ve heard that if you include NSFW (or Not Safe For Work) in the title of your post and submit it to Reddit, your guaranteed an influx of Reddit traffic. It doesn’t matter whether or not your content is or isn’t NSFW, [...]
