This has been floating around for a while but I never bothered posting about it until I also saw one of the ‘audition’ videos (you’ll see!).

File this story under ‘what the deuce?’ This is perhaps the weirdest story I’ve read in a little while. The headline really tells the story, “Stab victim ‘continued masturbating”, but perhaps is best accompanied by a quote from the prosecutor: “Despite his injury, it seems (Mr Blair) continued to masturbate while in the garage,” the [...]

I’ve set myself a not so simple task. To create the perfect wordpress theme to use on swollenpickles. First step will be sitting down with a pen and paper to sketch the rough layout. Ideally I’d like to include ‘latest stories’ from my other sites in the footer (or somewhere else), although I haven’t fully [...]

It has come to my attention that Swollen Pickles has become less ‘pimped’ and more ‘whore’d’ of late. This administration agrees.

He busted up bad guys then at the end taught you a little life lesson. I’m proud to say that He-Man made me [...]

Well I’ve been on the list for three weeks now and I’m slowly but surely climbing the ladder in the Top 100 Australian Blogs. As of the last update I’m number 76 on the list. With any luck Swollen Pickles will keep moving up the list.

Just over a week ago I posted about the Viralink project, with the intention of seeing whether or not it would actually work. Well, I’m not sure exactly what effect it has had on my traffic, but I have noticed a fairly significant increase in my Technorati authority rating. Just prior to the original post [...]

I’m typing this post on a 5 year old Dell laptop. That’s important to know. Why? Because just under 6 months ago I bought a Hewlett-Packard (HP) notebook, the DV9008TX, the super notebook designed to be the hub of your home’s modern media center. Sounds nice on paper. Actually, in reality it was quite nice, [...]
