YouTubes “related links” do not always end well

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007

Ummm… I don’t really know what to say about this. There are times when YouTube frightens me, and I have to say, this is one of them. Consider it a companion piece to the Linkin Park parody. Why? Because for some reason it was one of the “related links” on the Linkin Park parody page. [...]

Linkin Poke Minutes to Moonight

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007

If you love Linkin Park, you may take offense to this… otherwise you might find it piss funny. I love the drum kit! So this is a parody film clip. Think Weird Al, and you’re getting close. This is actually quite authentic in that it sounds like the track my have been an out take [...]

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

Being a Super Hero doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re a sure fire deal with the ladies… nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more… check out the educational public service announcement below for further information.

Sarah Silverman versus Paris Hilton

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

Apparently this clip has “disappeared” from YouTube. Conspiracy theories abound. Anyway, here’s the clip from the MTV awards where Sarah Silverman slags Paris Hilton off just prior to her first stay behind bars. It’s cold… so very cold…

Free trials should be simple

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

In the market for some collaboration software? Epazz.com are offering a free 30 day trial of their new collaboration software, only hitch being you have to contact them to set it up. That doesn’t exactly make it easy now does it?
Personally I’m not a fan of that sort of business model, if you want people [...]

The secrets behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows revealed

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

The cash cow that is Harry Potter rolls on. I went to a shopping center today and there were Potter freaks everywhere. I have to say, that grown men and women dressing as wizards, witches and whatever, kinda freaks me out. What they do in their bedroom is their own business, but if you bump [...]

Hocking home loans

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

If there is one thing that frightens me when it comes to companies hocking loans, it’s when they roll out the “Application with a bad credit history, mortgage arrears, missed payments or CCjs are welcome”.
This tells me that the company is more than likely going to be charging an exorbitantly high interest rate in order [...]

Marvel Civil War: Front Line reviewed

Saturday, July 21st, 2007

The Marvel Civil War: Front Line series is an 11 issue mini-series that ties in to the Marvel Civil War event. What makes this series unique is that it’s focus is not so much on the lycra clad superheroes, but more on two of the journalists dedicated to covering the story. For much of the [...]

Easy way to highlight ‘nofollow’ links

Friday, July 20th, 2007

Recently I started putting together a list of all the forums that allow signature links without having the “nofollow” attribute added. At first this was a freakin’ pain staking task, as I’d visit a forum, then open a post, and select ‘page source’ to see if signature links included the “nofollow” attribute or not. It [...]

Nine Inch Nails Hard Copy report

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

I was browsing YouTube watching Nine Inch Nails clips when I stumbled across this report that was screened on Hard Copy, sometime in the early 1990’s. The report follows the police investigation into a mysterious unsolved murder, that turned out to not be a murder at all. One of the more bizarre reports that I’ve [...]

Marvel Civil War (#1-7)

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

The Marvel Civil War story-line is the first major comic ‘event’ I’ve read. Whilst the ideas behind the Civil War story are fairly simple, the complexity comes in all the various ‘tie-in’ books and sub-stories that surround it.
Whilst filming a reality TV show, a group of super heroes attempt to apprehend a group of super [...]
