Taking Back Sunday – Louder Now (album review)

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

Even though it was released in 2006, “Louder Now”, the third album from Taking Back Sunday, has become one of those albums I just can’t take out of my cd player.
The tone of the album is heavy rock “happy hardcore”, with liberal lashings of pop thrown in for good measure. I’m sure that Taking Back [...]

My premier post level text link spot back on the market

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

My number one selling post level “text link” is once again available via Text-Link-Ads. It’s an old post entitled “Who stole Michaels goat?”. I think it’s the only post that any of the “cool kids” have picked up on. The page itself has a solid “Text-Link-Ads” popularity of 4, and has a few solid back [...]

AuctionAds showcase an all new ad style

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

AuctionAds have a brand new look. If you log into your AuctionAds account this morning you’ll notice that, not only has the site taken on a Web2.0 vibe, but there are now a whole new range of ads available to select from.
Here’s a preview of what the new ad format looks like (in vertical).

On the [...]

Kevin Smith delivers the verbal smackdown

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

Heckling has never really struck me as a great idea. As a heckler, you’re hardly in a position of power. Sure you may have 5-10 maybe even 20 seconds to say your piece. But that’s it, then it’s the dude who is up on stages turn to return fire.
What we have here is a video [...]

Go visit the WTF Mac Store

Monday, August 27th, 2007

I saw this picture on the “Geek With Laptop” site.
I know what it’s supposed to say, but all I can see is one big “WTF!!!!”.
This is a good little example of what can happen when sign writing goes just that little bit wrong.

I’m sure it looked right on paper…

Old school advertising full of innuendo

Monday, August 27th, 2007

If you’re old enough, you may remember a time when advertising was innocent and pure. There were no racy ads filled with smutty innuendo, just good wholesome commercialism… or were there??
Taking a look at a couple of these weird nuggets below, I had to ask myself, “would these sneak past the censors today?”

DonkeyMails off to the glue factory

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

If you’ve been here more than once, you might remember that last month I posted about DonkeyMails, a site that promotes itself as one that will “pay you to receive emails”. It sounds fantastic in theory, but will it make you any money?
Short answer is yes, it will make you money, just very very very [...]

Big pimpin’ Swollen Pickles style

Friday, August 24th, 2007

Just made an interesting discovery over on Text-Link-Ads, a text link on Swollen Pickles currently costs $15. Can’t figure out how much a post level link costs, but I’m sure it’s substantially less. Moral of the story – I’m CHEAP!

Marvel Civil War: War Crimes review

Friday, August 24th, 2007

I finished reading Civil War: War Crimes trade paper back (TPB) last night. The TPB collects Underworld #1-5 as well as the Civil War: War Crimes one-shot. The story featured throughout focuses on the activities of criminal underworld as the Civil War rages throughout the Marvel Universe. If you aren’t up to speed on the [...]
