Does the MINI Cooper float your boat?

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

Well you can file this one under the “here’s something you don’t see everyday” category. A shameless publicity stunt from MINI showcasing the fact that the MINI Cooper hardtop could in fact float you’re boat, given the right opportunity and sea conditions.

StumbleUpon Exchange Proliferation

Monday, August 13th, 2007

If you’re chasing some quick and easy web traffic, StumbleUpon can be a goldmine. Any geek worth his/her pocket protector could tell you that.  It was only a matter of time until the stumble phenomenon spawned a mini cottage industry. Quite a few “stumble exchange” sites seem to have sprung up of late, allowing users [...]
