The Sacred Wingman Handbook (part 2)

Friday, August 10th, 2007

The second part of the Sacred Wingman Handbook series. Please refer to section one of the handbook to bring yourself up to speed with the terminology. SNAPSHOT OF A FLIGHT MISSION Part. 1 : Target Sighted! FL: “I’m getting hella pinged by the redhead in the corner. I spy a solitary bogie. It’s gonna be [...]

August Agloco Update

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

It’s been 2 months now since the Agloco Viewbar went live. I believe I’ve only had four referrals in that time, so things have gone quiet in that respect. Slowly building up ‘surfed’ hours. One criticism that I have with the whole thing is the lack of communication from the company. I think I’ve received [...]

Big Co-operations Suck!

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

I’m not sure whether many people have picked up on this story or not, but Hyundai have come out in the last couple of days to say that they will be removing some safety features from the Santa Fe models. Where stability control and side airbags were once standard across their Santa Fe range, now [...]

The Sacred Wingman Handbook (part 1)

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

Occassionally I get a “Fw:” email worth reading, this was one of them. It’s funny, in a low brow, “Porky’s” sort of way. Warning: It’s long and contains adult themes. I will split it into several sections. Also, please note, I did not write this, and can’t take credit for it. I have no idea [...]

Wolverine trade paper backs

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

Consider this post a community service for any would-be comic book nerds out there. I’ve be trying to get my hands on the current collection of Wolverine trade paper backs. Problem is, there is a consistent naming convention for them, so it’s a little difficult to figure out which ones cover off which issues, and [...]

How to set up your own online store

Monday, August 6th, 2007

Lately I’ve been strongly considering starting up my own online store. My initial thoughts have been to start up an online store selling music gears (eg. intruments, loops and samples), because, firstly, I have a strong interest in music, and secondly, the margin seems to be quite reasonable. Recently a friend also asked me if [...]

Lindsay Lohan with massive camel toe

Monday, August 6th, 2007

Looking at my Google analytics statistics, it seems that anything involving celebrities in compromising positions is big business, organic traffic wise. Half the people that visit swollenpickles.com, do so to look at a couple of the black label Paris Hilton pictures I posted some time ago. So in the interests of giving the public what [...]

Fur ball drama kid

Sunday, August 5th, 2007

Hand this fur ball an Oscar! This little guy performs like a young Chewbacca. WPvideo 1.10 00:06 Actually, junior Chewbacca looks kind of wired, maybe he’s been reading about smoking crack?

The Cable and Deadpool story so far…

Saturday, August 4th, 2007

The Cable/Deadpool series was responsible for getting me addicted to “graphic novels”… ok, comics. The books are a mix of great plot lines, humor and awesome artwork. Cable is the ‘serious’ character, soldier from the future, blood ties to the X-Men, trying to save the world. Deadpool is the comic relief, paid gun for hire, [...]

The Hyundai ‘baby’ ad is back!

Friday, August 3rd, 2007

For anyone that cares, the Hyundai ‘baby’ ad that caused such a poo storm earlier this year in Australia, is set to return. This time it will be edited down, to remove any scenes depicting the toddler driving the car. What do I think? I think the bloody ad should be banned! Sent to the [...]

July 2007 Goal Update

Thursday, August 2nd, 2007

It’s time for my goal project update. In July, things slowly started to turn back around. In general all figures were up in July which was a good sign, particularly after the disappointment of June. 1. Develop Swollen Pickles into a website that can generate $200 per month. The total for the month was $80.28USD, [...]
