Well, my official BlogRush experiment has ended, and guess what? It’s still a giant stuffed turkey! This morning I reviewed my stats for October and found that it had sent me a mammoth 4 visitors. I decided enough was enough, and tossed the widget into the widget recycling bin.

Gee, that was a real clever headline! Don’t act like you’re not impressed… anyway… on to the post…
I was just doing a little research on Mpire, the company behind WidgetBucks and found this interesting snippet of information. The Mpire website made it into the TIME top 50 websites. You can check out the TIME write [...]

Just read that there will be an Xbox 360 arcade edition released prior Christmas. Herald-Sun listed it as $399, with the key difference to the standard Xbox 360 being that this version doesn’t come with the hard drive.
Should I go for the bargain basement version, or save a little more for the real deal?
Anyway, I’m [...]

This one was highlighted in the Friday Funnies that get posted on the Age website. Classic interview, fantastic interview technique, and I have to say, the way this guy responds to the questions is exemplarary! He definitely needs to start his own media training course.

So I got in a fight this morning… want to know how it started?
I rear-ended a car this morning on the way to work.
I knew right then and there that it was going to be a REALLY bad day.

I hope no one here got too engrossed in the new Hugh Jackman, musical drama series, Viva Laughlin. Just saw channel nine advertising ‘Two Weeks Notice’ as this coming Monday’s movie for the 8.30pm timeslot. That wasn’t a great sign, seeing the show bumped after it’s first episode. So I did a quick search, and [...]

I’ve decided to go back to my humble beginnings, dredge through the historical Swollen Pickles archives, and take a look at how it all began. I thought I’d take a look at the first five posts published on SwollenPickles.com. A trip down memory lane if you like. Looking back at the first five, I have [...]

Firstly, I need to thank Meg from Dipping into the Blogpond for sticking with her top 100 Australian blogs index. Any time I need an ego boost, I head over to her list to see where Swollen Pickles sits in the list. Currently this blog is sitting at number 20, which I’m more than happy [...]
