Well, after almost four months, it looks like SwollenPickles.com could finally be out of the Google dog house. You can read up on the beginning of the saga here. In summary, up until earlier this week, you had to filter through around five pages of search results for “swollen pickles” before you’d find a link [...]

A couple of days ago I posted about Sproose, a search engine that effectively allows users to vote on the search results. I think Sproose has a lot of merit as a concept, but today I’ve found a similar site that seems to have taken off a bit quicker than Sproose. It’s called SpicyPage. Here’s [...]

Good news, I can finally tick off one goal from my goals project list. That’s right, a week ago I picked up an Xbox360! I can’t believe I waited so long, that machine is freakin awesome. Hooked into surround sound I was blown away by the details. After a few games I was also glad [...]

I found this one whilst browsing the forums. If you’re getting a bit tired of Google, you might be looking to give another search engine a shot.

Designing a good logo is a tough task. It’s no where near as simple as it sounds. It’s fair to say I’ve had a bit of a fixation with graphic design recently, and I’ve posted about logos before (anyone remember the Phallic Logo Awards?). This latest crop of logos don’t quite fit into the phallic [...]

Immortal Iron Fist Vol.1: The Last Iron Fist Story is one of the coolest graphic novels I’ve read. It’s one of those books that, similar to Sin City, is so cinematic in it’s story and layout, that it’s just begging to be turned into a feature length film. The Immortal Iron Fist story follows the [...]

Fortunately, someone has done the hard work for us, and put together these little voting cards to assist with your voting decision. So here we go… For Gen Y Voters:

Here’s a cool and/or interesting idea. Heat sensitive wallpaper. No idea if it’s real or not, although I’m guessing the concept would be possible, HyperColor T-Shirts anyone? The potential applications for this sort of thing are limitless… well maybe not limitless, but definitely interesting.

I’ve often wondered how they do product testing for somethings. Like that lipstick that stays on no matter what, and then there is lip gloss… Here’s a interesting video demonstrating how lip gloss might be tested. Normally testing on animals is a no no. But in this case, I think I’m willing to look the [...]

Secret War is a Marvel mini-series that, as the blurb says, “reveals the darkest chapter in Marvel Universe history!”. The Secret War trade paperback combines entire Secret War run (Secret War #1-5), plus From the Files of Nick Fury. In terms of the plot, the story centres around Nick Fury gathering together a group of [...]
