I was talking to some friends at lunch time and we inadvertently stumbled across a money making idea we had not previously identified. Selling wine! Firstly I should point out that I know next to nothing about wine, and I’m not a big wine drinker, but what peaked my interest was the idea of buying [...]

Well I missed this whole sh!t storm that blew up between Today Tonight and Chasers War on Everything, which is a shame because the newspaper reports actually made it sound quite interesting. Thankfully some wacky young kids invented YouTube, because I was able to find the Today Tonight story there.

Holy geez. I logged into my WidgetBucks account to check the stats and nearly fell off my chair when I saw the dollar figure next to my earnings! They have just started listing referral fees for October. In the three weeks of October I just nudged past the $400 mark! This is by far the [...]

Here’s something you don’t see every day. I decided I’d go and check out if there were any page rank superstars hiding in the inner pages of swollenpickles.com, using the Live PR Tool. I wasn’t expecting to see to much, maybe one or two pleasant surprises perhaps, but I certainly wasn’t expecting to see all [...]

Yesterday I decided to go off and see ’30 days of night’ at the cinema. It’s the latest graphic novel to film adaptation to hit the big screen.

I haven’t done anything like this before, but I thought I’d dig around in my site statistics a bit and find out the top 5 blogs that referred SwollenPickles.com the most traffic in October.

When I ordered Watchmen off Amazon, I have to say, I was prepared to be disappointed. There is a lot of hype surrounding this book, and a quick search will turn up countless positive reviews. Watchmen was originally published as a monthly 12 issue comic book limited series from 1986-1987, and later collected as a [...]

Given that I’ve just discovered a new plugin, I think it’s time I revisited one of my earliest posts. Battle of the Battlestar Galactica Cyclons dared to take on the big issues. Here’s the summary version: Of the two hot Cylons from Battlestar Galactica, who is hotter, Cylon Sharon (Grace Park), or Cylon No.6 (Tricia [...]

This weekend I sat down and watched a stack of old Chappelle Show episodes. Damn that show is awesome. I really miss it… *sniff*… “What did the the five fingers say to the face?… SLAP!” Now I’m going to attempt to bring joy to the people this Monday by sharing some of my favourite Chappelle [...]

You really have to wonder what’s going on at the Googleplex these days. It’s now been over two months since Swollen Pickles evaporated from the SERPs. Where as once a search for Swollen Pickles would have turned up a number of pages on this blog, you now get a variety of pages that link to [...]
