It’s Thursday, it’s hot, I’m tired, yet I’ve still managed to find a handful of things to amuse me on a Thursday evening. It’s funny where surfing the internet can lead you. Consider this a geeked out version of six degrees of separation.

I stumbled upon these gems this afternoon while browsing through some design/advertising websites. These images illustrate that typography can be used for more than just the written word.

I received this email forward today, gave me a bit of a giggle. If you aren’t familiar with the classic Abbott and Costello “Who’s on first?” routine then it probably loses a lot of its giggle factor. So… if Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, ‘Who’s on First?’ might have [...]

It’s been quite a while since I last delved into my website analytics. Until about six month ago, I’d pour over the statistics obsessively, hoping to identify trends or the secret to building long term sustainable web traffic. I’m not sure why I stopped digging to be honest.

Zombie movies. Is there, or will there ever be, a greater genre? Any answer other than no is incorrect. On the weekend, I watched a zombie movie that has forced me to re-assess my top 5 zombie movies of all time. Hence this list. This list may be contentious, heck it caused me some inner [...]

I was up Monday night watching ABC2 and Dr Who was on. When I was a young’un I used to watch Dr Who when it was on ABC regular, in the days when it starred Tom Baker, the guy who does the voice over for Little Britain. Anyway, the production values on Dr Who have [...]

A bad affiliate program is one that does everything in its power to make you feel like you’ve just paid a visit to an alcoholic, sausage fingered, proctologist. In the good old days Commission Junction were quite good to me. I was doing reasonably well with them, largely on the back of their relationship with [...]

For those of us unable to make it to Germany for Oktoberfest I may have stumbled across the next best thing… Brewfest. One minor problem though, it’s in Azeroth, so you’re going to need a World of Warcraft account. Once you’ve got that sorted, head to the beer garden outside the dwarven capital city Iron [...]

The one thing I really love about looking after a website is checking out the visitors statistics. Since the dawn of the pickle, people have found many weird and unusual ways to make their way here, and to date, 2009 has proven to be no exception. Here are ten of the more bizarre search terms [...]
