I haven’t blogged this week, partly because I’ve been busy and partly because I wanted to see what would happen if I didn’t. Results below.
The World
The world didn’t end; in fact, it carried on. The cheek!
Traffic
Traffic definitely dropped, by about 20%. That’s not too bad considering how silent I was. Did they see tumbleweed? Come […]
With so many people asking for money and worthy fundraising organizations, how do you decide where to send your donations (if anywhere)?
I tend to stick with animals. As a kid I used to do voluntary work at the local RSPCA, which involved a few icky chores like cleaning out litter trays, but I also got […]
Sorry for the silence. I have just started working on a big fulltime project that will take me through the next few months. I shan’t go into details but it’s the busiest I have been this year on a single project, and as a result I definitely have less time for blogging.
Which means it is […]
Just curious - how many of you are:
employed full-time?
employed part-time?
self-employed?
something else?
I am a contractor, so I undertake various projects - web and writing related - for an hourly rate. Sometimes I work from home, sometimes I’m in an office. I used to be employed full-time and, who knows, maybe I will be again in the […]
If you visit the YouTube homepage on September 18, you should see a video there from Tourism New Zealand and made by Weta Workshop, who brought you much of Lord of the Rings and King Kong. (If the video’s gone by the time you read this, you can still watch it here.)
Wow, New Zealand looks […]
There are a lot of ‘best blogger’ lists floating around this week so I felt compelled to write my own. The following are the best bloggers, no contest. Sorry if you didn’t make the list, but then neither did I.
Note: the blogs aren’t linked to because this is more about using your imagination than using […]
If you were a kid growing up in the 1970s or 80s, you probably spent rainy weekends playing board games, like me. Did the games teach us valuable life and money lessons, and did they way we played them reveal our futures in some way? May-haps. Consider:
Monopoly
What: A classic board game where you choose a […]
I have just started watching a TV series called The Tudors, based on the eventful love life of King Henry VIII. It takes a few liberties with historical fact (it’s more the sexed-up Mills & Boon version), and Jonathon Rhys Myers is far too boyish to play such a heavyweight (and heavy) figure. Perhaps he […]
NXE has released a list of The Top 50 most Influential Bloggers. I like these lists because although I recognize most of the faces, there are some new ones to learn from and about. Some, like Digg.com’s Kevin Rose, don’t exactly qualify as ‘bloggers’ though.
Stop the Press: Only six of them are female. Does that […]
There was an interesting debate/mild catfight going on in the comments of a John Chow Dot Com post the other day. John had written about whether doing off-topic posts was a good idea or not. He said he often received complaints when he did a restaurant review or some such, but “I personally get a […]
