This morning I have blown the dust off my blog and checked its pulse (faint) because I missed it, and I missed you guys. Is everyone well? Great.
I’ve been busy working, but I also took a trip to Tahiti earlier this month and last weekend I had my first flying lesson, which was very exciting. […]
Over the past week or so I have spent many hours watching super-human feats of strength in the Olympic Games. World records have been broken as contestants somersaulted off diving boards, ploughed through the pool, quadruple-flipped their way across a gym mat and cycled until their muscled legs could cycle no more. We’ve seen laughter, […]
1. Your AdSense ads are displaying random content (eg. Rich Minx is currently showing ‘roofing’ ads - why, Google, why? How will I make my 4c weekly target at this rate?)
2. An email from a reader has just arrived, thanking you for that scintillating post last week about omnivorous cyclops robots fighting for supremacy in […]
Gonzo journalist Hunter S Thompson would have made a great addition to the Blogosphere.
Imagine the potential posts as he made his drug-addled way through the desert to Vegas in search of the American Dream, and along the presidential campaign trail a few years later in search of an honest politician.
True, the internet hadn’t been invented […]
“Oh, the irony” is a phrase I use way too often, but it fits well when considering I last wrote a post called ‘Whatever happened to…?’ and then proceeded to go MIA myself. Cue tumbleweed.
They sent out a search party and I was found wandering in the mountains, having gotten lost somewhere between the living […]
So I was bored today and started browsing MyBlogLog. MyBlogLog, once you join, automagically adds blogs to your Community list when you’ve visited them, assuming that just because you glance at a blog once you must love it and want to be associated with it forever. Which is a bit silly - isn’t that what […]
Excuse the prolonged absence; I wasn’t really away, but I was due to update my Wordpress which wasn’t letting me post until I did so. Now I have done so.
In the meantime, I occupied myself by reading other blogs and finally checking up on what was being said about me on measurement-of-blogging-worth-tool Technorati. Not much, […]
Any semi-regular blogger knows the kind of mail that trickles into their inbox via their blog’s handy Contact Us form.
I keep the form alive because occasionally I get some real feedback, even fan mail, as well as the odd work offer or request to advertise. But to be honest, about 70% is dross. Some is […]
Darren at ProBlogger has kindly shared a personal response of his to Google AdSense, who coldly broke up with him this month. Well, what happened is they decided that their signup referrals system was only going to be available to people in certain countries from now on (ie not Australia, where Darren lives, or New […]
Darren at ProBlogger has been considering ways to stay in shape while blogging. While I personally consider any kind of movement within the home highly dangerous, I can see the merit of staying fit, especially if you tend to remain indoors. You’ll want to look good in any blogging videos you post, as well as […]
