You're An Attention Whore And You Know It

Svetlana Gladkova from Profy posted about “Blog Day” and some of the dirty little secrets bloggers hide/neglect/refuse to share with members of the non-blogging world. One point that stuck with me was Svetlana’s reasoning behind why people blog: Bloggers will usually claim that they blog for all kinds of reasons, including willingness to share their [...]

Exploit Your Child (Robot)

From Gizmodo comes this video documenting the systematic abuse of child like robots in the Philippines as they are forced to haul little kiddies around the mall in plastic rickshaws. The future of robot benevolence towards human kind may be in the balance when they become our overlords but I can’t help but find watching [...]

Old Skool Pirating

I’ve seen a number of posts today about the poor RIAA / MPAA and how they’re not making any money, losing billions to illegal pirates and bit torrent, yet when the movie industry alone is on course to have yet another record summer season, I must confess to having no sympathy for them.

Wolfenstein Official Launch Trailer

I’ve been a Wolfenstein fan since the very beginning, way back in 1992, in fact I’m sure I still have the original knocking around here somewhere. With that in mind, it goes without saying that I am very much looking forward to getting my hands on the new Wolfenstein when it’s released, which should be [...]

The Ages Of Social Media

It’s a true sign of the changing face of social media when my 13 year old sister messages me on Facebook to get me to tell my Grandmother to accept her friend request (because my little sis is impatient that way, as most kids are with a new toy). Social media is no longer the [...]

Crawled To Death – Why You NEED To Use Google Webmaster Tools

I thought it was bad enough when Tim Burton and a poorly configured WP-Super Cache teamed up to kill our sites last month, but I never thought that Google would be responsible for killing 2 of my sites in 1 day. Yesterday two of our sites simultaneously started throwing 500 errors every time we tried [...]
