The next time you feel the need to write a honku, the following article may be enough to cool your engines. In Nigeria they have a problem with drivers going the wrong way. It’s not just once in a while either – it’s a common occurrence! And while you may declare in a fit of […]

The web site designs of web gurus and bloggers were pitted against each other in the battle of the century. The result? Bloggers by a landslide. I wonder why that is.

Kevin Fury has created a web site called random pixel where he releases a camera out into the wild with instructions to take a few pictures and pass it on to a stranger. When the film has been used, the camera is returned to him, and he posts the photos on the site.

While working on a brain teasers in a community on Orkut a few people were nearing the answer, and others were still working on it. Instead of posting the correct answer in plain text and ruining it for those who were still figuring it out, it was posted in rot13 format. It reminded me of […]

A little less than a year ago I posted a story about a sinister blimp that was hilarious. It was posted again on Metafilter today, so I read the story again and it was still quite funny. I wanted to see what else was at the site so I removed the page from the URL […]

MT-Blacklist 1.6.3 (tar/gzip, zip) was just released. Since I was changing things anyway, I got the latest blacklist too, so now everything is up-to-date.

Aaron Naparstek had heard one too many honks when a driver in front his apartment let out a long, loud honk. Aaron decided that if the honk was still blaring by the time he got to the refrigerator, retrieved a carton of eggs, and opened the window, then he deserved to be egged. That, he […]

I wonder if Michael Jackson regrets all of his plastic surgery. That makes me wonder what he would have looked like at age 45 without it. Based on age progression, this is what he may have looked like, compared to what he looks like now. Which one would you vote for?

The first time I heard about FOX’s new TV show The Swan it left a bad taste in my mouth, but I couldn’t figure out just what it was that I didn’t like. The idea of altering someone so much that their own mother wouldn’t recognize them and not even asking the individual what they […]

I’m doing some spring cleaning and finding a few ancient posts. This one was written on August 31, 2002, but just yesterday I was reading USA Today and found an article about how employees have been abused during the recession and, “when a job-producing recovery really kicks in, as appears to be happening, companies will […]

I’m in a Chicago hotel room right now and just paid $9.95 to get internet access so I could check e-mail. I wasn’t going to make a blog entry because it’s late and I want to get up early tomorrow in order to do all the fun stuff in Chicago (like going to a Bulls […]

After reading Cecil Adams’ discussion of cage free chickens I realized that you don’t see chickens in the wild (at least I don’t). Then I realized that you don’t see many wild dogs or cats either (at least not the typical dog and cat). Other pets have their wild counterparts, like horses, fish and birds, […]

This article on how to increase your blog’s readership doesn’t say anything I haven’t heard before, but repetition can be helpful. It would also help if I were to to try some of those things instead of just reading about them. He has also written several other articles about improving your blog which may provide […]
