Real People With Superpowers

As stupid as it sounds, you decide. OK so I'm pretty freaked out by the human dolphin.

Ignore Me I'm Testing Apps

and it IS NOT WORKING, asshats

Installing Disqus - Reasonably Pleasurable

OK so wasn't as nice as Intense Debate but hey, forget them the melon farmers.

Now I'm off for a sneaky peek.

Zemanta is pretty annoying, although I could really use a decent auto tagging tool for my blog. One that was no matter the number of characters.

Intense Debate - Installation

Wow what a joy, that was all of 1 minute to install. Impressive.

SezWho? Who Sez? Not me!

OK so I thought I'd have a go and check it out. It drove me insane, wouldn't let me upload my sexy face as my profile picture. Now I don't mind something not working/errroring, but if it just doesn't work and pretends that it has....now that drives me insane. Almost as much as Firefox 3 suddenly deciding I can't click on a random link. "Yeah can't click on THAT link mate!". Bastardo.

It did look quite good to be fair...the jury is still out.

Tunguska at 100

Nice article on the explosion at Tunguska. What I like about this story is that the puzzle has in no way been solved 100 years on.

BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Fire in the sky: Tunguska at 100

Personally I liked the idea of a Alien Space Craft exploding.

Testing Apture - A Tool For Bloggers

After doing a little bit of reading about Apture it seems like it's something I should give a go. One of the things I don't like about blogger is how much effort I have to put in to make a post interesting. Zemanta tries to help with it's useful autotagging feature but it's far from perfect.

UPDATE: It crashed first time up, need to achieve other things so have to check it properly later. WOW it's pretty nasty. But seems a lot nicer than Zemanta.

VERDICT: Hideous, slow, pop up windows and confusing UI.

Blogger Gets A Update PART DEUX

A graphical despiction of a very simple html documentImage via WikipediaI found it but it looks the same to me. Again I actually had to initiate my brain to get it going. Now that I've had a play and make the blog look nice I have to say it was pretty easy. I did however need some HTML knowledge to make the template look how I want but all in all pretty easy to use.

Blogger Gets A Update

So it seems only fair that I get involved and give my opinions. Firsty it wasn't as easy as it should have been to setup. I actually had to read something, fail. Button to add it to my blog was what I wanted.

OK this is old post windows where's the new one?

James Dyson Is A Nutter

I love the designs, I love the guy, check him out here beating the crap out of one of his vacuums.

I love the idea of a head honcho that actually gives a shit, this man has built a very strong brand in no time by maintaining his strong ethics. Sadly I'm tight so I've got a henry.

$500 Cat 5 Cable - Yes $500 + Zemanta

A tag cloud with terms related to Web 2.Image via WikipediaAmazon users review it here.
Seems that the reviewers are venting their fury at how a company can charge $500 for a cat 5.

I've just added Zemanta to my blog and it seems like an interesting little tool. Attached as a firefox extension it add extra functionality to your blogging engine. Hasn't chosen a relevant picture for me but hey this is the first post that I've done with it installed.

Interestingly it updates every 300 characters. Now I see that as a challenge. The auto tag feature seems like a great idea. For example up to here its collated the following tags, blogging, firefox extension, engine, Amazon, Zemanta and review. Not Bad. I just clicked on an image and it added it directly, again I'm pretty impressed.

Sounds like a good idea to me, seriously though, this social investing site for people who invest in stocks and shares seems like a good idea.

Skype 4 Beta

Been trying out Skype 4 Beta (windows only). And it looks nice but seems to have hit the roids recently. It's massive. At it's smallest (not including detaching a conversation [ctrl+w] window) it's 800px by 560px.

Anyway I'm giving my feedback here and Raul seems to care.........which is nice.

If i didn't post it like this then you won't do a double take like I did.

So I'm afraid its the old school click here link.

New Mice Designs

nice ideas but the execution seems to be a little off. For example in the glove one the guy turns left and if he needs to turn left again he'll have turned away from the screen.

Sounds like a nice idea, not had time to have a good look but my betting it's more limited than it could or should be. You put stuff online that the Generations Y/Z kids can get stoned and play with and I'm sure some remarkable results will ensue .

Americans And The Beautiful Game

So don't know why Andy Gray is moonlighting on ESPN but here he is showing us how Americans use technology to football improve coverage.

Looks like he may have had a say as he's one of the few people who can use technology to help emphasise his point.

If you hadn't already guessed Andy Gray is one of my hero's and with the coverage of the Euro's on ITV and BBC i miss him. Tick A Bo Son, Tick A Bo Son.

OK so the second one is well hilarious. Its the front part, have they heard of aerodynamics before?
