  • Cool Twitter Error Page

    “Something is technically wrong.” Got this page when I clicked on a ‘We’re on Twitter’ link from a web page. I’d never seen it before and thought it was really cool. I love all of the characters that new web services are coming out with. Case in point is Brizzly’s mascot, as well as the…

  • WANTED! A Home For Little Jimmy. Great Advertising Ploy!

    I saw this posted and it was so funny that I had to laugh. This is great advertising and is sure to catch the eye. I thought it was a missing child report when I first saw it. I left the number visible because the person who posted this deserves the added exposure for being…

  • Seriously Funny Singaporean Comedy From YouTube

    This is some seriously funny stuff. I wasn’t sure about it at first, and you really have to pay attention to understand what’s being said, but you’ll be laughing by the end.

  • Dapper’s Little Twin

    Yesterday when I was heading to Tampines I noticed this cat hanging out on the sidewalk.  I was shocked, because I thought it was my cat and that she had somehow escaped and gotten ahead of me.  It didn’t make sense, because she’s usually a scaredy cat, but… well, see the photos for yourself. The…

  • Social Networks and Boundaries

    Most people today have multiple social networking profiles.  Myspace, Facebook, Friendster, Twitter, Plurk, blogs, etc.  That makes for a pretty open flow of information, but shouldn’t there be boundaries? What I mean is, do you open your accounts to anyone that wants to view your content?  For services like Twitter, Plurk and blogs (generally) the…
