A few days back I was browsing the internet in the library of my school, when I noticed some boys all crowded around one computer, where a considerable fuss was being kicked up. I thought, "hmm, maybe they've come up with an interesting code for Linux, or perhaps they're discussing chess strategies." Then I noticed a Burberry cap and decided to ( Read more... )

This has been troubling me a lot recently - why do people continue to stick up for Michael Jackson? This has hit pretty much every messageboard I'm involved with, from Cavola to Biffy Clyro, this one seems to start arguments quicker than the subject of politics does. I'm not going to turn this into a current affairs blog, but if it affects web ( Read more... )

I was on my daily hunt for crap and I got a rather splendid tipoff from Jess (cheers Jess) - apparently, on a Welsh music site's forum (and I refuse to call it a "zine" - that's one letter off "zane", and I'll be buggered before I subconciously promote the work of Billy Zane), a girl's father died. This is pretty standard fair for messageboards - ( Read more... )

I hate David Blaine. There, I said it. He is the embodiment of mystical, karma-based new-age bullshit. He freezes out talk show hosts with his "deep messages" (which would not be half as "deep" if he wasn't smacked off his tits) and amazes the world with his stupid stunts. Like living in a slightly smaller room than he's used to. I'm sorry, but am ( Read more... )

So good, that I drew it:

Recently, on my quest for poor journals (I tell you, this one hasn't been open more than 24 hours and it's already become an obsession - I've begun collecting poor journals. Mental) I noticed this on somebody's page:

There is a fine art to web logging (blogging) - however I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say that if you picked a thousand online blogs at random, Approximately 90% of them would be an immense waste of time and full to the brim with trivial crap, and only a handful of them would actually be worth reading. I've been quite lucky, in that my ( Read more... )

I like MSN messenger - it's a useful tool, because I'm not a big fan of phonecalls. However, like every medium that becomes popular, it has become infested with idiots. Every pre-pubescent cretin has signed up with the sole intent of proving me right. For example, here is a genuine contact on my userlist:
