Long Tale TV - MEA Inquest
Posted by: Owen on Friday, 18th Apr, 2008
Another great episode on Long Tale TV, the Isle of Man’s only TV station. This one concerns some investigative reporting into the recent MEA overspend. Things are not always what they seem …
April 1st is almost over
Posted by: Owen on Tuesday, 1st Apr, 2008
It’s been really strange, I haven’t really been in an April Fool’s Day mood today at all. So the usual round of April Fools gags have just passed me by without so much as a glance. Well, I lie, I did actually enjoy watching the BBCs flying penguins, and ProBloggers’ PayPerTweet. Didn’t really care much [...]
BOFH and automatic doors
Posted by: Owen on Monday, 31st Mar, 2008
I really enjoy reading TheRegister, but I particularly enjoy reading it when there’s a new episode of the BOFH (B*st*rd Operator From Hell). I’ve been following the series for many years now, reading about his electrocuting users, locking them up, hiding vital equipment in one of his travel trailers, poisoning them with laxatives, maiming different [...]

Looks like ProBlogger is hopping onto the ever-growing market where common users get paid for generating social media content on the behalf of commercial organisations, with their new PayPerTweet service. Here’s the blurb from their site:
With millions now using Twitter on a daily basis it’s only natural that companies and individuals would wish to have [...]
Oh for a cup of coffee
Posted by: Owen on Friday, 5th Oct, 2007
It’s Friday, and Fridays are always time for a bit of fun. Carlo has sent me a great email showing what some more “artistically-inclined” individuals have managed to achieve when it comes to making a cup of cappuccino more attractive. I love these, so I thought I would share .. (click to see full view)
btw, [...]

Star Trek Observations
Posted by: Owen on Tuesday, 10th Apr, 2007
No one ever needs to use the toilet
No matter how advanced their computers are in the future the holo decks safety will always fail taking the crew on some new wacky adventure.
They are so advanced in the future that you can actually hear sound in space when shooting a photon torpedo at a ship.
On all [...]

What’s in a name?
Posted by: Owen on Wednesday, 28th Mar, 2007
And on a lighter note, sometimes it’s worth keeping an eye on what others think might be a good idea. All of these are legitimate companies that didn’t spend quite enough time considering how their online names might appear:
“Who Represents” is where you can find the name of the agent that represents any celebrity. TheirWeb [...]
In the beginning …
Posted by: Owen on Monday, 19th Feb, 2007
In the beginning, God created the bit. And the bit was a zero; nothing.
On the first day, He toggled the 0 to 1, and the Universe was. (In those days, bootstrap loaders were simple, and ‘active low’ signals didn’t yet exist.)
On the second day, God’s boss wanted a demo, and tried to read the bit. [...]
A picture is worth a thousand words
Posted by: Owen on Friday, 9th Feb, 2007
Came across this site today which has some amazing cartoons (actually I got the link from Seth Godin’s blog).
It’s a blog by Jessica Hagy called Indexed which is based around her cartoons and scribbles. What I love is that they are really simple and extremely witty.
Great fun and I love each and ever one of [...]

Why can’t women put on mascara with their mouths closed?
Why don’t you ever see the headline ‘Psychic Wins Lottery!’?
Why is ‘abbreviated’ such a long word?
Why is a boxing ring square?
Why is it called lipstick if you can still move your lips after you use it?
Why is it necessary to nail down the lid of a [...]
Apple Joke

I don’t know how many of you are subscribed to my Only Humor mailing list, but for those who aren’t; you may enjoy this joke:
A Rabbi who’s been leading a congregation for many years is upset by the fact that he’s never been able to eat pork. So he devises a plan whereby he flies [...]
Wisecrack
Posted by: Owen on Friday, 1st Dec, 2006
Here’s a good joke Anna sent me today:
A college teacher reminds her class of tomorrow’s final exam. “Now class, I won’t
tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack
or a serious personal injury, illness, or a death in your immediate family, but that’s
it, no other excuses whatsoever!”
A smart-ass guy [...]
Home Office from Hell Contest
Posted by: Owen on Tuesday, 24th Oct, 2006
Don’t you always wish you have a bit more space in your home office or den? There’s
always things that need filing, sorting or arranging and it’s amazing how things just
pile up on top of each other. btw, the picture on the right isn’t our home office
.. I promise! We have a delightful study in [...]
