Freecycle
I received this funny in an email today:
A friend of mine bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying: “Free to good home. You want it, you take it.” For three days the fridge sat There without even one person looking twice at it. My friend decided that People were too untrusting of this deal. It looked too good to be true , so he changed the sign to read: “Fridge for sale £50.” The next day someone stole it.
Pretty believable if you ask me – you can’t make this kind of stuff up. The person trying to get rid of their fridge obviously hasn’t heard of freecycle – I have no trouble getting rid of my fridge freezer on there, and today I became the proud owner of a Tatung 27″ TV. The sound doesnt work for some reason, but I could always put it through my HIFI.

Big Brother
Well, here is the first of my Big Brother websites. I’ve spent a few evenings during the last week creating a basic CMS so that I can create the sites quickly. There is so much going on in the Big Brother household at the moment, so I need to get my skates on with the other sites – Emily got removed today for using a racist word, so I’ll be doing her site next I think.

Saturday morning musings
My Radeon 9250 graphics card has crapped out on my again 🙁 I’ve spent what seems like hours trying to reload the drivers, but I’ve given up for the moment as it was begining to be a waste of time. So, I’m running on one monitor for the time being.
I’m currently listening to The Beatles, a group that I’ve never really been into before. However, since seeing a cover band at a good friend’s wedding I’ve slowly converted. A couple of weeks ago I heard one of their tracks on the Radio that I really enjoyed, but I have since forgotten what the name was. All I can remember is that the verse and chorus were different speeds, and that it was really catchy. I’ve borrowed a heap of their albums in an effort to find the song.
Blog statistics have been interesting the past couple of days – I’ve been getting an extra 50 unique visitors a day. The stuff that I’ve been trying in SEO Book must really work 🙂
I realise that I am in the minority for my Big Brother views expressed in my last post, and I do realise that millions of people are hooked, so I have bought some related domains for a little marketing experiment. Once I’ve put some content on them I’ll post them here for all to see.
I’m off to enjoy the sun now …

Its time for Big Brother 8
Yes, its that time of year when a group of 12 socially inept losers with few values and morals and little to no emotional intelligence who haven’t got anything better to do with their lives decide to share a household watched by millions. Then, when they get evicted, they try to make a career out of having been on TV. Yes, its time once again for Big Brother. How quickly time seems to go by when its not on.
As you have probably guessed by now, I am not a fan of Big Brother. For me this programme is probably the lowest form of entertainment, if I can call it that, to be aired on TV. Forget about the dog ugly Jade Goody, who seems to have little appreciation that Big Brother made her, and that its not alright to be offensive to anyone she likes, and the incident that caused a dent in her career. What I don’t like about Big Brother is that it offers me very little entertainment value, and no educational content whatsoever. I wonder how many other people feel the same way…
It seems that TV is resorting to showing more and more shocking behavior as their link bait. Check out this Dutch TV station that is going to be airing a gameshow where the prize is a dying person’s kidneys – to me, this sounds like something out
of a Stephen King novel.
