I really have to stop watching late night TV

by

OMG … have you seen that stupid show on the Comedy Network called Distraction? It’s been canceled now- I think for good reason!

It’s a UK comedy game show. They make the contestants do the craziest things like sit under full bird cages as they answer questions and of course the birds are pooping on them the whole time. I’ve also seen them have to drink their own urine, stick their hands in cactus’ to push the buzzer so that they can answer a question, and uhm use their mouths to take stuck on numbered answers off of big naked people.

I can’t think of particularly dangerous stunts right now that I’ve seen the contestants have to do, but I know that there have been some that made me think that “These people must sign away their lives before they go on the show”.

Have you seen this show? Of course you haven’t. Most of you are in bed at 3 am aren’t you? Not me obviously. I’ve been stuck watching far too many of these stupid shows for my liking. Trouble is there really isn’t much else on.





Bumpzee a social network site that you should join

by

I don’t know if many of you have heard of the Bumpzee social network site yet?

I just wrote a post about it on Webstyle that describes many of the great features that I’ve discovered, and talks about two important communities that I took the time to join.

If you are interested in promoting your site, finding other bloggers and even getting some back links from a great site you really should read my article on WebStyle.

I know that there’s a lot of social networks that everyone’s joining these days, not to mention Do follow lists, and technorati favs and all, but this is one site that I’m certain you’ll benefit from joining. So please, don’t forget to visit site, ok?

Are they really Dead on Lost?

by

Does anyone watch Lost?

I enjoy watching it each week just to see if I can figure out what kinds of twists and turns might happen before they actually happen.

So it seems that flight 815 was found in the Ocean it was confirmed that all the passengers were dead? Huh? Then what does that mean? Is everyone that’s on the island now really dead? Living in some kind of hell as was implied on Wednesdays show by Locks father?

Oh yeah, I totally knew that Locke didn’t kidnap Ben. I knew he was leading Sawyer to his father, and I wasn’t all that surprised to find that Sawyer had a connections with Lockes’ father too. It seems that everyone of the characters on the show has had a past connection of some kind.

I think there’s a couple shows left to go before the season ends. How do you think they’ll leave things for the summer?

Broadband providers in the UK

by

If you live in the Uk and you’d like to find a cheap broadband service you should take a moment and look at Broadbandsuppliers.co.uk. They have listings of all the major broadband providers throughout the UK.

Looking through their list of broadband providers I see listing for companies that provided unlimited broadband, and ADSL broadband. You can compare broadband providers to see who will offer you the best prices and services that you need.

Companies such as AOL, Eclipse, BT, Tiscali, Pipex, Plusnet, Talktalk, BE, and Virgin are all listed. Check it out for yourself and see if you can find a new cheap broadband provider.

Do Follow blogroll update

by

I started a blogroll for blogs that have removed the nofollow tags from their comment area about two weeks ago and already the blogroll has grown to a list of about 110 sites! It’s gonna be huge!

The blogroll is called the Do Follow Blogroll, and if you have taken the time to remove the nofollow tags from your site manually or with a plugin I’d be happy to add you to the list. Just visit the blogroll page and leave me a comment.

While you are on the blogroll page please notice that there are now some logos that you can use above your copy of the blogroll or as a link to your Do follow blogroll page/post. You have five different colours to chose from. Zorn from Don’t Fear the Truth was kind enough to make these graphics for us. All I ask is that you copy the graphic of your choice to your own computer and or server – do not link to the images on my site.

I’d like to take the time to thank everyone who’s joined the blogroll so far. Many of the list members are going around and visiting the sites on the blogroll and leaving great comments.

As you might know by now, sites that Follow give you a real link that can be picked up by the search engines, so commenting on these sites provides more comments for the site owner and they in turn give you a true link. Great for bloggers and visitors alike.

All I ask, and I’m sure many of the blog owners will agree is that you do leave a valid comment. Don’t just stop by and say “nice post”. Please only comment if you really have something to say. I do think the majority of people have been leaving great comments but I just wanted to mention this because I know the do follow bloggers probably don’t appreciate people leaving lame comments just for the sake of getting a link. Find a post that you connect with and leave a good comment.

Likewise, don’t fill the body of your comment with links to your other sites unless it really pertains to whatever the comment is that you are leaving. Links inside the body of comments look spammy and in fact, spam plugins tend to think it’s spam and end up putting it in the spam folder. A lot of bloggers don’t go through their spam folders and just delete, so that means you’ve just wasted your time.

Again, thanks to everyone who joined the list. I hope that you are all getting something out of it. For those that haven’t signed up yet – what the heck are you waiting for?
