Lego Johnny 5
Daniele Benedettelli has taken a whole stack of Lego Mindstorms (an advanced type of Lego) and used them to build Johnny 5 from the movie Short Circuit.
I really enjoyed the film when I was little and seeing the robot brought to life now is very cool. I really want some Lego Mindstorms as well, but it's so expensive that I can't justify buying any at the moment. Maybe I will get some ...
New Google Updates (Analytics, Reader, Adsense, and Checkout)
I'm sure I remember reading something like this at the start of the year (I'm making the quote up).
We (Google) are now going to stop releasing stacks of new stuff, and instead focus on improving what we have

Somehow I had managed to replace my main site styles with my print stylesheet (do a print preview and you will see how it looks).
The silly thing is I noticed the styles weren't identical when I was editing them, but I didn't think to check. If ...

One thing I am really amazed at is the ...

CompetitionCurrently GameGum are running a referral contest in which you can potentially win $100 and 1000 GameGum points (more on those in a bit) - with a total of $250 worth of ...
Text Link Ads – post level adverts
Today Text-Link-Ads launched their post level ads service. What this service does is let advertisers purchase adverts that get added to the end of specific posts on your site. These adverts last a month, and contain a link and description to their site.
I think these ads seem like a really good way to both monetise and advertise. The adverts can be placed on 100% relevant pages, and getting a description as well is the icing on the cake.
I do ...
