One good reason to put up with smelly pigs is bacon. What is it about the “magical porcine meat candy” that appeals so? Recently Boq of Argghhh! posted Oelund’s novel way to quickfry your bacon. It combines the porcine delight with noise and fire-power all at the one time. I don’t move in gun circles [...]

A Second Life?
SecondLife is one of the most remarkable Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) games I’ve ever played. I’ve played quite a few too. In many ways it’s like what the Sims Online should have been only better. Better because it’s more freedom oriented and not nearly so slow and also better because anyone can contribute to creation [...]
Making Cheese
Yes cheese. I love cheese; runny, mouldy, sharp, blue you name it, though I will indeed pass on the casu marzu. Many nations make fantastic cheese, even Australia has some that I’m proud of. However most cheese sold is not so good and the good stuff usually costs $money$. With my inner miser in mind [...]
Whatizit Update
A bit of a delay not that any of you seem to have a clue, so I hereby post the Second John Angle! ™. I hope it helps. The next reveal will be the entire enchilada.
Whatizit This Time?
The first view is always the John view. This time i’ve been a little more generous. So then whatizit? It is military in nature and I photographed this in Australia last week. Edit: Ok you guys are struggling. I’m surprised. I will post up another great angle of non revealing soon. We took these images [...]
Twitter beats Google?
You know Google’s targeted advertising (and probably most targeted advertising) has a serious flaw. I’ve used Gmail for some time and they advertise by text. Usually I don’t notice it but recently I bought a phone. No really it does make sense. You see I bought a phone and I talked about it in my [...]
Another Cookbook for your Collection
Must… resist… corny… lines…. nah what the hell. Just when you thought it was safe to enter the kitchen we have new nutty idea from the mind of the Gastronome. Now you can prepare authentic meatballs where the whole purpose is to balls it up. Then you can snack on a nut Sundae before you [...]
Lego
Ever since childhood I’ve loved playing with lego, those little plastic blocks from which amazing things could be constructed. I remember the lego displays with interesting things made of ridiculous numbers of lego pieces and wonder what happen to them. Recently I finished a lego technic combine harvester which is perhaps the biggest technic thing [...]
Wacko Jacko Lives up to his Name Again
Pictures of Michael Jackson in new levels of gaudy, tacky, scary or all three never seem to end. Perhaps he really does drive the fashion industry. H/t: Isreallycool
Natural Harvest?
The thing with the internet is just when you think you’ve seen it all something else comes along. A new angle of Gastronomy… Certainly, it promotes itself. It’s actually for sale and is exactly what it seems to be. “Semen is inexpensive to produce and is commonly available in many, if not most, homes and [...]
Donate to Valour-IT
It’s the closing days of the drive for donations to Project Valour-IT, last time I looked $68,467 has been secured to help injured soldiers. We need a lot more. In the past, 2,700+ specialist laptops have been provided to help them communicate with loved ones and thus aid their recovery. Fuzzybear lioness, a good hearted [...]
US-Afghanistan Military Gastronomy
I made a casual statement I wonder what he thinks of the food Imagine my surprise to get such a well fitted answer in the comments. I reproduce the translation of Merlin’s comments below. It was kindly provided by commenter Emmanuel Zitnik from which blog I am not certain. Perhaps the previous translator. I admit [...]
What can’t you see on webcam?
If sex, computer geeks and endless views of scenery aren’t enough some kid decides to take the long nap on webcam and has audience to encourage him along. I recall another suicide by a crook in custody on police video but this was not a live webcam. I don’t understand people urging suicides on. It’s [...]
Tenant Horror Story Online
Saw a link in the media today. Buymydump.com is a horror story of a messy tenant which runs off and the landlord wants to flog off the house because they are sick of it. This is hardly a new story but this one has pictures and an invitation to buy the property. It’s a fascinating [...]
