Well, I’ve found them interesting. These are sites/places I’ve been looking at but didn’t get around to posting about at the time:
- I got momentarily distracted at LiveLeak.com thanks to this video of a hell landing in the old Hong Kong airport (having just had wild ride into the new airport myself) – and the other eyebrow raising video’s of plane landings
- Big ups to Arthur for keeping me in the know with American politics. Check him out on Amerinz
- I was reminded the other day how much I luv boxes and arrows Check it out if you’re into good design
- So Google have launched their own browser. I dunno – maybe I’m a cynic or maybe I just don’t trust organisations that try to take over the (virtual) world. We’ll see. I like a bit of competition and would prefer to choose from a number of companies that do a few things well than one that does a whole lotta stuff not so well.
- Our “Culture and Heritage Minister says “The internet is now so much an essential part of life and commerce that access to it can be seen as “a human right”. Riiiiiiiggghhht.
- Cynic of the week goes to: The Economist for their story on Cybernationalism
- Thanks again to The Oracle for helping me solve the mystery of the carpet stain – and how to get rid of it. Er – The Oracle being our term for the www.
- I’m now on Facebook but in my typical identity-risk adverse way haven’t added that much to my profile, and still am a bit mystified about the value – I don’t want to link to random people I don’t know. We’ll see – I’ll ask around peep’s I know and see if I can set up a few meaningful links.
- Twitter Twitter Twitter – what’s the point?. I know – EGO
- Spore gets released on Friday. So does Stalker – Shadow of Chernobyl. Whee heee. If you’re not a gamer you won’t care.
- Have a look at newtondotgeek Cool.
- And just because my dinner is ready, a little bit of a Bit On The Side…. I don’t know how I feel about the conclusion – perhaps those that know me can tell me if it’s true:
Which OS are You?
My husband says “yeah” Yeah wot? It’s accurate ?
Crumbs, where have I been? Well, one big fat lesson I’ve learnt is that you have to get into the habit of blogging and if you don’t, you easily get out of the habit and a few days turns into a few weeks….
Where have I been? – nowhere really, just not blogging. So, to make up for it and so that it doesn’t look like I just don’t have anything interesting to say or haven’t seen anything interesting recently, this is going to be one very long post that summarises a bunch of stuff I’ve read or seen over the last 6 weeks. Here goes:
- I’ve been admiring the (yes, I have) govt web standards site. An excellent resource for those involved in public sector sites.
- I’ve been reading the posts in the SSC’s blog. Excellent example of practise what you preach, or learn from doing or something like that. Good on to them.
- I’ve been to Wellington to attend the Identity Management Conference. Which was one of the best conferences I’ve ever attended, but would only appeal to those interested in the subject, naturally. Also spent a few extra days in not-so-sunny Wellington, but it was nice to go somewhere different for a change.
- I’ve been watching this amusing-but-true video on site design. Maybe there’s a new presentation style to evolve out of it
- I’ve been hitting the publish button on this post before I had finished writing it
- I’ve been watching lots of movies that I had never gotten around to watching thanks to our online movie ordering service thingy we’ve signed up to. They just turn up in the mail. Fab. Gets us over that decision challenge you get when you’re standing in the video store faced with a gazzillion choices and end up walking out with nothing. I feel like I’m making some huge commitment to my choice, and end up not taking a punt on movies that as we are now discovering are really very good. Maybe I’ll start up a movie review page. Ha Ha yeah right like I’d actually get around to doing it.
- I’ve been helping Bob and Oscar make a music video – soon to be available on Kiwi Cats
- I’ve been playing with other video and web related projects
- I’ve been getting the hang of RSS Feeds – have signed up to a bunch of them and can now get completely distracted by interesting tidbits of news. Like this one. Bring on September.
- I’ve been discovering the cool resource that is istock.com
- I’ve been struck with Wiki-love. The project I’m working on has it’s own Wiki and after a few initial grumps, got the hang of it and now find it a wonderful alternative to putting stuff in boring old documents.
Ahhh…run out of breath……
I think I might start up a “one-of-my-favorite-sites” category – and just did. The inaugral fav site is the I can has cheez burger site. Anyone who doesn’t think these are funny obviously doesn’t have a heart beat.
These pics are garanteed to make me laugh.
