I didn’t do one of these yesterday, let alone much of anything else, because I was sick as a dog. Today, I’d like to jump back into it with a link to the updated video gallery that the Sketchersons have just added to their website. They’ve just added a whole bunch of new content – […]

Here’s something to spice up your grey day. Enter your date of birth, and Dead at Your Age will tell you something interesting about someone you’ve outlived. “You’ve outlived Commodus by two days,” it told me this morning. “He was the son of Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor (180-192). He died by murder on December 31, […]

“Twilert is a free web app that enables you to receive regular email updates of tweets containing your brand, product, service… well, any keyword you like really!” I’ve been looking for an app like this for work, and the one I’d originally started experimenting with doesn’t seem to do the job.

“Just relax and listen to the waves,” suggests a rather neat single-use site called Do Nothing for 2 Minutes. “Don’t touch your mouse or keyboard.” The site chastises you with a big red “FAIL” if you blow it, and congratulates you if you succeed. Thanks to Steph for the link.

Today is the day that Dead Space 2 hits the shelves, so I thought I’d link to a rather clever bit of advertising done in honour of the game. Clearly, someone behind the scenes knows a thing or two about marketing terrifying video games to teenagers.

“The Toronto Community Foundation connects philanthropy with community needs and opportunities in order to make Toronto the best place to live, work, learn, and grow. “We are one of the largest of Canada’s 165 community foundations. Established in 1981, we have grown to hold over $225 million in assets and to work with hundreds of […]
