Absolutely sensational! Brightened up my day.

Remote Control your Man/Woman

You wish! But these fun gadgets are a hoot anyway… with quirky quips like; “Time to listen!”, “What about my needs?”, and “Whoa, ever hear of foreplay?” from the Control your Man gizmo. While the Control Your Woman speaks of things like “Feed me!”, “Hand over the credit cards”, and “Yeah baby, do that again”. Have a dekko…

I reckon people would pay heaps more if this actually ‘worked’. But till science catches up to our imaginations, enjoy a neat gender stereotype reinforcing product.

I recently ran out of space on my 500 GB Western Digital My Book. I had been optimizing the data there and realized I could not trim down the data any more and HAD to get additional storage. I picked up a 1 TB Western Digital Elements device from DickSmiths, Chadstone for about A$199.

Wordpress Upgrade 2.7

Anyone with a wordpress blog, just has to to get Keith Dsouza’s Automatic Upgrate plugin. After a few ghastly upgrades before, it seems divine being able to do this, at work, with just a couple of clicks. And hello ‘Coltrane‘…

First impressions. Pretty slick! Beautiful, minimalist admin interface. Love it…

PS: The quickpress feature is a very neat addition. Only if I could figure out a way to add categories here.

Mumbai Massacre: What now?

by Ben on December 11, 2008

in Ramblings

Ok, so we’ve got one and killed 9. There, allegedly, are still another 20 terrorists who are ‘ready to die’ somewhere in India. Heads have rolled, politically. Tougher screening and checks in place, with solid intel and a whole heap of rumours doing the rounds, suggesting further attacks. Pakistan (at least the political head, among the many it has) seems to be doing the right things. Local people are (seethingly) demanding accountability. And finally seem to be getting results. What happens now?
