It’s not all news and porn on the Internet, hell no. A whole lot of websites are there to make your life just that wee bit easier.
Take Lifehacker. Loads of tips everyday from geeky to obvious. Want to put a webcam into a bird feeder? Done! Did you know that drinking water can help a bad back? Result!
Social websites, like yer MySpace, yer Bebo, yer Facebook, have inspired loads of people to go online, create their own ‘look’ and connect with other people. Now a UK startup allows those same features through the power of the MOBILE PHONE! It’s called Buddyping and basically it can track roughly where you are by picking up a magic signal from your mobile and then connecting you with people with similar interests in that area! Freaky! You can see where I am right now here! I have no idea if it’s useful but it’s pretty cool. Expect to see lots more technology like this in the future.
Finally I think it’s cool to get in touch with your inner artist. Even then the unlimited power of the Internet can help. Take a look at Mr Picassohead, (here’s one I made of history’s greatest monsters!), make your own streetz artz or throw some paint around a canvas. Please feel free to send your work into the gallery but I’m afraid we can’t return any of your paintings.

- Experiencing TrainFail. On the bus home listening to Stevie Wonder. Innervisions is a wonderful adventure in stereo. Best album of the 70's?

- @nightkhaos checked them but O2 are offering 3 months free and are about £5 cheaper per month. Also they have a pile of good reviews. Cheers
- Not even a documentary on thatcher can send me to sleep. Or ordering broadband from O2. This is boring now.
That’s not a bad rendition of that monster, Stewart, and monster he was indeed. Thanks for all the art links. I am going to happily go off and become creative with art again - it has been so long. Actually, my daughter had been drawing on some similar types of sites for awhile, and really enjoyed it - except when she was not able to finish the drawing and had to abandon it. I guess you have to finish your work because you can’t go back and retrieve it to finish at a later time (at least that is what I understand from her). She uses Adobe Illustrator now with a pen tablet.
And that Lifehacker site looks great!

I always love your findings! And these are right up my alley. Thanks so much, I just loved playing with them.
Lifehacker was so neat I bookmarked it. Liked your monster, and monster he is forever condemned to be. I loved all of them and can’t wait to pass them along. Layla will love the art stuff, and Picasso is her fave artist. Thanks for the coolness. Your blog is always worth visiting.
