Cool T-Shirt Designs (Bleee)
September 21, 2008
T-shirts are a great way to get some custom designed clothing for yourself to show off your individuality, that’s one reason why I feel much more at comfortable wearing jeans and a T-shirt than a suit or shirt and tie.
Want to Start Blogging?…& A John Cow TV Tragedy
September 20, 2008
Do you remember the last time I wrote about JohnCow? He was the winner in a contest against Garry Conn in which they were both creating niche blogging websites to sell, the site which brought in the highest price would be declared the winner.
Would you like to have your own website? Do you like writing? Do you want to blog? First of all, you need to target what actually interests you to start with, that makes the actual writing so much easier to do!

Today is National Talk Like a Pirate Day!
With that mind Cravendale Milk have a site called Pirate Radio in honour of this great day – this is because their advertising has featured a jolly pirate for several years – just in case you couldn’t work out the connection there!
With this site you can play several pirate phrases out loud and even send your friends some custom pirate audio messages with the Pirate Phrase Generator – have a go at creating some of your own – there’s some rather amusing possibilities!

September 19, 2008
Imagine a mix between Motorstorm and SSX……..and you’ve got Pure!
I saw the PS3 demo for this game on the Playstation Network and thought it could be good for a laugh for a couple of minutes, but this game has left me wanting more.
Pure is the new ATV racing game from Disney Interactive. In the demo, you have objectives to complete before you can race. The objectives are there just to get you used to the game controls and include, doing a lap around the track, pulling tricks, boosting and completing a lap within 27 seconds.

September 18, 2008
Microsoft have recently released some new adverts in the form of some funny TV commercials featuring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld. Now anyone would think they are really trying to capture the spirit of the Seinfeld show, they seem as though they are “ads about nothing”, even stranger given that Microsoft have historically done very little in terms of advertising, so actually spending money for very little is rather odd.
Microsoft are paying approximately $300 million for this funny TV commercial ad campaign (supposedly around $20million of that is going to Jerry Seinfeld himself), so they presumably hope that they will do something to hit back at the Apple ads over recent years that compare PC and Macs and the ‘trouncing’ they have received because of them.

September 17, 2008
Supernatural is back for its 4th season. I really like this show and think there have been some really good moments so far and hope that the show doesn’t go off in another direction and become a has been show.
In case you’ve been living in a cave and haven’t seen Supernatural yet, the story follows brothers Dean (Jensen Ackles, who you might recognise from early Smallville episodes) and Sam (Jared Padalecki) Winchester as they track down and kill evil spirits, ghosts, werewolves, Demons and all kinds things from Hell.

September 16, 2008
We all need cheap fuel prices these days given they have been increasing at an alarming rate over the past few months and it’s becoming increasingly important to try and minimise your fuel costs wherever possible. The best first step you can take is by ensuring that you get cheap fuel prices from the cheapest local place in your area.
Cheap UK Petrol Price Map
I’ve found a great service which is called ‘What Gas’ who provides a service where people can visually see where their cheap fuel prices are in their local area (within the UK) by way of displaying petrol stations on a map.

September 15, 2008
The Smallville season 8 trailer has been released ahead of the show starting again in America on 18th September 2008 for what will probably be its final season.
I was quite surprised by Smallville season 7 on a number of accounts, first of all I was impressed by the fact that the producers actually managed to get 20 episodes made in the year that the writers’ strike meant that most shows had a great many less episodes in them, most of them only managing around half as many episodes, such as was the case with Heroes and Prison Break.

September 14, 2008
Orange recently released their Windows Mobile 6.1 update for the Orange Tytn II which is available for you to download and install on your mobile phone.
Installing Windows Mobile 6.1 onto my Orange Tytn II was the first time that I’d actually attempted to update the operating system software installed on a mobile phone and as such I was a cautious about it – the last thing I wanted to do was screw up my mobile phone which was working perfectly well.
Windows Mobile 6.1 features the following upgrades and new features for your Windows-based smartphone:

September 13, 2008
I’ve just downloaded a demo of Play TV for the Playstation 3. The Play TV demo is a digital tuner for use with the PS3 and allows you to watch and record digital programmes onto your HDD, the same as Freeview recorders or Sky+.
The menu is very basic and easy to navigate around and the guide with all the TV listings was very easy to use as it’s no different from the ones I’ve used previously on Freeview and Sky.
The programmes that are the demo are obviously just demo channels that have already been pre-installed for users to get used to how Play TV works. You can record a programme with one push of the select button, which I found very useful also.
