Last week-or-so

( Family and Weekends )

Last Thursday night I attended another networking event (which you can read more about here)… It was a lot of fun and afterwards there was a small group of 5 of us that hung around and partied-on.
Over the weekend Kristy’s Dad (and family) came to stay with us. It has taken a few years [...]

For the uninitiated, StumbeUpon is basically like channel surfing the net. Users submit pages to StumbleUpon and tag them based on whatever the page is about. This allows anyone to bring-up a topic of [...]

Will it blend?

A few days ago I came across the site Will It Blend? and it’s basically a website promoting a particular type of kitchen blender.
Doesn’t sound particularly interesting hey? Well you should check out the site!
