For years when I owned and operated a web hosting business I used to say my job was: To stop the internet from getting full. See what happens when I leave the industry for 9 months? Idiots.
Death by Caffeine →
I drink about 8-12 cups a day so at least now I know that I’m totally safe as it would take roughly 120 cups of coffee to kill me!

Best. Name. Ever. The leading choice in Greenpeace’s whale naming competition. Reblogged my own post via kabukiblues because he took an extra two seconds to explain it better.
Thought for the day
New governments are better than new years, because unlike the latter, they actually have a chance of signifying a new beginning. — miss-r

Dear Tumblr,
if I had a wish to wish it would be being able to “like” posts.
There is not so often a need to reblog when one of my friends says something cool, and I just want to keep it permalinked in my “likes list”. — great idea found via mareen.

I have no music cred
Even though I adore music - all types, live, in bed, on the deck on a Sunday afternoon or in the car driving to the GC. I just listen to stuff which sounds good. Makes sense to me but music snob mates of mine go Oh Anthony. Whatever. Anyway. I’m co-hosting the evening program on ABC Brisbane and ABC local radio Queensland Statewide next Friday night. Yay for me. However, I will need to...

When Homer thought there were no doughnuts...
…is my favourite Simpsons moment ever!
Homer started travelling back in time with a toaster cum time machine he built (didn’t he learn anything about the perils of messing around with the space-time continuum from watching Back To The Future 1, 2, or 3???) and in one alternate universe everything was better than perfect but sans doughy sugary goodness. Obviously he freaked out over...

The culmination of 'NY Girl of My Dreams'
Here is the complete run down as a follow up to my original post and my link to Gawker’s comments about Patrick Moberg’s internet search for the NY Girl of My Dreams.
The story makes the NY Post.
Here is a video with Patrick talking about why he did it
Then it was revealed the girl was a New York magazine intern called Camille Hayton.
