Link round up

I got home about seven today, with achy feet, and I decided I was in need of a nap. That nap lasted from seven till midnight, so I’m fairly alert now. I managed to get through sixty RSS items, and even wrote up some ideas on two of them (which you probably just read). Anyway, on my travels I stumbled upon very few interesting things. I did find out amazingly that awesome things happen when you live in San Fransico.

Prager, producer of Diggnation,  had a random guy just stumble into his apartment, use his bathroom, take his trousers off and try to go to sleep. Being a third generation news provider that he is, he decided to twitter and ustream it up. I saw that article on in Reader and thought “lol, some people are dumb”. Then realised that it was Prager (why isn’t his name headline news? that guy’s awesome) and lolz ensued and I was slightly less shocked.

Lifehacker found an awesome Greasemonkey script that keeps your place on long pages. (In fact Lifehacker didn’t find it, gHacks did but their website is ugly, I mean serious, more ad space than content.) I was actually just about to make a Firefox extension that allows you to click a place on a page which inserts a name link tag, so that you could then bookmark that. But since I’ve just found this, I guess it’ll do.

If you find that you do decide to read Watchmen, then you’ll be needing something like this comic book reader. Whilst I’m linking to comic book stuff, I rediscovered StopTazmo the other day, free manga for the win.

I surf the Internet so you don’t have to

My homepage, and web application I use most (even more than Facebook), is Google Reader. I have about 35 feeds I’m subscribed too – some aren’t updated regularly, some every few hours – all in all, if I don’t check Reader every day or so I end up with an unmanagable amount of items to read. Saying that, I usually read them all. People like Lifehacker and Techcrunch update all the time.

Anyway, I sometimes “share” items, which stick them in an RSS feed of their own for people to see what I really like. Anyway, I figured I’d talk about the items that I share once a week or whatever, because I like updating here.

Yum? Maybe...

I’m not a big vodka fan, but I know people who are so this post about Skittles flavoured vodka, and it’ll be an awesome present for them. Though, incredibly sweet. Much like the time I added Southern Comfort to my tea – it was delicious but added sugar isn’t needed.
