I’ve been playing around with my RSS settings. I broke a couple of things. But now they’re fixed. I think.
If you’d like to subscribe and you’ve been having issues recently with the “RSS” link on the site – now’s the time. It works. Hooray. Click here to update your feed.
Also, if you subscribe to any old versions of the feed you should probably change – the nathanintownsville domain expires in a month.
This meat tenderiser has a nice ring to it.
I remember growing radishes in school. They tasted ok fresh from the ground, but I’ve never really had cause to purchase them…
Until now.
How does the Wii work? I’m sure there’s all sorts of Nintendo technical jargon to explain it – but I suspect it’s all lies and this is closer to the truth…
This is, without question, the best in car invention ever, or at least since the in car cooking stuff I featured ages ago.
I’ve spent a fair bit of time playing Farmville on Facebook. I recently overcame my addiction.
This picture, from some other Farmviller named Jeff, is almost enough to lure me back…
A photographer in the US has produced a series of photos of boxers before and after their fights.
It’s pretty cool, check these out…

Facebook is dangerous for parents. I’ve covered that before. It’s bad enough when you’re not spared the gory details of nappy changing… but it’s worse when the parents in question are middle aged, trying to check up on their children, and not quite au fait with the technology… like this mother.
I love how websites can collect data and make recommendations that are useful these days. iTune’s Genius thing is awesome, and Amazon’s book recommendations based on what others bought with books I’ve picked have led me to a couple of purchases… but this is just beautiful…

I’ve always laughed at the idea of Chess as a sport. But this concept called “Blitz Chess” is how the game should be played.
Some criminals are clearly better motivated than others, and some clearly come with more ingenuity… but here are five funny crime stories from this week…
From here.
This guy robbed a woman and then went back to ask her out on a date…
This one’s actually pretty clever… a pair of street criminals in India have a nice little racket where one surreptitiously squirts poo on foreigners shoes in crowds – and the other runs a shoe shining business and points out his partner’s crime.
This guy is claiming innocence on some 37 speeding tickets because his monkey mask means police can’t definitively say that he’s behind the wheel.
One little piggy went to market, while this guy buried a gun in his fat rolls (Eglon style) and tried to smuggle it into prison.
And finally, this guy slipped a loaded gun into his pants and left the safety off. You’ll never guess what happened.
Take two of my childhood favourites. Combine them. And you have perfect blog fodder. Like this Ping Pong/Street Fighter mashup…
This is pretty awesome.
Birds on the Wires from Jarbas Agnelli on Vimeo.
Why is it awesome?
“Reading a newspaper, I saw a picture of birds on the electric wires. I cut out the photo and decided to make a song, using the exact location of the birds as notes (no Photoshop edit). I knew it wasn’t the most original idea in the universe. I was just curious to hear what melody the birds were creating. I sent the music to the photographer, Paulo Pinto, who I Googled on the internet. He told his editor, who told a reporter and the story ended up as an interview in the very same newspaper.”
Found here, from here (in Spanish).
