- Google’s Street Level Mapping
If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Google has launched a new feature that allows you to zoom in all the way to street level on their maps. That can have some unfortunate consequences as I’m sure this guy coming out of a strip club would [...]
- Jennicide’s Shaving Tips
In addition to being a popular poker player apparently Jennicide is also an expert on what it takes to make a guy sexy to women.

Being stuck where there’s only one supermarket (and the selection is quite modest), having a choice of products [...]
- Moving This Weekend
The postings might be a little light over the next few days. I’m moving into a new flat. The flat I moved into when I got here is leased by my employer and their lease is up. The landlord wants the place back to redecorate which is code for raising the rent. [...]
