Amusing anecdotes & random ramblings
The 35th top UK blogger is …
apparently my former neighbour Rhys – at least according to Blogstorm, a figure they somehow managed to arrive at after analyzing rankings from Alexa and Technorati.
Which means that theoretically, Rhys’s blog – while full of good anecdotes, isn’t exactly brimming with unique content that’s applicable to the human populace – has beaten the likes of sex blogs Belle De Jour and girl with a one track mind, London blog Londonist, and technology commentary blogs plasticbag.org and benmetcalfe.com.
Such a shame I’m cutting down on the number of publically-accessible funny anecdotes, just in case future generations (or more likely HR consultants) manage to find this blog. You’ll have to register and let me know if you want the better quality or more personal stuff…
Either way, congratulations Rhys! I walked past you once on Llandudno high street, y’know. (ahhh my brushes with web fame!)

means a few surprises from time to time. Like telling people that it’s not a place where they shower you with money while you hang out backstage with Matt Smith or even Huw Edwards, for instance. Although there are a few fantastic non-financial bonuses, of course – like working on election night. Really must blog

West12 Shopping CentreTaken by bonez007 Like many people who use FourSquare, I often wonder if there’s actually any point to checking in to a location, aside from point scoring and the fact I’m usually bored at a bus stop. American friends of mine tell of strange legends whereby if you show you’re a Mayor at

LinkedIn has become the defacto premiere website for making business connections, so as a consequence all these groups have sprung up promising to connect you to more and more people. I joined a few groups, but they weren’t quite what I was looking for. So I wanted to leave a group. You’d have thought a

So… on the night when David Cameron finally became Prime Minister, HyperHam and I had the following conversation: HH: “Why is Mrs Cameron standing at the back, pregnant and far away from her husband?” AW: “Well, we’re living in Tory times now.” To me, this was so amazingly funny and of-the-moment, that I immediately posted

Google Street View has thrillingly – and rather scarily – managed to scan 95% of the homes in the UK. Which means that most of my childhood haunts are finally on Google Maps for an easy trip down nostalgia street. However, when I try to go down this street in Tywyn and then move forward,
No buzz with Buzz…

So Google Buzz has launched, and I’ve had a quick play with it. Unfortunately, it’s done the same thing as many recent Google product launches – it hasn’t brought anything new to the table, aside from the sheer gargantuan amount of data it stores about me. And the only reason it has so much data

In the art of experimenting with new websites and new forms of communication, a new website has sprung me which allows you, the humble web surfer, to ask me anything at all. And to do it anonymously, if you so wish. Of course, there are many ways to do that, but with this website, any

The fact that your friend has cleverly boosted his Technorati rankings by offering a free downloadable Technorati Tag Generator script which links back to his site from every blog that uses it might be skewing the results somewhat.

Skew the results! My arse! People love and cherish me more than their own gran!
And whilst sex sells, sexy Welshmen sell more.
