With all the excitement and growth surrounding Fair Review, I almost forgot this week’s Sunday speedlinking. Here it is.
- Han showed me this picture of a station no more than 30th minutes away. What’s the deal? It has been Dugg Tremendously. And to think I have tried to make the Digg front page on more than one occassion. Now I know all I need to do is record an MP3 of saying that word. If only my server could afford to suffer the Digg Effect, then I’d do it.
- Apparently, according to researchers, An Untidy Bed Is Good For You. The research states that house dust mites are appalled by the state of beds so don’t want to live there. That’s a new one to use on ladies, isn’t it? “Won’t you go to bed with me tonight? There’s no dustmites there!”.
- Anybody else remember these Cup Noodles Adverts? I remember them vividly from my childhood, so
- We’re all told to save engergy, but what about browsing the internet? Anything you can do then? Well apparently you can, as white pixels use up more energy than black ones. As a result, somebody came up with Blackle Energy Saving Search which is google, but on a dark background. If you want to take your tree hugging hippy fetish one step further, you can do so using Blackle!
- Finally, I was surprised to see the iGasm a “marital aid” that plugs directly into your iPod, that gives you good vibrations should you be listening to Mika or whoever. I saw Aussie Rhys post about the iGasm about a month ago, I didn’t think it was actually real!
Right, that’s your lot for today. If you want to be featured next week, please contact me.

This gives me a whole different viewpoint on my iPod. Hehehehe.
I think Blackle is a copycat of Black Google, only I personally don’t feel its creators are caring so much about saving energy as they do about piggybacking on the conservation hysteria to make some cash with AdSense for Search…I only wish I thought of the idea first! Imagine how many people might have Black Google as their homepage.
The dust mite story, I’m VERRRRRRRRRY skeptical about this new research. My daughter is extremely allergic to dust mites (we use special mattress and pillow encasings and wash her bedding in hot water daily to keep her reactions to a minimum)…I’m not the bedmaking type of person, I think I’ve made my bed maybe 5 times in my entire life. Before we discovered she was allergic I never made her bed. She continued to get more and more sick until we discovered the real problem…
Everybody has dust mites in their homes, especially in the bedroom. It’s an unavoidable fact of life. However, perhaps there are less mites in beds that are unmade, I can see the logic there. I’m just saying it’s not going to prevent them significantly enough to be healthy for an allergic person.
“Won’t you go to bed with me tonight? There’s no dustmites there!â€.
You know for me thats a puersuading argument!
Theres the ohmibod too, which is FAR more exciting! http://www.ohmibod.com/
Heh, yeah that iGasm thing is hilarious. Turns out that there are quite a few Adult toy iPod add-ons available. Brings Barry White to a whole new level
Whether or not it actually helps my allergies, I so have a new excuse for not making my bed.
Then again, why should I make my bed when I’m just going to mess it up again in the evening?
Congratulations on both milestones and well deserved!
Thanks for this great post. I really liked the Blackle webpage you’ve found. I’m really surprised that I’d never heard about it before but I guess that’s why I read other people’s blogs!
Oh yes those ipod toys are for real, I have written about them several times on http://www.pleasure-buzz.com and in my own blog
