I’m experimenting with Technorati. Recently I’ve been using it quite a bit to search for breaking ‘news’ from the blogosphere and I thought “hey, why not give tags a go?” (I was also trying to avoid completing my online CV – but at least I’ve made a start now!)
Today I also:
- Paid in cheques. Always a fuzzy feeling.
- Applied for an Abbey e-savings account. Always a daunting feeling.
- Listened to Loney – Akon… in Dutch. Courtesy of Pingu. Much better than the English version, precisely because you can’t understand the stupid lyrics.
- Had one of those wonderful phone conversations with Holly Parkhouse where she manages to sound remarkably upbeat even with a swollen eye (ouch)
- Made Alex Trafford laugh with my suggestions to improve Aspire magazine – this rather dull thing that’s send to all the members of the ‘National Academy for Gifted and Talented Youth’. He suggested I blog them, so here I am.
Things I’d like to be included in Aspire*:
- Geek page 3 girls
- Dilbert
- Geek TV Guide
- Advice columns done by geeks for stupid people written in a patronising and mocking tone
- Free gifts!
*(Not entirely serious – don’t write angry letters)
Aspire *needs* geeky page 3, geeky tv guides, dilbert, free gifts and most of all patronising articles!
Free gifts…hmm…perhaps more keyrings?
What is this ""ASPIRE""?
The magazine for ‘National Academy Gifted and Talented Youth’ (http://www.nagty.ac.uk/)
Here it is: http://www.nagty.ac.uk/student_academy/resources/aspire/index.aspx
Riveting reading
Nothing wrong with aspire =P. I think I’m in a couple of them somewhere.
