Here’s my bundle of Internet goodies for you all:

Anyone up for a game of Blogpoly? How much of a ‘blogosphere’ nerd are you? See how many of these things mean something to you!

But hey, puzzle games are boring and don’t allow you to Beat the Press cruising along to the Daily Show theme tune.

BBC News is reporting interesting things today. Like Glasgow City Council bribing kids with iPods – because presumably the local government is so overflowing with money they can afford to splash out on ‘worthy’ projects like this.

OK that’s it – I’m out of things to link to. Tonight’s (time-shifted) HIGNFY has been \ will be hosted by Marcus Brigstocke – yayness.

Edit – I’m getting more hopeful and excited by the minute… longer post coming soon!

Double Edit – “final version of the Windows Anti-Spyware tool to be made available to all customers of licensed Windows at no charge.” Today is just amazing

Jamster, the incredibly annoying company that advertises that stupid ‘Crazy Frog’ every 2 minutes on music TV channels, are 100% owned by… Verisign.

Taking my hatred to a whole new level. Let’s hope the .net domain gets awarded to someone else.
