As spotted on aka R’acquel’s site, the question is, What Be Your Nerd Type? Aside from the fact that the construction “what be” makes it sound like it’s been put together by yokels, that sounds interesting…
Turns out I’m a literature nerd (closely followed by being a gamer/computer nerd). Presumably because one of the questions seemed […]

Over at Stephen Lang’s site, I’ve noticed he’s trying to come up with a six-word memoir. I’m not entirely sure how you sum up your life, your achievements, your thoughts hopes and desires into just six words, but I’m prepared to give it a shot.
It’s an interesting concept — if maybe a little morbid — […]

Link back to the person who tagged you.
Post these rules on your blog.
Share six unimportant things about yourself.
Tag six random people at the end of your blog entry.

It occurred to me today that I regularly read about fifteen blogs. And that regularly I find interesting posts on other blogs that I’m pointed at (normally if someone’s made an interesting comment on my site or on a site I read). But I probably don’t go back to them often enough.
Some — like Escape […]

I got an email meme in my inbox today from me old mate Lyn, who I’ve known since the days when I was a student, and who I’ve just about managed to keep in contact with over the years. I don’t particularly do email memes, but I’m happy to do blog ones, so I’ve transmogrified […]

(as located on Very True Things)
Go to the Wikipedia home page and click random article. That is your band’s name.
Click random article again; that is your album name

I was recently reading a post on Mike Cherim’s site entitled My Hometown: Nottingham, New Hampshire where he pointed out that a lot of us bloggers will probably have visited each others online homes regularly, but have little or no idea what the place is like where we actually live.
Well, I’m a Gateshead boy. I […]

I spotted Stephen Lang’s Funtime Memetime and thought it seemed like a good idea. Basically, to take part, all you have to do is to quote the first sentence from your first post of each month of the past year. So here goes…

There’s this gentleman I know who stuff keeps happening to.
March
You might […]

Okay, it’s just a heads up for anyone who might be interested this year.
Last year, myself, Stephen, Mike and Dan took part in the 2006 Christmas blogswap.
Basically, the idea was to allow one of the other “contestants” to write a guest post for your site. The rules are simple: comment here if you want […]
