Today’s website of the day is one for all Doctor Who fans. If you saw last Saturday’s episode, you’ll know that the Cybermen were originally created by Cybus Corporation. Well, some enterprising fans have created a website for this fictional company, at - you guessed it - www.cybuscorporation.com. It’s pretty cool, too - definitely worth [...]

Today’s website is one that was suggested as a result of yesterday’s plea for people to suggest sites - so if anyone else has some suggestions, then make them and yours might get used as well!
Anyway, today is “Animals on the Underground”, at www.animalsontheunderground.com. Not, it isn’t real animals (someone I mentioned the site to [...]

Silly and meaningless

Today’s website is the Institution of Silly and Meaningless Sayings, which can be found at www.isms.org.uk. Kind of like a more generalised collection of Colemanballs, it’s good for a laugh as you browse through.

I’m running out of ideas

I need some suggestions for website of the day. I have a short list, and a few sites which do much the same kind of thing that I check regularly, but I don’t have a lot in reserve at the moment - and I hate having to trawl through the underside of the web at [...]

Today’s website is www.cowabduction.com. Cows have been disappearing all over the globe - is there a conspiracy? Well, maybe not, but someone has put some effort into this site.

I’ve set up a t-shirt shop using the excellent facilities of Spreadshirt.net, containing a variety of designs including some humorous ones of my own and some standard logos. You can see what’s on offer at http://direct.fridayfun.net - go on, check it out!

Why digital music is still overpriced

If you buy music from iTunes, it currently costs 99c a track in the US or 79p a track in the UK. Is this reasonable? I think not. Here’s why…
According to a report on the Harvard university website, a typical breakdown of costs for a retail music CD sold in the US is:
Retailer: 35%
Distributor: 9%
Record [...]

Another webcam image, this time one that makes Mike look like one of the aliens from “Cocoon”.

Make sure they know what you want

Today’s website falls somewhat into the “worthy but dull” category. However, with the local elections tomorrow, I thought it’s worth promoting. www.WriteToThem.com is a site that allows you to make contact with your local councillor, MP, regional assembly member or even a mamber of the House of Lords! After all, they’re only there because we want them [...]

Today’s website is SwarmSketch, an interesting experiment in online collaborative drawing. At least, that’s what it’s supposed to be. Looks mostly like a bunch of scribbles to me.
Check it out for yourself at www.swarmsketch.com
