My Latest Favourite Bookmarks – Online Cool Stuff! (10/03/2010)
March 10, 2010
Here’s some of the cool webpages and online stuff that I’ve found whilst roaming around the Internet recently and decided to add them to my online favourite bookmarks…
- Wayne unwillingly goes wireless for the weekend – An interesting blog post about what happens if you have an online business and you lose your landline broadband internet access…this reminds me I really need to figure out a better back up other than going to the local cafe to use their free wifi!
- Apple Continues Its Crackdown On the iPhone App Store – It looks like Apple’s wielding its mighty axe again and removing apps from its App Store that it had previously approved, nothing like moving the goalposts eh? I’m guessing that removing these free website content apps is in preparation for the Kindle ebook reader replacement, the iPad? The less free options to compete with the iPad’s paid-only content the better? Or am I just being to cynical about this move?
Strange, Weird and Funny Search Phrases (Feb 2010)
February 25, 2010
When you have a website and you start receiving search engine traffic, it can sometimes be rather surprising or even funny to look at some of the search phrases people are using to arrive at your site, quite often they must leave disappointed as the page they end up looking at can be quite removed from what they were clearly looking for!
With that in mind, I recently saw a blog post over at Piggynap in which Zoe showed us some of the best search terms her site in the last month, so I thought I’d do a similar thing here on my blog showing some of the strange, weird and funny search phrases people have used on our sites in the last month, so here they are and which pages they sent people to!…

February 4, 2010
We recently saw Steve Jobs unveiling the much rumoured and long awaited Apple tablet device which has been announced as the iPad – and that’s just where the opinions start. Some people think that the iPad name makes sense, keeps in line with the iPod branding, but leaves it open to lots of different uses, whilst others think it’s now a bland name and uninspiring.
This tablet device will come in mobile broadband internet and Wifi-only versions with different amounts of storage capacities, all of which will have an impressive battery-life of around 10 hours, including while browsing the web or playing HD video, so this could well replace many people’s need for a netbook computer, especially when travelling or sat on the sofa at home.

Halfords – Tent Voucher Code (15% off)
July 12, 2009
Now I’ll be honest straight off here, I’m writing about a Halfords tent voucher code to get 15% off – I’m not a big camping fan, in fact I think it would probably take having a something like the recently unveiled Orange Solar Tent Concept to get me more in the mood to spend the night in the great outdoors so to speak.

Its been around 9 months since the introduction of Google Chrome browser – and it looks like Google is about to get a new addition to the ‘Chrome’ range, in the form of a full operating system. Google Chrome OS, an open source lightweight operating system is designed to be a natural extension of Google Chrome built with the web in mind.
JJ Abrams And ‘The Mystery Box’
April 26, 2009
JJ Abrams has created some great mysterious TV shows and movies such as Lost and Cloverfield and in this talk/presentation he made at TED a couple of years ago he explains the importance of mystery and the fact it can be found in things without being that overly obvious (eg. Star Wars).
I think this talk says a lot about him as a person and the importance to create mystery in life and the fact that sometimes it is more important to maintain that mystery rather than have a little bit of knowledge which you’d ultimately be the poorer for.
Take a look at this video of his talk and perhaps re-discover the importance of mystery in your life?

April 24, 2009
Oh yes! When I saw that somebody arrived here on my personal website from searching on Google for the phrase “simon barker naked” – well it kind of gets your attention while checking your website statistics!
You can see from the image below that I’m obivously caring some weight, well when I say weight I’m obviously talking about the google ranking variety and not in the physical sense – I’d like to think I’m not in too bad a shape in that sense neither, but there won’t be any nude pictures of this Simon Barker appearing here anytime soon that’s for sure – sorry to disappoint!
