Wildcard, random extracts from my mind

Nevermind the Gap, Mind the Train!

My brother suggested this idea, and I agree with him totally. Why is it, that London Underground continue to warn us to “Mind the Gap”, when there are more important things to worry about, like the big, heavy, fast Train that is rapidly approaching!

I’m sure more people have walked into the side of Trains, than have fallen in the gap.

Food for thought.

As usual, you can buy this on a T-shirt, at my cafepress shop

Humourous solution to “Google Maps Street View” Privacy concerns

I’m a very private person, I don’t go out much, and I can’t stand having my picture taken, so you won’t be surprised to hear that I have some “issues” with Googles Street View feature.

The issue regarding Mary Kalin-Casey, and her cat Monty, has been discussed on several sites and blogs, and got me thinking…

The Google search engine, like most others, respects your “robots.txt” file. (A robots.txt is a file that you can place on your website, that tells search engines not to look at certain pages or sections.)

I’ve made a T-Shirt, and a Bumper Sticker, that displays the robots.txt file, as a sort of protest. It’s just a bit of fun, but if anyone wants one, they can check them out at my Cafepress Shop.

Woot!! First Post!

Just to get that old story out of the way, let make things clear, I have the first post, so all future attempts will be redundant.

But seriously, this blog is my first foray into the world of blogging, so I’m not really sure what direction it’s going to take. Join me if you car to find out.

Hope to see you soon,
