There should be a law against this…

Dear Tony Blair,

Please pass a new law banning the creation of websites such as Yetisports.org

The simple reason is that the use of such sites leads to:

  1. Crankiness when you lose
  2. Excessive use of the mouse button
  3. Inability to concentrate on normal life
  4. A strange urge to have “just one more go”

and that’s just for starters…

These types of games are more addictive than crack and if you think that de-classifying cannabis was a good way to reduce addictions to harmful substances then this should fit nicely into your plans…

Thank you,

Phil “My finger hurts” Williams

Time to get fit..

Been visiting Cameron Caine for a while now. The owner, Cameron Caine amazingly enough, has developed a unique and highly original way to get and keep fit.

In a nutshell he has taken the idea of exercise and turned it on it’s head creating an area where you can actually enjoy throwing lumps of metal about and doing generally exhausting things. Personally it’s wearing me out just reading the damn thing but he has managed to achieve what very few people do these days and that’s that he has created something original.

Take another example. The Million Dollar Home Page created by Alex Tew. Now Alex first popped up on the Shell Livewire forums, where I am a regular poster, some months ago and asked everyone what they thought of his idea. I said it was genius and I’m glad to still say that as he amassed an obscene amount of cash in a few short months.

Sadly, also within a few months, the idea has been copied to hell and I’ve yet to come across a single site that even remotely measures up to the original. The key is be original and creative, don’t be lame and just become a follower…

Spammers

Just a word of warning if you are a spammer or a spam bot reading this blog and are thinking of posting your crummy link to various medications that would improve the quality of my sex life or offering me the opportunity to grow hair where there really shouldn’t be…

  1. I will ban you and your IP permanently from my servers (yes I do own them)
  2. You will then be tied hog style to an eight foot length of bamboo
  3. “Show me the way to Amarillo” will then be played at ear bleeding volume whilst you have red hot needles inserted through both eyeballs
  4. I’ll turn up on your doorstep armed with enough pizzas to feed an entire family for a year and several skips ready to take away your wordly possessions including your well thumbed copy of “1,000 ways to really p**s people off”

Harsh? Probably…

OK I’ll drop that damn song from the list… Better?

Oh God, it’s back…

After the adventurous exploits of some tiny minded individuals who were obviously not nursed enough by their mothers and quite possibly dropped on their heads as babies, the old blog died a very unhappy (and probably deserved) death. I say deserved because if I was honest about it, I wasn’t really paying it any attention.

It was like a New Years resolution, good idea at the the time and usually lasts until the 2nd January…

So why on earth start over? Well a couple of reasons really. I’ve been meaning to register the domain www.openmindblog.com and it’s UK cousin for some time for another one of those “Open Mind” ideas that pop into my brain occasionally for a ColdFusion powered blogging service similar to Blogger but CF based.

It will most likely take years to develop like all the other 30 odd domains I have registered but hell, at least the idea is there…

Still not to worry, enjoy the blog and I promise to try and update it more than once a month…
