American Dad

My American Dad Season 1 DVD's arrived today from Amazon. Absolutely brilliant. Watched the Pilot episode tonight and it was excellent. I've only seen random episodes before.

Another weird gadget...

Some Hong Kong based company is selling these pill shaped usb flash drives. What will they think of next??

16 ways to drive traffic to your blog

Was doing some research during my lunch hour today on increasing traffic to your blog and came across this site which featured an article about driving traffic to your blog.

It's worth a read. Some of the points are obvious but others to me were well worth knowing.

Microsoft unveil 'Surface'

Microsoft have been working on this top secret gadget for a number of years now and finally unveiled Microsoft Surface yesterday.

It's looks like a coffee table styled computer that uses the table top to display a high-resolution desktop image. The technical term for this sort of stuff is 'surface computing'.

Whilst it looks really clever I'm not sure if it'll catch on long-term. Who knows.

badboyhouse.co.uk downtime

Unfortunately the web forwarding service at my host 123-reg has been down for most of the day which has resulted in www.badboyhouse.co.uk getting a page cannot be displayed error.

www.badboyhouse.blogspot.com (where my domain forwards to) remains unaffected.

Sorry for any inconvenience if you tried to view the site whilst it was down.

If anyone's got any ideas as an alternative to web forwarding let me know. I'm all ears.

At the minute I dont pay for hosting with 123-reg - I just have the domain registered with them and web forwarding enable to point to my blog.

Colin McRae Dirt and Dead Rising

Whilst the graphics in Dirt are some of the best I've seen on the 360 it doesnt work at all well with the Microsoft wireless steering wheel - which is a real shame. With a regular 360 controller it's fine. They might issue a patch to make it better but it's not for me at the minute.

Roll on Forza 2!

I also picked up Dead Rising at the weekend. Excellent game and very very gory/gruesome. If you like the chainsaw kills in Gears Of War you'll love Dead Rising. It's a tough game especially with the way that you save your progress but well worth picking up.
