- Rebel without a threat End result? I'm the 'safe bad boy' — or, as I titled this post, the 'rebel without a threat.' Enough of an oddball dark side to catch someone's interest, but still quite able to make a good impression on the folks when I come by to meet the family. ➡

- Skip, skip, skip to iLoo! In time for the summer festival season, MSN is in the process of converting a portable loo to create a unique experience for surfers looking for an alternative to the bog-standard festival loo experience. Users will be able to sit down, undock a wireless keyboard and conveniently access the first ever WWW.C. ➡
- Happy Birthday Royce! As he's a whole whopping two days younger than me, today is his 30th. Happy Birthday, Royce! ➡
