Trying to read something dull about .org's
Can anyone explain to me what this actually means, so I don’t have to read it myself?

You can hear me on the radio!
If you fancy a laugh, and are prepared to hear me mumble my way through a radio interview, then click here and skip about ten or twelve minutes in to hear me interviewed about Secret Santa and about my, Cal’s and Denise’s efforts to help Santa this Secret Holiday Gift-Giving Robot Day.

I don't hate Jason Kottke…
Just to clarify – I’m completely not grumpy about people referencing seeing links via Jason rather than me. He’s a much more reliable source of industry-relevant and fun links than I am – plus he doesn’t get all morbid about his career stalling twice a week. Very cool discussion of the KPMG controversy over at Metafilter.

You know what's slightly annoying?
You know what’s slightly annoying? Having your inadequacies as a meme-spreader brought vigorously into perspective through comparison. Jason and I both link to the KPMG link e-mail. I do not know who does it first – it’s certainly a close-run thing. Anyway – that’s irrelevant. But almost everyone who subsequently linked to it cited Jason as their source. What’s that about? I think it’s because I write really boring crap every so often for months at a time. That’s got to be the reason…

On the b3ta cut-out-and-keep finger crab…
Created by the immortal Denise Wilton – graphic designer on Secret Santa – I hereby present B3ta’s cut-out-and-keep finger crab. And when you’ve made your own crab model, you can send pictures of yourself playing with it to The Crab Challenge.
Not for the squeamish: Bored of shagging actual men? Inflatable men no longer meeting your needs? From the people who brought you the female ‘real dolls’ now comes… the Male Realdoll… You have to wonder what kind of people would buy one of these. Warning: dodgy fake naked people designed for sex…

Is hyperlinking free?
Is hyperlinking free? Can you link to whomsoever you wish? According to KPMG, apparently not! Chris Raettig received this e-mail a couple of days ago, asking him to remove the link to their site as they didn’t have a ‘formal agreement’ that he could do so. The very basis of the World Wide Web is challenged by such legal claims – being asked not to link to someone else’s site compromises your ability to comment upon and reference online material. And if you can be legally challenged simply for linking to someone, then every link must be legally suspect – a ‘fact’ which could cripple the free flow of information as it would affect all sites – from news portals to search engines! So I’m asking you today, in the defence of online freedoms, to link to KPMG today. Say nothing libellous, but feel free to be snarky about them…
