And I though the Western Australian Government Railways were bad (or TransWA or what ever they call themselves this week), check this one out: British Rail patented a Thermonuclear powered flying saucer!

We love you Dave, don’t go.
The day Dave Winer quits blogging though will be the top of the blogging market in terms of growth, because if and when Dave stops so will the growth in blogging because one of the plugs and the bottom of the blogosphere would have been pulled. Sure, he’s a grumpy old bastard at times, self absorbed….but you know, having him there is like a constant to many people in the blogosphere, and if he goes there will be a big hole.
Results here. Congrats to Darren at Problogger for taking out an award. Lobbylu won Australia’s best blog for about the 5000th year running….yawn, but the real upset this year is the lack of the big blog network sites on the winners list. From what I can see I can’t see a Weblogs Inc., site on it, and only Wonkette from Gawker Media…
Interesting article here. I love this quote:
“Indeed, today’s more pressing question isn’t whether you can get a job if you blog, but, rather, whether you can get a job without a blog.”

Neville Hobson makes an interesting point:
“But there?ɬ¢?¢‚Äö¬¨?¢‚Äû¬¢s one significant statistic we can?ɬ¢?¢‚Äö¬¨?¢‚Äû¬¢t yet determine – how many people actually listen to each show. We also have a link on each show notes post where you can click and listen there and then rather than download the MP3 file. And as Shel and I cross-post each show?ɬ¢?¢‚Äö¬¨?¢‚Äû¬¢s show notes to our own respective blogs, that?ɬ¢?¢‚Äö¬¨?¢‚Äû¬¢s three different places where you can click-and-listen. No way to measure that, as far as I know. This is a problem every podcaster has. Downloads of the MP3s is one thing. Who listens, how many listeners there are and where they are, is another. Yet that?ɬ¢?¢‚Äö¬¨?¢‚Äû¬¢s the most important statistic of all to aid you in creating and tailoring the content in your show to your listener demographic.”
The reverse could also be true. More than one person could list to a download as well.

Stellar Browse. Again, it was cheap 🙂 I need to ban myself from visiting either Sitepoint or eBay for a while, however I’m hoping to learn a bit about the scripts behind it by buying a site already set up, as I did with Godly Reminders.
Noticed this site via a submission to Godlyreminders:

I suppose it’s similar to One Share. Interesting idea, I wonder how legit it is though?
