Technorati Ranking

I don’t quite understand how all this works but last time I checked this blog on Technorati its ‘authority’ was 19 and it was ranked about 400,000.
Having just checked now HERE I find the said authority is 432 and the ranking is 11,488. Now considering that there are 853,799 blogs listed on Technorati that isn’t [...]

200,000

Sometime today this obscure outpost of the internet will welcome its 200,000th visitor since January 2008 according to the WordPress counter in the right hand column.

I knew that my friend The Tomahawk Kid would love this poster so I phoned him to tell him that HD had posted it. “Is it black and white with Alex looking at Zal with Chris [...]

Island Sports

Thanks to my correspondent Armin for this. Armin runs the Islay Blog which is a fine and interesting place to visit. The following is a video he posted of mountain boarding on Islay. Never heard of mountain boarding? why it’s a small four wheeled barrow with a person on board being towed by a quad [...]

Nepal-Michael Greenwell

Michael’s Blog is always an interesting and thought provoking read. In 2003 Michael worked for a while as a volunteer in Nepal and he has written a short book about his experiences there.
It is available free for download at the above link (at the top of the right hand column). Most of it is in [...]
