Awesome Sand Hotel a world first

Awesome Sand Hotel a world first. Built by Weymouth, Dorsets sand man Mark Anderson this is a great feat of sand engineering. Perhaps it should become a semi-permanent fixture...

tagcow review and privacy warning


Tag Cow Privacy Warning


I use Tag Cow to autometatag my flickr photos for FREE, which is nice... . Sometimes a bit sketchy but handy, see below...
Tag Cow uses Mechanical Turk and state that ALL photos will be visible to tagging "resources". Mechanical Turk uses A.A.I, artificial artificial intelligence, i.e. people. You see where this is heading....

Just so you know,...

my mates are going to laugh when I tell them my photos are autometatagged by aai.... westside!

Design on a Dime Host Gets XXXtreme Makeover

While the network continues to regularly air episodes featuring former host Lee Snijders, we've learned the guy who helped homeowners for more than six years is still giving advice to couples -- but purely of the girl-on-girl variety nowadays.
Snijders used the cash he raked in from "DoaD" and his stint as a Disney Imagineer to start his own porn company with porn star girlfriend Jett Angel. You can even catch Lee in several of the reality-style skin flicks manning the camera (or so we've heard).

Weymouth Carnival - Mobility team

In an effort to have a good time and raise some much needed awareness for those of us with mobility issues, (like why aren't there double yellows in front of dropcurbs?) I thought I'd enter the carnival...

I don't know yet if anyone else in a mobility scooter or wheelchair is planning to? I've had four volunteers so far, please let anyone you know who might be interested know. I was thinking an aquatic theme?

There's not long enough for the giant, animated puppets I had in mind this year, though apparently wheelchairs and scooters make excellent bases for these...

Please email me if you or someone you know is interested

Google trends (US) Current no.1 Poveglia (peaked 5hours ago)

When I get the chance I'm going to check out the yanks news and try and work out why some things peak... You'd think this would be a halloween one...

The Spookiest Places - Forbes.com
Italy is full of spooky places, from the cursed Abbey of Lucedio--where, rumors say, the monks became devil worshippers beginning in the 1600s--to the catacombs of Rome. One place--Poveglia Island near Venice--is so scary that no tourists are allowed to step foot on it.

When the plague hit Italy in 1576, thousands of dead bodies and the still living victims were dumped on the island to be buried or left to rot. Centuries later, a hospital was built by a doctor who tortured patients there. The hospital, his office, a church and the crematorium still stand, but no tourists are permitted on the island at any time.
