Seasons Greetings
by Niel | Blogging | December 19, 2009

Holiday Spices

Ah, sorry for the  lack of posting. The reasons: exams, holiday, servers and leprechauns. I’m greeting you and this blog until next year, where I’ll try and be like some blog monster. Hopefully, Simon, will join in some more posting attempts at posting. Wishful thinking? Maybe, but it’s the time for wishes and all things good right?

But before I sign off, have you ever wondered how funny it would be if spices could talk? They would revolt and sue the earth and major supermarket chains for using their name in vain. Seasoning will become a thing of the past, or still on your eggs and bacon, but this time of year will have to change to either “Seasoning(™) Greetings” or something completely different like Christmas.

Peace out and other similar gangsta greetings.

Please Don’t Break Up

Cute-Couple-R

I’ve been having quite a laugh at Please Don’t Break Up. It’s such a simple idea, but I’m cracking myself at the blog. The blog is extremely fresh, but let’s hope the blog continues. This one is classic. He also takes user submissions! So please, send in your couple pics.

New Theme Live!
by Niel | Blogging | September 10, 2009

In case you haven’t noticed, or you’re reading the blog via RSS, come hop on over to the site to check the new theme live. The theme was developed by moi (Niel). This is the first time I’ve worked with Wordpress or any kind of CSS for that matter. Last time I did web design was four years ago with HTML and tables. It was very much a learning experience, and I actually enjoyed it! If you have any feedback please let me know so I can improve on the site and your reading experience.

P.S. – Some big things up ahead! Keep coming back to Twindie!

Back!
by Twindie | Blogging | July 20, 2009

Ok, so I’m back. Niel that is. I was on vacation/studying in Beijing. It was great! For now, I’m going to pick up Twindie.net again. I was hoping my bro would do some posts, but at least he was almost there, with a draft of one post! Give him some applause!

I might not be able to post as much as I did in the vacation, but I’ll try my best to keep you distracted from studying/working/pretending to work or study.
Also Twindie.net has some great things in store in the coming few weeks. So stay tuned!

Silly Fights
by Niel | Blogging | June 25, 2009

perez_hilton8Nothing amused me more than the recent scuffle between Black Eye Pea Will.I.Am and gossip blogger Perez Hilton.

Sometimes celebrity gossip just makes me laught at it’s absurdity. It’s silly feuds that are so sensationlized that they can be seen as gross misconduct.

To those not sure of the story, here’s the Twindie.net version of it, along with choosing silly sides, based on silly things, cause this is exactly what this whole drama is: silly.

Ok, so here is the 401…

sun_apocalypse1500For all the Twitter geeks out there, you will most probably know of the Twitpocalypse. It trended like crazy for the past few days. It details the failure of Twitter applications due to a reach of an integer. It is similiar to the Y2K bug, and phenomenon. People were going crazy over nothing really. Yes, it was a concern for the developers and indeed some apps were affected, but c’mon the whole hype was just ridiculous. (more…)

MYHOMEI blogged about this gem quite a while back on my personal site, and it’s awesome to see it still going strong.

Just like the music business, however here you don’t get famous, rather infamous, for doing really nothing really good.

What makes a good sitcom?
by Niel | Blogging | June 12, 2009

SheldonWho doesn’t love sitcoms? It is guaranteed to make you laugh. However, why are certain sitcoms way more popular than others?

You can correct me here, please and share your opinion, but to me the good sitcoms are the ones with extremeties. For me series such as Big Bang Theory with the obsessive compulsive behaviours of Sheldon, the sycophantic Dwight Schrute from the The Office, the ridiculousness of the whole Arrested Development family (Tobias you know who you are!), the prudeness of Kevin in 30 Rock, are what makes a series unique.

Twitter is awesome, especially when your favourite funny people are also on it!

These are just some of my favourites that are on Twitter:

@eddieizzard – Our favourite transvestite! He even tweets while on stage.

@alandavies1 – Some know him from Jonathan Creek, but I know him as a hilarious permanent panellist from QI. Which brings us to our next witty genius.
