You Gotta Laugh, Right?
Behold the alphabetised laughing-soundboard single-serving site, HaHaHaHa.
Apparently, there’s a secret combo to find. But you’ll be on the floor, frothing and twitching long before you figure that out.

3D Art? Screw That
Californian portrait artist and sculptor, Andrew Myers is a patient man.
He draws out a face and pre-drills 8,000 to 10,000 holes, by hand. As he drills in the screws, Myers doesn’t rely on any computer software to guide him, he figures it out as he goes along. “For me, I consider this a traditional sculpture and all my screws are at different depths,” he says.
One of the most challenging parts is getting rid of the flat drawing underneath because he then has to paint over each of the screw heads, individually, so that in the end, the sculpture looks like an actual portrait.

FB Users: Beware of ‘Like’ Button.
“After months of updates to its Like button, Facebook has released an update that fundamentally changes the button’s functionality to that of a Share button. Now after hitting the Like button, a full story with a headline, blurb and thumbnail will be posted to your profile wall. You’ll also be given an option to comment on the story link. Previously, only a link to the story would appear in the recent activity, often going unnoticed by users.
“Though users may now think twice about hitting the button, given how prominently it will appear on their walls and in their networks’ newsfeeds, it should ultimately increase traffic to publishers’ websites.”

Grubby Den Of Iniquity Torn a New One
“Is this a Mars Bar, a Kit- Kat or a Curly-Wurly?” asked Gavin Duffy with a self-satisfied smirk, believing he’d just come out with a catchphrase to rank with ‘Greed is Good”, rather than having trotted out the kind of banal, meaningless pile of shite that crass, loud-shirted businessmen used to lob at each other over swanky lunches in Guilbaud’s at the height of the Celtic Tiger.
Then we had Bobby Kerr comparing one unfortunate applicant as being “like the guy slicing cucumbers at a trade fair”… Look guys, we all get it that this is a TV show, and it needs to entertain. But it’s not the X Factor, where pathetically deluded wannabes are fair game to be ritually humiliated.
“…it shows up the lie in their lofty claims that the show is something vital in today’s collapsed economy. Far from being more relevant than ever, Dragons’ Den is just a slick showcase for smug, middle-aged bores to rub people’s noses in their own massively over-hyped success.”
