They are fun though, just don’t run your life by them! :grin:

Post Code Power

Discover how different postcodes live, starting with your own. Brought to you by News Limited Community Newspapers, Postcode Power shows you just how well community newspapers know different postcodes and how you can use that knowledge to target any audience more effectively.

How awesome.  Not a lot of variation between suburbs, but some of them are very telling and closely match my experiences.

Given that I normally only have 1 or 2 methods in common with a particular individual, it’s redundant to ask them to Skype/MSN/GoogleTalk/Jabber/Gizmo/Yahoo/ICQ/etc me. And so, I’m throwing my vote to Tristan‘s proposed usage of the word bing:

Bing!

Synonymous with “instant message”.

verb: “Bing me!”
noun: “I got a bing from Dennis…”

I find the onomatopoeia of it elegant, and genericly non-technical for all those poor stiffs who can’t even open milk cartons (Honestly, is “Open other side” that confusing?!).

In conclusion: If you see me online, bing me! :wink:

Tonights form: Another silly “What am I?” meme … now, don’t be offended – I’ve just filled it out myself :lol:

What Video Game Character Are You? I am Jetpac Man. I am Jetpac Man
I love the outdoors; the sense of freedom, of adventure. I love the sensation of free-fall, and would parachute and bungee jump on a moment’s notice. I know where I want to be, and I strive to get there, making great effort to collect what I need. I let nothing stand in my way. What Video Game Character Are You?

Yes, I’m still vaguely working on my ‘downfall of society’ piece, but I run hot & cold on it depending on how many idiots I encounter daily – today must have been a reasonably good day as I don’t really feel the need to rant and vent tonight.

My plan appears to be: release Meme content slower than Daniel and maybe I’ll catch up? Hmm.

Fridge. Usual crap stuck on with magnets.

I’m not game to expose the surrounding area :D

Apparently it’s something an “average Australian” does these days. :D

I’m a bit behind, but I’ll start with the desk – since I’m sitting at it.

Messy desk, messy mind? Quite Probably...

I’ll get to the rest sometime soon…

If nothing else, meme’s can give you stuff to blog about when you couldn’t be bothered actually organising your own thoughs into a form that is coherent enough for others to understand, or even read.
