Some random TGIF blogging

First up: happy birthday to the man with the broken blog. Ian, hope you have a wicked one. Looking forward to getting raucously plastered together sometime soon.I knew there had to be a reason for the box of Monopoly, "the best-selling board game in the world", in our flat: Monopoly Board Pub Crawl. OBJECTIVE: Consume an alcoholic drink at each real location that appears on the Monopoly board (London Edition) in a single day.
UPDATE: print your own Monopoly money.

I've uploaded some more photos over at digicam.coza: 03.09.22 - notting hill gate station - one of my favourite (aesthetically speaking) underground stations so far.
Gaby has uploaded a ton of great photos from her recent adventures through Europe. My 10 favourites: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 - which have inspired me to get my ass into gear and do some hardcore backpacking in the near future.

matthewgood.net is now nationofcool.com, and features some nice updates including free mp3 downloads: acoustic versions of Near Fantastica and Lullaby for the New World Order, soundtrack/instrumental version of Weapon and live version of Avalanche.

Sarcasm is just another service I offer:

"Welcome to the BAT.ZA web site. We pride ourselves that we're South Africa's largest cigarette manufacturer, but are unfortunately so ignorant and technologically backward, that we've decided to deny you access to our site based on your browser - which we've so cleverly identified using obsolete detection scripts from the early 90's. Thanks for visiting, now kindly fuck off.

(P.S. If you do try visit our website in our of the browsers we have forced you to use, you may like to try contact us with some site feedback. Please be warned though that our contact form does not work. It alerts blank messages when you hit the 'Submit' button.)"

And lastly, I've improved on my blog accessibility by defining keyboard shortcuts using the accesskey attribute in my menu links (see underlined character) and search form. On Windows/Linux, you can press ALT + an access key; on Macintosh, you can press Control + an access key. You might need to refresh this page first if my stylesheet is already cached.
