A list from a list of lists??? (image: web20_awards)Ah, yes. Awards season abounds…and why should the interwebthing be any different. As downloadsquad so eloquently puts it:

File this under “somewhat suspicious.” SEOmoz, a Seattle-based engine optimization company, has their Web 2.0 award winners available.I say it’s
somewhat suspicious because 1) who cares what SEOmoz thinks, and 2) there’s no year associated with the awards. Clearly
these aren’t from 1998, but even going to nominate next year’s candidates doesn’t give you a year. Maybe this is all a
ruse, designed to increase traffic, add , and possibly boost their engine rankings? Nah, couldn’t be.

And in that light, here’s MY list of apps, , etc from Their list…consider these bradgrier.net approved ;-) Read more

Filed Under Uncategorized | Comments Off


Ancient Internet History Rediscovered... (image: bradblog)Yep, an early part of history has been rediscovered recently: early blog postings from my first blog — of course — have recently come to light courtesy of the Internet Archive.

Some are cool, some are drivel. I’ll be the ones over to this blog, the rest can languish in the archive ;-)

Modding my Xbox…

[ This item originated at my previous (now defunct) blog .info -- copy retrieved from the Internet Archive]

A while ago I managed to lay my hands on a refurbished Xbox for a fairly reasonable price. Great, methinks. A game console and a DVD player, all rolled into one. And hey, it’ll even play from the built in hard drive too¦ but not stock from the factory. No, my , you have to void the Microsoft warranty and mess with the happy that lies buried within your game console. Once you do that, you then have unlocked the power of your Xbox, and created a Monster¦here’s how I did mine¦ Read more

Google Earth Impact Crater — here’s mine!

Filed Under Uncategorized | Comments Off


Google Earth Impact Crater -- heres mine! (image: crater2_thumb)So I saw this post on BoingBoing about an article describing using Google Earth to discover ancient impact craters — and remembered a post I made on a previous blog (now lost to history) about doing just that with Maps (satellite view).

So, here’s where this was made in GE:

The location is at:
N 59 08 12.29
W 115 12 40.07

Which puts it in the northwest corner of .

I checked the University of Brunswick Earth Impact Database — nada.

…so, is it real, or something else?

A first time poster at the Google Earth Community posted a placemark to this incredible sight of a fully restored Lancaster Bomber Google Earth Bomber Found... (image: gelogoicon) which just happened to be flying just about over his house (which is why he found it).
