I wasn't able to do this yesterday. Too many hours of fun, sun, and brandy at the beach done me in. The only thing I was able to finish before the end of the day was my final SEO article. Anything else was too much work without rest and sleep. I hadn't planned on getting hammered, but I did. I didn't get burnt, though, because I only spent about 30 minutes in the water. I played volleyball with my one good arm (the left one and I'm right-handed) and couldn't perform worth a damn. It didn't help that I was PUI (playing under the influence). The wife, the son, and I all went as guests of a relative celebrating her 60th birthday. I think maybe next time I should stay home!

MQ at A Homemaker's Diary posted a note about her husband's upcoming birthday party and some pictures of pirate costumes she would like, but unavailable where she is. Kudos just for the pictures on this one.

Chen at A Journey Called LIFE… introduced us to a new medical procedure called "Transvaginal Cholecystecytomy". That's a procedure I'll never have to worry about!

Ed at A Peculiar Blog posted a story about Windows Vista being a new target of malware programmers. After reading Another Reason To Ditch Vista and now this, I'm convinced Vista is an upgrade I'm not interested in at all.

Jag at E-MoneyMarketing posted 17 of the WordPress plugins that he thinks beefs up a WordPress blog in the best ways. Check them out.

Aaron at Aaron Roselo posted a link and note about a Pinoy CSS showcase website. The sites are showcased for the design, not the software used, whether it's WordPress or any other. Some of the themes may even give you ideas about making your own.

Suicidalsam at Addicted to Sports shared a personal story about drug addiction. This isn't the first story he's posted about it, so dig deeper to find out more.

Matt at Affiliate Programs and Internet Scams posted his review of "Adsmaker", yet another "get paid to read email" service. He's right on the money with this one and most of the GPTRE programs. I was the member of one where I must have read thousands of email ads in a 5-year span and finally received a paltry check of just over $11.00. They might not be scams, but they're not worth wasting valuable time for.

Adam at ah ok lah - blogosphere and life told the first part of his story about why people need breakdown coverage for the car (not all insurance companies lump it in with the rates).

Gahsoon at Ah Boon.Net ?? posted an article on bullfighting and included some humorous pictures. A horn in the rear is NO laughing matter even if it does make me snicker at the sight of it.

Ahmad at SapphireNight posted pictures of his fairly newborn twin sons. Babies are always nice to look at and you can tell he's proud of his new sons.

Ajay at Ajay - On the Road called Life!, who happens to be the author of the "Snap Preview Anywhere" WordPress plugin, now called the Snap Shots plugin, wrote about his 500 downloads in 3 days.

Randa Clay, a guest blogger at Alister Cameron // Blogologist converted the book, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, into a blog version called "7 Habits of Highly Effective Bloggers". Even though I don't have niche, I pretty much follow all 7. I try to focus on entertainment, of all kinds, but helping others is a higher priority for me.

Aditya at All Weird Things posted a video of a cat getting ready to attack a goldfish. Don't read it. Watch the video. Funny stuff! There's a lot more on the front page that can tickle your funny bone than I can shake a stick at.

Gregg at Amateur Geek posted a very good reason to recheck your links before posting an article that you started on a previous day. He still made out in the end.

Catriona at Ami-chan.net talks and argues with inaminate objects. She should see some of the objects I swear at every day!
