I’ve added a Digg This feature to slickhouse.com today! It will allow you to Digg any posts made by me, on slickhouse.com

If you’re the first to Digg the post, then you will be asked to provide a brief summary and title for the article, prior to submitting it. If the post has already been Dugg then when you click on Digg It it’ll add another Digg to the stack.

If you’re confused then read How Digg Works.

You’ll need to register in order to Digg, but it’s a short process and very worthwhile - as you can start Digging straight away. Who knows, maybe in a few months you’ll have reached Australia?

I’ve been using Digg for a few months now - and you can check out my profile on Digg here.

I recently found an article floating around on Digg about Memjet’s new printers. These bad boys can output colour documents at 60ppm (pages per minute) and colour photos at 30ppm - that’s a colour document every second/colour photo every 2 seconds. Incredible.

You can view a video showing their prototype Label, A4, Photo and Wide-Format printers, along with information about the technology behind it all.

This is good news for us consumers, as it’ll scare the large printer manufacturers into rethinking their pricing - currently printers are sold at rock-bottom prices, but the ink is far more expensive, allowing them to claw back their money.

Visit the Memjet website to see the video or read this article for more information.

If they are to be $200 (or the equivalent), then I’ll be replacing my Epson All-in-one ASAP.

I stumbled across a very interesting site this afternoon - ventanger.com

Put simply, it’s a place for you to vent your anger - get something off your chest - relieve some stress.

I’ve put a vent on there which will probably take days for people to discover, but at least when they do, they can share in my vented anger. Have a go yourself - it actually helps!

Bored? Got Photoshop (or similar)?

Then feel free to create a header image for use on slickhouse.com!

You can download a .psd template to get you started, or create an image from scratch - that’s 760×150 (WxH) in size.

Then send your header image to webmaster[@]slickhouse.com and I’ll put it live on slickhouse.com! Simple really.

You could also add your name/alias in small print to identify yours from mine.

So get editing!

I stumbled across a very interesting article on digg.com - that highlights one of the questions on McDonalds‘ Make up your own mind website. For those of you who dislike clicking through links to find the information, have a look at this:

It’s hilarious that McDonalds has this FAQ on their site - and they’ve answered it! It’s put me off milkshakes from there now, but I’ll probably forget about it in the near future, as after all - it’s an urban myth according to them.

If you want to see it for yourself, visit their Make up your own mind site and search for milkshake - it’s near the bottom.
