The 7 Best Havaiana Flip Flops Designs
Men in flip flops is never a good look, but it’s hot so who cares? If you’re gonna wear them you should make sure you’re at least wearing Havaiana FFs, they look the best and they’re Brazillian too. By the way they’re pronounced habeeyana.
The flip flop for the safari type. Those zebras won’t spot you in these!
The pimp’s flip flop, see how the sun glints off those silver straps.
Like having Kermit on your feet, mmm, lime.
These are supposed to be the surf option, but better suited to pair with camo shorts if you ask me.
For those who like to look like a cyberman, tasteful silver.
The easiest way to strike up a conversation with a Brazilian has got to be while you’re wearing a pair of these. Have you seen those Brazilian chicks?
If Batman the Dark Knight wore flip flops, these are they. You can even get a pair with the Batman logo on if you’re about 12 years old.
Somali Pirate Blog - The New Piratebay!
Aharrr, me hearties. Pirates are all the rage at the moment, especially Somali ones. Everyone knows they’re the best kind since, like, ever. That’s why I’ve been following their exploits on their official Somali pirate blog. These guys are absolutely hilarious, their posts boast about their guns, their hijackings and even that Daft Punk is playing at their house, cos they’re so rich they’ve hired them for a shin dig.
This is probably the best thing on the internet right now! Check it out.

NLP… What’s that all about?
I’ve been reading about this NLP thing. Dunno if you’ve come across it? It’s basically like a cross between self hypnotism and psychology to help you make changes to your behaviour and it’s a concept that seems to be catching on at the moment, so I thought it was a good idea to look into it.
Having finished the first book of the three I’ve bought I can say that there’s a lot of practical stuff in there, but there’s also quite a bit of psychobabble. The great get out clause for NLP is that if something isn’t working for you, then they advise you to just try a different approach. And keep on trying until you find something that works for you. Of course that means that if it doesn’t work for you ever you just haven’t tried hard enough!
There are two useful techniques that I’ve gleaned from my first quick read and they are, firstly, anchoring, which is a way of getting into a mindset really quickly and the other is an idea called modelling. Read the rest of this entry »
Unburying the Digg API
Getting your site on the home page of Digg has got to be one of the top 10 things to do to get massive amounts of traffic to your site. With that in mind I read with interest an article that was tweeted by @Hitwise_UK about how the Telegraph is getting more referrals in the UK from Digg.com than even the BBC.
The Telegraph have integrated their site with a widget that uses the Digg API to display their recent popular and upcoming articles and placed the widget prominently. Although they had previously been out dugg by the BBC and DailyMail sites, since the widget had been launched their share of UK Digg traffic has risen and risen.

The Album Cover Is Dead?
In today’s Independent on Sunday legendary album cover designed Peter Saville has pronounced that album art “is dead.”
Saville is famous for the iconic artwork of New Order and Joy Division who he worked with extensively, he has also designed album covers for Pulp, Suede and Roxy Music.
“We have a social disaster on our hands,” he said, speaking from his studio this weekend, “The Things that pop music was there to do for us have all been done… there’s nothing to rail against now.
The best way to shave your head - HeadBlade
I recently stumbled on this, a razor especially designed for shaving your head. Being a head shaver myself I thought it would be apt to share this on here. The HeadBlade is apparrently used by top male models and by the looks of the HeadBlade website a lot of wrestlers.
Instead of scratching your head with a razor every morning, HeadBlade users can roll this thing back and forth on their head like a mini-lawnmower. Apparently this reduces the time it takes to shave your head and converts are swearing by it.
The next time I nick my head with my trimmers I might be ordering one of these things, or maybe I’ll get one for chrimbo?!
Hi I’m Andy Day
Hi, welcome to my blog. Hopefully it will get a lot more interesting than it is right now! Recently I’ve been writing a lot more articles, because I’m helping out setting up a new website called TaleTela an R&B and hip hop news and gossip site. It’s got me back in the mood to write so hopefully that renewned authorial spirit will encourage me to post on here regularly.
I’m planning on posting about everything and anything that I find that’s cool. The sort of things I’m interested in are music, web development, fashion, architecture, IT, gadgets and business.
