Chinese tea sampler pack now on sale

Chinese tea sampler pack now on sale My good friend Chris who runs the Min River Tea Farm has this week launched a new product: Sampler Pack Chinese tea

This is brilliant because if you, like me, love some good green teas but don't want to buy a whole bag yet, then get a cute little sampler and decide which of his teas you like the most. Or, for £9 you can buy a couple of these cute little tubs and give away as gifts. That's what I'm going to do.

At the moment you have to be in Europe to be able to order these (delivery done by Amazon UK) but if you're outside of Europe ping them and ask if something can be arrange.

Google teething problems still with duplicated content

Google teething problems still with duplicated content Since Google doesn't really have a bug tracker where I can report bugs I blog about it instead.

Here's a typical example that Google's strife to get rid of duplicate content still needs some work. About 10 different mailing list archive sites have indexed the same email thread. Not very helpful.

I just ordered tea from the Min River Tea Farm

I just ordered tea from the Min River Tea Farm I just ordered myself one bag of Jasmine Pearls from The Min River Tea Farm that my friend Chris has recently launched.

As soon as I get my tea I'm going to take a picture of myself drinking it and send in my pic so that £1 gets donated, by Chris, to the Mind UK charity.

If you live in the UK and love genuine sourced Chinese teas do check it out. The ordering process is lovingly easy and safe. Although I'm an Earl Grey fan myself, I love having some good jasmine tea available at home without having to worry about the caffeine in Earl Grey tea keeping me awake.

Best of luck to Chris and his new site! Please take the time to browse and read about his teas. If you're outside the UK and you want a bag, just send him and email.

Worst Flash site of the year 2010

Worst Flash site of the year 2010 If you ever wonder, how do I make a website that is just wrong on every front: Turn up your volume and tune into http://industrialpainter.com/ Oh yeaaaahhh...

It's got it all.

  • completely irrelevant background music
  • epileptic flashing animations
  • uber-geeky loading counters showing you how many kilobytes you've downloaded
  • new Flash file for each annoying page
  • a counter
  • blurred mugshots
  • telling you want day it is, what date it is and what time it is in three completely different locations on the screen
  • marquee text scrolling by
  • being Flash

I just discovered wikiHow

I just discovered wikiHow I can't believe I haven't seen this before. wikiHow is a great site. Just look at this article about how to spice up waffles for example.

Interestingly though, gone are the days of surfing. People don't take what's offered, they take what the search for. However, with wikiHow I'm eager to pop back in, throw a few articles on my Instapaper and then read them later on my Kindle.

Now I'm going to read about How to Be a Slacker Mom. Very relevant.
