Happy New Year! YouTube had a storming year in 2007, so congratulations to all the team on their success. After doing a couple of searches over New Year I noticed YouTube had published a list of the most watched videos on their blog. The top ten makes interesting viewing, and had a couple of my […]
I’ve been meaning to blog about Blackle for months, and finally with a bit of free time (and jet lag) I finally can. Blackle was brought to my attention when I was travelling round London and a couple of guys on the tube were talking about an “energy saving search engine“. At first I tried […]
Nice bit of piggyback marketing from Wonderbra. My colleague told me about this advert, and I had to blog about it……for obvious reasons! My original post about the Cadbury Gorilla advert back in September is fairly lengthy, but I don’t need to say much about the Wonderbra version. Enjoy!

Simon’s Jamjar went live on 1st January 2006 and over the course of the last 18 months my unique visitor levels have been pretty good. I try to write topical and humourous blog posts that are succinct with recent events or news. On average I receive around 20 unique visitors per day – not bad […]
Finally time to relax. The week just gone is possibly the busiest week I’ve ever had – spanning work, sport, travel and (a little) drinking. Here’s how my week panned out, starting from Monday; Monday 0730 hours – wake up, shower, head to work 1830 hours – finish work and head for football training 2100 […]
