- Creepy Girl In Hotel Hallway Gag
This is superb. And I'm pretty certain that if I turned a corner in a badly-lit hotel corridor, and saw a creepy small child standing there, I'd find another way to get where I was going as well. Start watching from about 45 seconds in.
- Terminally Geeky: use automatic login more securely
Need to set this up on my machines. It's a trivial enough thing, but the articles exactly right about why it's good – if I'm rebooting my machine for some reason, I can disenage from it until I'm 100% ready to come back, instead of having to reboot, wait, relogin and wait again.
- Skulls Direct – Skull Film Props, Human Skull Models, Gothic and Vampire Skulls and Bespoke Horror Film Props

- IE6 Countdown

- Steve Lieber And The Cellmate Test Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors
This made me laugh. Lads, if you are confused as to whether a compliment you are paying a lady is going to be taken as flattery, or if you're going to cross the line into creepy, her is a simple test that will save you more than 90% of the time: imagine yourself in jail, and imagine how you would feel if your hypothetical cellmate said exactly the same thing to you. Now do you see?
- His Face All Red
An absolute gem of a little horror comic. Serious, go read.

- The Trending by C.J. Lines | Feedbooks
C.J. Lines "Filth Kiss" was one of the more gleefully horrible (and genuinely disturbing) works of horror fiction I read the other year. He has made his short story "The Trending" available in a number of electronic formats, for absolutely nothing. It's a lovely little take on the classic Monkey's Paw stories, brought into the 21st century.
