I once wrote two posts saying that people are mistaking the context (location) for the end game and that location is (also) a key context, but most people don't know this. Two years or so after I wrote those posts, the concept of location based mobile services and location based apps shows no sign of dying off. I see lots of new location based apps and whilst they're almost always nice and glossy, not that many of them really grab you as a neat and innovative idea. But every so often, one does come along which makes you slap your forehead, like the scientists in the 80's ads for Tefal, and mutter under your breath ... that's so obvious, why didn't I think of that?

This week's selection of what caught my eye on the interwebs:

• After managing to acquire garygale.com I put up a personal site on the domain and cut down the subdomain proliferation that vicchi.org had acquired over the years, retiring blog.vicchi.org and where.vicchi.org amongst others.
• There's no accounting for taste it seems and some people think it's cute to have a small plastic dog humping the USB port of your laptop.
• Flavoured vodka; I can understand lemon, orange, vanilla and even chilli versions but bacon flavoured vodka?
• Possibly the best sign ever; "unattended children will be fed espresso and given a puppy".
• In order to define recursion we must first define recursion; Google demonstrates the principle of recursion by offering to look up recursion when searching for recursion.
• Twitter corrected follower counts by deleting spammer's accounts; I lost 100 followers overnight and the twitter-sphere howled in anguish.
