Embedded Spinning Globe Doesn't Make a Watch Worth $550,000 [Expensive Crap]
I'm no watch expert, but I'm pretty sure there's no amount of doodaddery in the world that would make a watch worth over half a million dollars. But hey, that didn't stop the Hysek Colosso from...

Question: What Will You Not Blog About?
In What Will You Not Blog About? on the Blog Herald, I asked readers to tell me what line they will not cross when it comes to blog content. What will you NOT blog about. The responses have been very interesting. A few bloggers take a no-holds-barred approach, blogging on everything and anything they want. However, [...]

A few bloggers take a no-holds-barred approach, blogging on everything and anything they want. However, even they have lines they will draw. Jeremy Steele admitted that he won’t report on conspiracies, other than poking fun at them.
Paul of the Opera Blog admitted that he avoids the negative:
I will generally avoid writing negative reviews about performances or recordings. I’ve only made one exception to this rule over the years. I figure there’s no point in discussing how bad something is, especially when there’s so much good stuff out there. I’d rather save my writing effort for worthwhile projects and simply ignore the crappy ones.
Chris Garrett agreed. “I would rather be a positive than destructive influence, like a ‘do no harm’ thing.” Many agreed with his Star Trek Prime Directive philosophy, including Barbara Ling (aka Owlbert):
I will not blog about anything that is meant to bring another person down. I’m a big believer in treating others the way I’d like to be treated myself.
The concern over the impact a blog can have on a worker’s life and position was brought up by Shortshire and Rhys who both agree that anything that involves their jobs or fellow employees isn’t worth the risk.
Almost all agreed that they like keeping it clean, avoiding offensive, abusive, and offensive language content from their posts as well as their comments. Richard H said, “And no foul language. It’s just not necessary to get a point across, in my opinion. A wise man once told me, ‘a foul mouth is a sign of a feeble mind trying to express itself forcefully.’”
Big Fella, like many, believe in sticking to the main focus of their blog without stepping over any moral boundaries:
I do not do gossip, I don’t like to use gratuitous profanity in my postings, I am not a shill for anyone. Just a guy sharing my observations on what piques my interest at any given time and creating commentary reflecting my values, and exercising my activist urges.
Graeme Hunter summed it up very nicely:
I tend towards the maxim of “If it will cause me or others trouble, don’t write it”. I don’t mind a good argument over opinion on a topic, but I see that as different to actually causing trouble. I have both a personal blog in my own name, and write on a work blog, with links between, so I have to be on my best behaviour.
We all have lines in our blogging sandboxes that we won’t cross. What about you?

GAMES, GAMES, GAMES!!!!!
GAMES, GAMES, GAMES!!!!!
We love the cool games we played when we were kids, so we found them and put those games in our widget platform (Thank You, Neave!!!!).
http://springwidget.com/widgets/byCategory/12
Check them out - they are in the "Fun and Games" category of the Widget Gallery.
We have the following:
Asteroids
Tic-Tac-Toe
Simon
Hexxagon
Snake
Space Invaders
They are pretty addictive - I spend more time than I'd like to admit tie-ing the computer in Tic-Tac-Toe - but I figured out the one move that always wins - hehe.
Have fun and let us know what you think!
