My ‘completely missing the point’ award of 2009 goes to the Japanese scientists who have now bred non-poisonous Puffer Fish.

Guys, the entire point of eating Puffer Fish/torafugu is?

Quite.

Gotta love all those 134,000 opportunists, profiteers and dreamers out there.

Michael Jackson had that many close personal friends?

I think not.

Those of you out there picking up this site via RSS (which means most readers of this site) might have noticed all sorts of strangeness and mayhem in the RogiLife.Com RSS feed/s over these last few weeks.

This was, and still is as I type, being caused by a right royal screw-up by Google, who have taken over the previously flawless Feedburner service.

Hopefully, Google will fix their many and varied technical RSS problems sooner rather than later, but the strangeness in the feeds is likely to continue for a while yet.

Google? Do no evil? Sure…

More than a little unbelievably, the excellent IWantSandy reminder and appointments service is closing down for good on the 8th of December.

IWantSandy was an excellent service, as I mentioned back in the middle of April this year, and losing it is a major PITA as there are no comparable services out there to replace it with.

However, what is done is done.

The official announcement, along with plenty of – mostly very angry – feedback to it, can be read here.

There is really not much left to say about O.J. Simpson’s upcoming ‘hypothetical confession’ book that has not already been said all over the intarwebnets a thousand times today, but out of curiosity…

Did you know that the two one-hour television interviews with Simpson to be aired on Fox Television on Nov. 27 and 29 are going to be conducted by the book’s publisher, Judith Regan?

Regan’s company, Regan Books, is a subsidiary of News Corp, which also owns Fox Television. Regan Books paid Simpson $3.5m (£1.85m) for the book—according to the New York Post.

And yep, guess what? The New York Post is also owned by News Corp.

This is starting to make my head spin, I tell you.
