What do you say?
Coming to the point, I frequently bump into new and cool bits of tech, ranging from web sites, web services, gadgets to 'hidden' features in everyday tools. I would like to write about them on the blog. You know, like tell you about one cool website or a really easy way to separate first and last names in Excel or how to start up your PC instantly.
What I can't decide is, should these posts be in the same blog (vixdom) or should I be starting a new blog which is focussed on that. Here are my views:
Starting a new blog (PoV will remain the way it is)
1. Vixdom is about 'nothing in particular'. And I like it that way since it gives me the liberty to post just about any piece of crap I come up with.
2. Starting a new blog which is focussed on tech might be a good idea since it tells the readers exactly what to expect.
Posting about tech thingies in PoV now and then
1. People would not have to another blog.
2. PoV will have the combined 'viewership' of tech readers and nonsense readers
3. I might not have time to come up with material for PoV which might die down :-(
What's your opinion? Should I start a new blog focussin on tech tips and reviews? Take the poll alongside.

CRACKED.com - An Experiment in Nudity: Top 10 Female Names on Google
Source: CRACKED.com - An Experiment in Nudity: Top 10 Female Names on Google
We’ve taken the 10 most popular female names in America, plugged them into Google Image search, and rated the results according to how naked they are. It’s like rating your classmates yearbook pictures, only your class is the size of the whole world, and the yearbook committee is surprisingly tolerant of pornography.
Yes, we ran out of things to do at the office.
#10.
Margaret
First Result:
Margaret “Dink” Nolan, the Bond girl from Goldfinger. A Bond girl at No. 1! That’s promising ...
Overall Front-Page Strength:
... And, then there's a whole bunch of professors and school teachers, including that physicist lady in the first row who studies asteroids. Seriously, this is like a feminists' dream, here. There's six Ph.D.s and zero thong models. That's ... progress we guess.
Porn Index:
Turning off Google's SafeSearch adds a single image of an almost-completely clothed Margaret Lee to the front page.
Seriously, Google, where is that pic not considered "safe?" Iran? Are you worried about the children? The children see more scantily-clad women in a Hanes commercial. Otherwise, nothing.
Overall Ranking (On a scale of 1 to 5 Google Boobs):
1 out of 5 Boobles. Margaret is a respectable woman, but she's no damned harlot. Moms, you want to keep your girl off the stripper pole, name her Margaret.
