This is an ‘html-only’ version of Scribblings with no database behind it. This means it is not possible to search it. I am working on a new version with which I am hoping to eventually put back into the main site. The new version is here but please note that there is no link directly back to the main site.

Truly strange

Mozzying around the web in the past half hour I’ve found a couple of sites which illustrate two entirely different aspects of the human condition.

The first shows just how far the primarily male passion for collecting things can go if you have enough time, money and space. Tony has photos of his collections1 of sometimes huge numbers of items on different themes: keyrings, Magic Roundabout toys, latterns and porcelein whimsie are just a few. His collection of cartoon character toys would probably fill a normal house.

The other site I found explains how to wire a vibrator to an Xbox and bring a whole new level of experience to playing games. The site is rather technical but does have a link to another site where Jane describes how the idea has intoduced a completely new dimension to playing the game Rez with her partner Justin.

The world can sometimes be an even stranger place then we ever imagined it to be.

An apology

Since moving the site to a new server Scribblings is not as easy to find your way around as it used to be. It used to depend on a script and a database on the server but is currently served as ‘flat html’.

I have some ideas about how to make it a bit easier but they depend on writing another script. I hope to get around to it ‘eventually’.
