If you’re unfamiliar with it, CrazyEgg is a cool webmaster tool that allows you to see exactly what your visitors do after landing themselves in your page, providing heatmaps and detailed lists.
While I was browsing the other day, I thought I should check my CrazyEgg reports and see how the changes at the blog frontpage are faring. To my (initial) dismay, CrazyEgg was going under some maintenance at the moment, but check what I stumbled upon:
CrazyEgg is going under maintenance – yay!
This, my friends, is CrazyEgg maintenance page. It’s a mini Flash game where you must drop eggs on advertising people to make them go crazy. Really. Couldn’t get more nifty than that!
Drop eggs and make advertisers crazy
Game over, oh noes!

Remember back when Twitter was da bomb?
When it first started, it had really blown up, since for some weird reason people were all too keen to publish their most private thoughts or actions to this little web 2.0 thingie. Twitter-centered sites kept coming up and everyone was happy tweeting.
Did I jump on the bandwagon? Oh boy, didn’t we all.
After a while though, constantly posting tweets was rapidly becoming a drag. To be frank, I was too busy to goof off with the little bird on my desktop that kept chirping and chirping. It stopped being that much fun.
But sometimes at nights, I missed the goofy thing. You can say what you want, that thing was fun. So I came back to Twitter.
Beware: pompous words ahead…
Now that my Twitter persona has matured, I think I use it more efficiently to keep track of my day. When I’m at home, Twitter helps me not staying idle (except when I’m on WoW) since its constant chirping from friends means one thing: people are doing things and I don’t! Buckle up!
Moreover, Twitter has become a good source of inspiration for blogging and a place where I can outsource all my failed blogging ideas, which turn to tweets. Plus, it has always been a great way of meeting people.
Ain’t that fun?
Do you use Twitter? Did you leave and then come back, like me?

A bit of semiology today, on TimLahan.com.
I love this portfolio site – its imagery is very direct and personal, making you want to really contact this person for work.
The pencils, brushes and pens in the pocket, in addition to the “under-construction” colour theme really work, since they show that the person in charge of the site is industrious and will get your job done. Plus, the steaming cup of beverage shows that he’s a laid back guy, friendly and open-minded.
