Since January 10th 2006, The Ploy has been bringing listeners a mix of talk, comedy and interviews. A show with a track record of unearthing talent and interesting people with early interviews featuring such people as James Kotecki and Leith K. Brooks going on to mainstream attention in publications and platforms such as the New York Times, FOX and Politico. Interviews with already prominent personalities like John Melendez (”The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”, “The Howard Stern Show”) and John Burgess (”Wheel of Fortune”, “Burgo’s Catch Phrase”) have showcased a different side of their personalities. A mix of smart interviews, comedy and genuine conversation The Ploy is a look back at the week that was, intertwining serious discussion with light hearted conversations and comedy pieces.

The best YouTube downloader I've ever seen. No malware, and even allows for the downloading of HD clips in MP4 format. Aussies looking for a good YouTube downloader need to get their hands on the latest PC User magazine and get this program. Darren Yates has done it again!

Um.... Holy Crap! These shots of Evan Rachel Wood from the new issue of GQ magazine are probably some of the sexiest shots I've seen all year. And sure, the year is only four months long so far, but these shots of Evan Rachel Wood in her lingerie are retardedly sexy. You can thank Terry Richardson for that. The guy might be a bit of a freak, but he takes one hell of a sexy picture. Of course, the fact that Evan is ridiculously hot helps. This ain't no Jennifer Love Hewitt in Maxim bullshit.

Just import your Plurk RSS feed into Friendfeed, and volia! Plurk and Friendfeed are one!

But but... Then I wont get plurk icon to my posts!
- k00pa
k00pa, it's just an icon! A small picture that won't mean a lick of difference in the greater scale of things (at least in this case). The link goes to Plurk...if your mates are smart enough, they'll know how to go the rest of the way. ;)

It acts all funny, though. Goes to plurk.com instead of plurk.com/user/my_user_name unfortunately.

Although I suppose FriendFeed is aware of Plurk's popularity and is simply waiting for an API to do things 'properly.'
- Arron Washington
Well you can't have it all...in time I reckon they'll support it, and as Arron said, they're probably waiting on an API to do a proper job of it. But in the mean time, it works for me.

I still want a pretty Plurk icon on my RSS feed, even if it doesn't actually make a difference in the usage. The blue-ugliness of FriendFeed may be the main factor preventing me to use it more.
