Nick Hampshire reckons that after 30 years of talking about ebooks, they are about to become a reality. In December, he helped form the E-book Society, "aimed at helping authors, publishers and users understand some of the potential of the e-book, and help develop creative ways of using the technology".

Randy Cassingham, who writes This Is True and Heroic Stories, shut down his humorous Randy's Random newsletter because it was one more thing to handle. Now he has converted it to a blog, JumboJoke.com. But don't send him jokes: "I've a huge backlog and don't need more."

Anyone who clicks on it finds out how to get there and when to leave. What is shown is step-by-step directions for each form of transport such as trains, buses, car and by foot.

A bit of a blast from the past today. How to Make Friends by Telephone is a manual from the 40's which basically instructs the reader on telephone etiquette.

Not many eBay adverts get 17m page views, reduce visitors to tears of laughter, attract proposals of marriage, or get their writers interviewed on TV. All of this happened to Larry Star, whose hilarious listing was for "One slightly used size 12 wedding gown". Star - a bearded and tattooed software test designer from Seattle, Washington - modelled the gown himself. He still has it, too, because the winning bid turned out to be a student prank.
