Our widescreen TV’s, credit cards, and field of vision are some of the manifestations of this ratio that we all know too well.  Come to think of it, I’d bet the last half bottle of Asahi I’m drinking now, that the smile of a beautiful woman on a glorious summer’s day, also conforms to this ratio.  My wife’s smile, of course.

We don’t need to work it out for ourselves, we get the math done for us with this cool golden ratio tool.

We’ve been using Akismet on our blog now for some time, and it does exactly what they proclaim.  It stops spam.  If you’re into web design or blogging online, and have your own blog, or run one for your company, this is a great time-saver.

Fed up of having to manually delete all the comment spam from your blog?  Akismet is your guard-dog, and a pretty loyal one at that.  Down in (not so sunny today) Bournemouth we’ve had this little puppy guarding our web design blog comments for a couple of months – and not a lot gets past it to be honest.

It’s dead easy to install on your blog – see the Akismet anti-spam website for more details.
