Another Year, Another Reboot

So it's been over a year, and I haven't blogged or programmed in quite a while. Now in my free time I have decided to restart my blog as well as my new tumblr blog, the Mega Wisdomtron, (which is currently under construction while I figure out how to use the blasted thing) hosting great snippets of wisdom and fun facts from myself and the people around me.

Keep your eyes peeled for updates.

BOOM!

I'm In A Music Video!!!!

Brraaappp brrraappp!!

You can skip to around the 2:30 minute mark for my amazing performance, but the song's pretty good so just watch the whole thing. I suggest going to the youtube page for the HQ verion.



This video was made as part of a promotional contest where independent film-makers were chosen to make a single music video for a song of the artist (Trip's) album.
The videos were then screened for us, and I have to say that most of them were pretty good. So if you enjoyed this song, take a listen to the rest of his stuff.

...and from that beautifully crafted segue we have:

The Obligatory Link-Dump
(Also blinking text coz I'm an asshole)

You can watch the rest of the videos here at Trip's youtube account:
http://www.youtube.com/TripsKingdom
http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=TripsKingdom&view=videos

Also find him on MySpace
http://www.myspace.com/TripsKingdom

He's also on Twitter (I just added him):
http://twitter.com/Tripmusic
http://twitter.com/ClickJSF - Errr... that's me.

...and of course, bloody facebook (gay)

Finally, here's the link to the peeps that made the video (BIGUPS Ags!!! Brrraaapp!)

Taken from DayTrip the movie of the album ShortCuts by TRIP.

DayTrip was filmed in 24 hours by 11 different directors and filmed in album running order. Each director had 2 hours with Trip to shoot their video before he moved onto a different location and director to shoot the next song from the album, with the last shot of each video being the first shot of the next. Every video has a clock showing real-time as Trip moves through his 24-hour journey. It was then edited in 24 hours, and shown in a Soho screening room 24 hours later. DayTrip will be released as a special edition DVD free with Trip's debut album ShortCuts.

Possibly The Best Speakers Ever

Well, by best I mean the best form factor.

I introduce to you the Speak-er:


It's not just a single speaker but a pair, so you can enjoy listening to James Taylor's new album in glorious stereo!!

It's like those simple stereo speakers you get with PCs or those travel speakers. Plug in a stereo source like an mp3 player (coz not everyone has an iPodPhoneBookPro) or a laptop (coz some people don't have net books... yet), then connect the left speaker to the right speaker, plug in the power and pump up the volume and you're good to go.
Seeing as it has a power supply, I'm not too sure if it'll work as a passive speaker set so you can enhance the ghostly echoes of Enya with faint tinny sounds.

Anyways here's some specs I stole (believe them at your own risk):
  • 2" full range [I have no clue what this means]
  • Power: 6 watts per speaker
  • Dimensions: H4" x W6" x L2"
  • Input Impedance: >5k Ohm
  • SNR: >70dB
  • Frequency Response: 60-120kHz
  • Input Sensitivity: 400mV for rated power
  • Max Power Consumption: 20 watts
Pricing is at $120 (USD I thinks - come on exchange rate!), and I've been told shipping to the UK is about $50 on top.
These aren't out until April, and then there's only going to be 1,000 of them. But you can reserve yourself a set here (like I did yesterday).

Actually, you know what... speech bubbles would be cool as cuff links.

Week In Summary

In Superbowl news, the Steelers beat the Cardinals.
At least now I can say the Ravens were beaten by the best (but 3 times in a season is just plain embarrassing).
Also Superbowl ads. I heard they were crappy... unlike the half-time show (my segues are a work in progress). So yeah, The Boss was pretty much Boss. Better than the other performers since that nipple-gate scandal (damn you Janet!). But then anyone is better than Tom Petty errrgghhh, he was lame. Prince (or whatever his name is) wasn't that good either, and you know it!

Also it snowed on Monday, and the UK came to a standstill.
Errmm... not much else to say about that, except snow fights and snowmen. Oh yeah, a colleague was telling me how she and her flatmates were having hardcore snow fights with 10 year olds. By hardcore, I mean throwing them to the ground and smothering them with snow.
Oh yes, and she also mentioned possibly the best snow sculpture ever... wait for it... a SNOW PENIS.

Now why couldn't I think of that instead of staying home??

*sigh*
That's been the week in summary, to be honest I can't be bothered to add pics and links so you'll have to do your own Googling.

Seacrest OUT!!!

Happy Birthdays

For some reason 2 people I know are having birthday's this month. Who has birthdays in January?? Don't they realise it's too close to Christmas, and cheap buggers like me will just get a single gift to cover both occasions? *sigh*
So, for:
  1. My friend Michelle (27th - aka today)
  2. My godson Joshua (29th - aka Thursday)
this goes out to youz guyz...



HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!



P.S. Sorry for the blinking text... I feel like I need one of those animated gifs with an annoying sound on mouse-over... If you can't see any blinking text, then I'm not sorry. But I am sorry that you are using Internet Explorer. www.getfirefox.com

Schofield and Coffee

So this was my morning: get to work, fire up my PC, open Outlook 2007 and Firefox. Immediately go to twitter (I used to go to Google Reader but RSS feeds are forever, twitter is NOW!), and to my surprise my feed is overrun by Phillip Schofield replying to people!!!

I added him last night after finding him on Jonathan Ross's twitter account, and after 6 hours of sleep I get a huge dose the Schofe. Totally unexpected and totally AWESOME (I can still remember him with Sarah Greene and Gordon the Gopher on "Going Live!"). Also, bonus points on his account name being "Schofe", not as cool as "The Hoff", but still bonus point worthy.

Alright, that's it for now.
Oh wait, I forgot about the coffee aspect. No, I didn't have coffee with the Schofe, but if I did, I'd have one of these:


Freedom Coffee, the perfect way to compliment your French Freedom Toast.
