It's Been A Slow Week - Part 1 - Music

Well, as the title says: "Its been a slow week".

I've found absolutely nothing interesting to blog about since my last post (its been so long that I almost forgot my blogger.com username and password!!). So I'll just throw some stuff here that really isn't news or stuff.

OK, so first lets talk music:
1. I'm getting more into +44. Probably coz I hate Tom Delonge and his Angels and Airwaves, and also coz I think Travis Barker is an awesome drummer.

Travis FTW!!!

2. I've recently rediscovered Finch. By rediscovered, I mean listening to all those mp3's that I "aquired" (I didn't say downloaded so the MPAA can suck my P2P software), but haven't yet listened to. All I can say is that they are awesome. Like they're kinda emo-core (I think), wikipedia says their a "rock" band but I could log on and change that to "american commercial jingle composers". Anyway check 'em out, my current favorite track is "What it is to burn":


well that's it for now. Look out for more non-news goodies later.
Peace out

NVIDIA or ATI?

I fucking hate it when big companies buy out little companies. It seriously fucks everything up. I mean, there are hardly any specialist shops these days, they've all been replaced by huge conglomerate supermarkets and shit. Long gone are the times of the local butcher, green grocer, and bakery. All we're left with are the Tesco's, Sainsbury's, and Morrissons, who would want you believe that they get quality produce and have fully qualified specialist staff. Bullshit.

Anyway, back to the real issue....

We all know Dell bought Alienware, and HP bought Voodoo PC.
We also know that AMD bought ATi.

So what could the next logical step be in the whole hyper-global-mega-net business acquisition process?
Think about it....


Could it be Intel buying NVIDIA?

Looks like my next rig upgrade may have to be an AMD and ATi setup :(

+44 FTW!!!

Angels and Airwaves suck ass. Everyone knows it. Don't deny your true feelings.
Tom Delounge is gay, and so is his new music. According to Seb, his wife's a real Yoko Oh-No.

So here's some +44 (Mark and Travis from Blink 182). Think of them as the better half of the Blink 182 split.



I like.
But..
The only thing I don't like is the name, coz its freakin' hard to search for on the interweb. Is it +44, Plus 44, Plus44, Plus Forty-Four, Plus Four Four, etc....?????

Wii!!!!

Now that I've pre-ordered my Wii, all that's left is the waiting......

But to keep me and you entertained, here's a cool little newsy story thingy about how freakin' sweet the Wii is (with videos).

Read or Die


You know what, I couldn't resist it. Here's one of the coolest videos from that article. I can imagine playing this game for ages, seeing as I don't play Seb's drums no more :(

Play NES Games Online

Holy SHIT!!!!
Here's probably the coolest freakin' website around. You can play original 8-bit NES games in your browser.

Cold as ICE

OMG!!! Here's an even better one!!!

How Black/White is your name?

Never one to hide my racist streak (ABC News are also, apparently, racists as well), here's a stupid article about the 20 "whitest" or "blackist" boys and girls names.

Only in America

The Lostpedia

Well, its been a frreakin' while huh.

So here's something I found. Its the online Lost Encyclopedia.

Yeah, I don't watch Lost (apart from the first episode) but I'll probably start once it gets good. I'm pretty sure its gonna start sucking soon, especially because J.J. Abrams and his goons still don't know what's going on in their own freakin' show.
