Merry Christmas

December 22, 2006

It’s that time of the year again! When people rush out to the nearest supermarket and buy enough food for a month when they only need two days worth. When people are flustered, irritated and easily annoyed. When it’s all elbows and fuck yous when you’re trying to navigate around the store. When the same [...]

I finally win something!

December 12, 2006

It’s true, proof is here. I’m not so sure why 71% of women are so concerned with the size of my steaks, however.

Silence is Gold(en)….

July 6, 2006

….if you’re the iTunes Music Store.There’s an Icelandic ‘alternative’ band that I adore. They are called Sigur Rós (pronounced Si-ur Rose). They produce some interesting music ranging from the pretentious to the glorious. They’re so good, even Radiohead cite them as an inspiration and they’ve toured with Radiohead at Thom Yorke’s request.On their 1997 debut [...]

United 93

June 8, 2006

Last week, we went to see United 93. For the few that don’t know, it’s a visualization of what happened to the crew and passengers on flight United 93 on the morning of September 11th 2001.I say “visualization” because it’s not really “based on the events of”. If anything, it’s a reconstruction of that fateful [...]

Hostel. It isn’t very good.

March 27, 2006

You’ve probably heard of the movie “Hostel”. According to some IMDB users, it’s the most gory and the most scary film in the world, ever. Apparently, in some theatres, members of the audience were so scared and shocked they left the theatre and hid in the toilets and had to be coaxed out by sweet-natured [...]

xbox360

March 14, 2006

Now, this is going to be a very short and contentious entry: The Microsoft xbox 360 is amazing. What’s more amazing is xbox live. Games which you’ve completed still get a spin in the drive thanks to online gaming. Call of Duty II is a brilliant single player game – but it’s even better when [...]

Intel Inside!

March 7, 2006

I’ve finally done it. I finally own a dual monitor Intel powered machine. It’s still a Mac though. After nearly three years of faithful service, it was time to retire the old G4 / 1ghz / 768mb iMac (of the iLamp style). It’s definitely served me well but recently it’s struggled to cope with the [...]

Dr. Evil Has Retired

March 6, 2006

I thought it was time for a bit of a make-over and retire Dr. Evil. I originally added Dr. Evil as my blog header a few years ago when we (IPS) removed the free trial version of IPB. I had a lot of “fan” mail accusing me of being mean and evil. I figured the [...]

It’s February 14th

February 14, 2006

Happy Valentines Day. If you expect this to be a misanthropic rant on the over-commercialism of another Hallmark-generated holiday, look elsewhere. If you expect a saccharin-sweet message on this day of romance, look elsewhere too. This isn’t an entry about Valentines day, I was just being polite in wishing you a happy one. Ok, you’ve [...]
