See if you can spot the part that they probably wouldn’t be able to do nowadays without someone shrieking. Not the paint…

This is the most astoundingly brilliant thing since the invention of forever. Well, there may have been a couple of things.. maybe.. Anyway, watch and listen. It’s Radiohead’s Nude off the new album (not heard it, is it good?) played by very old and outdated hardware. More music should be made that way.

squidgy wares
I am now going to gush about a bit o’ softwares wot I stumbled upon recently. Upon discussing the drab and dreary boredom putting up with having the same imagine on all screens in a multiple monitor setup, a googling of different wallpapers on each screen led me to stumble upon something I had found. Bing bong billy bong. It was DisplayFusion, software that not only allows one to have multiple background images, but the sheer power of it conjoins words together. It goes beyond that though, there are hot keys to flick your programs about monitors, tile things, resize things.. alla that funky shiznat. More funky though is that it integrates into flickr (for those wot got an account there) and if you cough up the measly ten bucks for the pro version, you can have your images randomly selected on timed changes. So yea, if you have multiple displays and suffer from the not so rare and surprisingly deadly ‘Gee, having the same desktop background on each monitor is so boring, I wish there was a way to have a different image on each one, maybe two images that complement each other, maybe even two completely different images, wouldn’t that be zany, I’d be the talk of the town and the ladies really dig that shit, maybe I can put sanskrit on one of them too’ syndrome, then this is the product for you!
In other news, is it just me or does healthy eating really not satisfy the hunger pangs. I ate two oranges and an apple for lunch yesterday and I ended up hungrier than when I started. Not sure if that’s my body rebelling against it or if that’s just what happens, but a dosage of steak and Coopers down at the pub fixed me right up. Tuesday night is cheap steak and trivia night! Lotsa fun, last night we join forces with a couple who wandered in and sat at the end of the table we was at. Unfortunately our combined forces didn’t help as much as we were hoping and we only ended up coming fifth, but it was fun anyway.
Anyway, I’m off.. going to get 6 oranges and 14 apples… that’ll learn my stomach..

This may not make sense so much if you’ve not played Portal, but the song is still tops…

things you want
How awesome is this?! Here’s a t-shirt that contains a speaker that you can control from your pocket! Finally, life can have sound effects and background music! See for yourself:
Just imagine how classy you’d be! More excellent stuff here.
Just a shame they’re all made up…. I really want that door lock.

somewhat awesome
Right, I’m linking something here that requires explaining. Here it is. Use the Ausgamers link to download it directly.
Seen it? You’re supposed be at least watching on some spare real estate on your screen or preferably on the second monitor you scored from somewhere that you watch vids on while tooling about on the internets.
Why not, it’s super handy? You can put itunes on it while you’re dragging things into it for your ipod, put the remote session into your server machine while tooling about with your firewall on there, use it as aforementioned for videos… no? None of these apply and I’m only showing my hopeless geek side? Well….. your loss.
Anyway, the first thing is to state that the somewhat awesomeness does not come from the standard anime underwear shots, nor the attempt at cute girl vs pervy dude thing going on there. It’s somewhat of an homage to random anime flicks, shooting games (the ones where you’re in a spaceship, not the ones where you shoot persons’ heads off) and other amusingness. Also it contains sacrilege, which is always a plus point. Now, the main points it falls down (for those who appreciate the content) are the music, and the lack of any sound effects whatsoever. The BGM requires more rock (the first thing that comes to mind is Crystal Flash, by virt.. because it’s so awesome even if you don’t know where it’s arranged from.. get it here), and sound effects would add impact. It does contain a monstrous amount of in-jokery, but rest assured that I have no idea about the vast majority of them anyway.
Also, this. I’m not explaining it, it won’t mean anything if you don’t already know.
