I just ate a peach!

It was juicy.

If you only watch one video today, try and make it this one.

Mainly because it’s a great idea, but also because you have to admit that Lionel Richie is the King of Music.

The King I say.

This has to be one of the most honest reviews I’ve ever read.

Paris Hilton review by the Guardian

Its for Paris Hilton’s new album and I have to say that it encapsulates everything that should be in a review.

Go on. Read it. You’ll thank me.

This may be perhaps the funniest comic I’ve seen. At least today. And yesterday.

Its a cat drawing!

I don’t claim ownership, and was at no point involved in the creative process but if you sort of tilt your head to the side and squint a bit I’d like to imagine this is the kind of comic I would write. But it isn’t.

I didn’t write it. OR DID I?

No I didn’t.

Click it.

300 is an excellent film and living as we do in such an inclusive age, the film studio has made a pg version of the film for the younger viewer. So go ahead and watch the trailer for it. It certainly looks … enjoyable.

I suggest any body that likes audio/visual entertainment watch this video. It seems like ages ago when Microsoft touted their Windows Media Center Edition as the next big thing for the home. Wow, yes. That really revolutionized the way I watch TV. But this does look more promising. Its an add-on to Ubuntu called LinuxMCE, it does a huge amount more than the original Media Center did and looks more slick and open ended.

If I can find a spare day or two I might just look at setting it all up in my house. If I ever do get around to doing it I’ll let you know if it lives up to the video.

Watch this and tell me you didn’t laugh. If you didn’t then you clearly have to no sense of humor. Unlike me. I have a sense of humor and recognized this as funny. YEAH!

while working feverishly today I stubled across these gems on youtube. Its a lovely little promo video made by Microsoft for Windows 95. You can watch them here, here, here and here. You know its bad when they have a character called “joystick johnny” playing pinball to show off their OS. Underwhelms me in much the same way as the Vista promos.

(On a side note – Ive got my asides working -yeah – perfect for these kind of posts that don’t really warrant a full post)

animation station redux!

a long while ago i posted on an animation that i found on youtube.

Seriously somebody must of been reading and thought it hilarious, because no less than half an hour later the video was taken off youtube, and i’ve been unable to find the same thing elsewhere.

Until now.

While working hard i stumbled upon this. The exact same video but on google video. Huzzah!

So now, if you missed it first time, here is the animation i wanted to show you nearly 6 months ago.

Candy Mountain!

Charlie, Charlie, Charlie!!!

Yeah!

Eleven saints

This song if from the accordion-aficionado Jason Webley, watch it through and by the end you’ll be singing along. Rather unusual to find a video like this that looks like it was actually made by cutting out bits of paper/(I don’t know – it might be in flash but i don’t think so).

If you really like the song, you can even download it. Now isn’t that nice.

GO – Jason Webley – Eleven Saints.

animation station

so, not much work is getting done at this exact period in time. As a small break between the relentless hours of hardcore coding, heres a lovely animation to get your teeth into. Its called miniscule and apparently its the pilot for a series begin made for the discovery channel.

I hope the rest of the series lives up to the quality of the first episode.
