“In a miracle that defies statistical probability, Corey Muntner, 18, reported Monday that he found his soulmate, Tammy Gaska, right in his very own hometown of Peshtigo.” - 18-Year-Old Miraculously Finds Soulmate In Hometown

The wrong cd in the box…

I picked up the first Travis album for £3 in the MVC sale about a month ago. I haven’t touched it since then. But today I pick it up, open it and find that the Travis cd isn’t in the case. I now am the proud owner of a copy of Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel. All for £3. Bargain.

Has anyone else accidentally had cds they bought mixed up and ended up for something completely different?

The Music Video

Last weekend I spent about 20 hours sat in a cramped little darkroom with Scott editing a music video (more details to follow). It’s finally found its way onto the web and is available in DivX 4 format. (If you need the codec try here.)

Lack of posts…

There has been a lack of posts recently ‘cos I’ve been busy with coursework, the Union website and other stuff. And there’s plenty of stuff to write about that’s happened over the past weeks. And people who’s e-mails I’ve yet to reply to, I’m getting round to it…

Oh, please do check out Rich’s new site… http://angry.at/bigolslabomeat

Nice guys finish last

Apparently nice guys do indeed finish last. See this scientific research on The Deacon Effect.

Google your LAN

Wow, Google now sell a self-contained Search Appliance. It’s yellow and looks funky. It’s not cheap with prices starting at $20,000 but just think, it’s your own little Google!

And if that wasn’t enough they are also offering $10,000 in cash and a visit to Google to the winner of the First Annual Google Programming Contest.

When will they start wanting more than sales people in the UK?

You cannot be serious

“Pooh is very, very lucrative. Children live with him every day. They sleep with Pooh on their sheets, they wipe their faces with Pooh as they get out of the shower”

This is an apparently authentic quote used in an article by these guys. What is the world coming to? (Hat tip to -andy)

Blast from the past

My Dad e-mailed this to me today:

(from left to right: Gordon Hood, Ryan Crabbe, Neil Riley, Simon ‘Doug’ Dawson, Josh Phillips, Myself, and Ricky Banks)

This photo was taken in about year 10 of secondary school. We were young. Very young. And how people have changed since then. I feel old.

Greyisgood is a fine gallery of short films. Simple ideas filmed (mostly) in black and white with a large array of fitting yet unusual soundtracks. My personal highlights: Drained, Keith Evans and Ski Adventure.

Some are entirely one-man efforts, highlighted by the excellent use of static shots and the same person. Inspiring stuff.

Guildford Goths

Saturday afternoon down in town trying to do a few bits of shopping is a bleedin’ nightmare. You see, the town is packed. Not only is it chock full of people having their Saturday afternoon sojourn into the world of consumerism, but it’s also full of Guildford Goths.

These are a breed of fourteen year old skanks who wear a uniform of generic angsty-angry-manufactured-metal-band hoodies often with skateboards and do nothing but get in everyone’s way by sitting slap bang in the middle of shopping centre thoroughfares. Whilst sitting, they often indulge themselves in conversations about how they ‘had four cans of cider before jumping into the middle of the mosh pit’ and how ‘No 6 is hardest member of Slipknot’.

These are kids who buy into the angry metal music which has been manufactured just for them. They like it because their parents don’t and because it expresses some of the angst they feel. But the music is shite. Good and proper. It’s cynically marketed at them and the kids lap it up.
