Say “what” again…

How awesome is this?

Now I really, really, really, REALLY, feel like watching Pulp Fiction. But it’s 4.04am and I don’t have it on DVD.

:(

“Again and Again – The Bird & the Bee” Video.

Check out this really awesome music video, made entirely out of applications in Mac OS X!
Song isn’t half bad either!

If you liked the song as much as I did, you can find The Bird & The Bee at myspace!

The video was made by a guy called Dennis Liu.

3G iPhone, kinda shit.

So! After all that time I was mad excited to get a 3G iPhone, after all the aggravation over promises of cheap unlocked iPhones that turned out to be lies, after all the hype and hysteria surrounding the new iPhone, I finally, finally played with one yesterday, and frankly, it wasn’t all that great.

SMSing on it was incredibly difficult, almost impossible. The keyboard that comes up on the screen is really really small, so unless you have the tiniest fingers in the world, you’re almost certainly going to mash the wrong letters. I think they tried to combat this with some sort of T9-esque predictive text/mistake fixing feature, which would have been great had it have been suggesting the right words…

The menu was pretty annoying to use. The menu on the iPhone I was playing with was really really really cluttered and messy. The “Stocks” button was right at the top of the first page of the menu, yet the button to make a phone call was all the way on page number 3. I’m certain you can reorder the menu, but the fact that the store one was layed out like that was pretty stupid.

Other things that were annoying about the iPhone was the absence of an MMS feature, as well as not being able to capture video, landscape-only video playback, and the price.

There is nothing all that special about the iPhone, the novelty wore off after about 4 minutes, and I’m kind of relieved I didn’t end up getting one.

It was pretty cool, I guess, but certainly not $800 cool.

94 bottles of beer on the wall…

94 bottles of beer!

You take one down, maybe pass it around.

Which leaves you with about 93 bottles of beer on the wall.

Only 200 or so kilometres to go.

Canberra!!! :D

Driving at 5 in the morning.

Is it just me, or is there a prerequisit for people driving at the early hours of the morning, that they have to be fucked up obnoxious, unecessarily asshole fuckhead drivers?

In the past week, I’ve almost been cleaned up by some fuck drifting into my street on the wrong side of the road and Christine and I were almost murdered by a car full of dodgy hoon gangbanger fucks who got out of their car at a set of lights, started throwing things at my car, spitting at us and probably would have shot or stabbed us had I not have ran the red light and gotten away from them.

Then we come to tonight. Up until tonight, I had a pretty high view of truck drivers. Especially truck drivers driving at this hour of the night. My dad is a truck driver, so this does not apply to all truck drivers.

Driving along James Ruse Drive, I come through the speed camera, doing the speed limit, and next thing I know, there are about 80 highbeam headlights about a foot away from my car, blaring through my back window. I thought nothing of it, just some one off fuck being a cunt to me.

About 20 minutes later, driving through Rydalmere and Ermington, no traffic around me, doing the speed limit, I see a truck come barreling down my lane at at least twice the speed limit. I move over to the far left lane to let this guy past, he gets right up next to me and starts holding down his airhorn. I slam on my brakes and end up behind this guy, he moves into my lane, so I pull into the right hand lane and start driving past him. Next fucking thing I know, this cunt is indicating, and merging into my lane!

I’m still halfway between the front and the back of this guy, he obviously sees me and has no problem crushing me and my car, so I ended up driving along the median strip to get past this fuck, and not lose half of my car.

I don’t get why people have to be so fucked up at this time of night.

Shit.
