Miami Wysse, Number 1 New Show!

This is seriously the hottest song and video I have heard and seen in a while. I got turned onto this song because of a remake by FPU, turns out Jan Hammer is a pretty sweet composer when it comes to 1980's synth and drumpads. Peep it, Crockett's Theme...the Video.


Home Movies

Hey All,
I am droppin some hot new home movies to go along with the Gatti gets licked movie. Peep it, the teammates playing GH. Check out how high the guitar on the guy not dancing is. What decade is this anyway? Oddly enough the song is quite fitting for the height of the guitar...

Ruh Roh

Apparently I had it all wrong about the Falcon 1 rocket. It actually did launch at around 9:10pm, but the webcast had been turned off about 5 minutes into flight (or so I read). The rocket failed to hit earth orbit due to some roll control problems in the 2nd stage so it actually just arced back into normal earth atmosphere. Oh well, at least it made it off the ground.

In another story we read how crappy DRM from music production companies forced a normal law abiding citizen to turn to music piracy. Kudos and welcome to the fold.

YOU FAIL...AGAIN!!




For a fourth time today the new Falcon 1 rocket from SpaceX has failed to launch. The falcon 1 is set to replace Nasa's now retiring rocket and is to aid in lowering cost and raising reliability of rocket flight. Again I bring up the point I have made in the past about the 1st moon landing. From what I have been gathering over the past few years regarding space flight, it is a fairly rigorous and dangerous process...now...in the year 2007. Predictions from the time of the supposed 1st space walk had us flying around in cars and using robots as bank tellers by now. Hard to imagine that we are having such a hard time getting back to the moon when it was already done so long ago, allegedly. Anyway, there was a webcast of the event which allowed me to actually hear them say the words "we have an abort!" and the curses of the launch staff thereafter. Actually it was a little depressing now that I think about. Sucks to be SpaceX right now.

Welcome Back






Yes hipsters you are reading correctly. Commodore, one of the pioneers of video gaming has returned to the scene and their phasers are set to frag as they attempt to unseat Alienware and any other pc manufacturer that dares to compete in the high end gaming machine market. I really have no idea how good these computers really are but I do know that one of them is running a quad core processor and two hefty video cards in tandem (whoa!). I just hope some Matthew Broderick wannabe gets a hold of one and starts world war 3 with it. Also that little handy dandy gadget is commodores offering in the PMP (Personal media player) market. Little and cute, I believe it has wifi and a camera. Move over iPod? Maybe, the only thing I can see unseating the little ubiquitous white (or black, I don't see in colors anyway) box is one that has all the young and old hipsters wanting a name that represents nostalgia but displays cutting edge technology.

I'm Back!

Forgive me father for I have sinned. It has been too long since my last post and I feel as if I have some catching up to do. To fill all the excited readers in, I am still unemployed but am closing in on a position that will have me leaving the comfortable nest of Rocha and going to another place that I am sure will be more expensive. I am currently in NYC right now, but will be heading back to the Roc shortly where I will stay until next weekend. Then a return trip to NYC for a Rugby tourney and possibly to find a new place to live. I will add more when I return to the Roc, just wanted to do a quick post to let all those know that doubted me that I have returned...
