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...

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...

Gatti Gets Licked

Peep It!!

Makinola web page

As some of you may or may not know I was recently laid off from my job at the illustrious Eastman Kodak Company.  Some may have seen this coming, I would like to say I have no regrets about my time there as it allowed me 3.5 years of valuable experience and income.  But now that I have some free time on my hands I find myself in the middle of an awesome vacation.  I haven't been contributing to this blog as regualarly as I wanted to, so I have decided to just build a website where I will post the blog to. This will take up some of my free time, and it will allow me to dabble in my hobbies of information and web design.  I will post updates on where I am on the site to the blog for those that care and until I eventually host the blog on the site.  All the same, step one: get dreamweaver since its easy enough and my roommate approves. 

The Rocketeer Club

How do I get in on this shit?

A.K.A "The British Are Retarded"

In a story proclaiming that 57% of Brits polled don't know that IM stands for Instant Messaging, we now understand why they were our biggest supporter in the war in Iraq.  And they vote!

Freaky Video

Check out this video

The Story is here, they are robotic whiskers that sense texture and shape as they stroke a surface.  I think the model that they used in the video could have been a little less "House of Wax" like...

Get Outta Town

This is a pretty cool little monitor from Sharp.  Reminds me of those black and white vignettes you can make using two different photos. 

In a stunningly retarded move, Microsoft plans to start a social networking site that is pretty much the same as the myriad of Soc-Net sites around, only Microsoft will make you pay for the content that you put on your page.

Wallop says the plan to charge users for the decorations will supplant the advertising that supports many such free sites. The add-ons will initially cost somewhere between 99 cents and $4, said Karl Jacob, the San Francisco company's chief executive. The company will offer some elements for free.

Why would I want to join a site where I have to pay for content that goes on my page just to avoid ads? I don't remember ads being such a problem that I would be willing to pay for my page layout to avoid them. Oh yeah, you can only join if someone else invites you, a practice sure to keep their site membership nice and low. This kind of ignorance of the market place does not belong in today's society. Also the name Wallop sounds ridiculous and forced.

You Write the Caption

I forget what other website does this (village voice maybe?), provides a picture and then lets you decide what the caption should say.  This thing just looks totally ridiculous, but still pretty cool (damn you Toyota). 



I am going to have to go with "Aqua Teen Hunger Force Technology makes
it to Reality".  This references the ATHF episode known as "e-Dork"
where Master Shake and Carl after adorning cell phone helmets (the
e-helmet) with numerous attachments (the e-iano, e-piano!) gets the
Head (brain of a 4 year old) and leg upgrades to their e-helmet, which
then promptly jump into the pool killing Carl.

Adult Swim To Release Yet Another Record

And as their usual standard of quality must be upheld, it's gonna be fuckin' hot.  They have collaborated with Stones Throw Records in the past for Danger Doom (Danger Mouse and MF Doom).  They also produced Chocolate Swim which actually was pretty sweet as well.  Now they have taken the partnership with Stones Throw further than a Stones Throw (sorry =P)  to produce Chrome Children which showcases each artist on the Stones Throw Label (who knew all these hot hip hop artists were under one label?).  Please check it when it comes out, I might have to buy this one because of the free DVD documentary.  Peep the website here .  While you are there you might as well check out the rest of the Adult Swim website since there is mad media there, including a crap load of shows on the "fix" video hosting section. 

Sorry for You Suckers That Don't Have A DVR

Now you will not only be forced to watch the commercials because you don't have a D/PVR, but the commercials themsleves will become agonizing for you as you watch the same image displayed for the length of the commercial.  That's what you get for not upgrading your tech, bitches.

No Way...

That's a lot of embezelling.

The New Ways of War

If by some ridiculous reason I had to go to Iraq, I can easily say this would be me.  Although my PSP would also be there to give me hours of fun and I use Jin to beat the everliving crap out of Bryan the cyborg in Tekken: Dark Ressurection.

You write the Caption For This...

I'm moving to China for the cool robots. Who wouldn't want to live in a society that has seens like that pictured above...

What Kind of Gamer are You??

I probably am somewhere in the social or power gamer category. I have recently gotten back to my gamer roots and it feel so good.
