Body Image – Perfection is just a mouse click away

Saturday, September 30th, 2006

Body image is a big deal for a lot of people. If you took a vote of 10 random people, I’d say 70% would be unhappy with at least one aspect of their physical appearance. I mean, I think I could be a little be hotter, but then you can’t have everything. That’s why I [...]

The Screech Saved by the Bell Sex Tape

Friday, September 29th, 2006

The Age blog is reporting a very disturbing story this morning. You may remember the crappy US teen sitcom “Saved by the Bell”. Staying true to the sitcom formula of the time, “Saved by the Bell” featured a Steve Urkel style character called Screech. Screech made me feel a whole lot better about myself. Well [...]

I finished Call of Duty: Finest Hour last night. It took me quite a while actually, the first levels were quite easy but the difficulty really lifted a few notches in the second half of the game. Call of Duty: Finest Hour is a first person shooter set in World War 2, and unlike [...]

Bean Bag Boy News

Thursday, September 28th, 2006

Many of you will know of my associate Bean Bag Boy, he’s a D Grade celebrity here at Nerd Central. So I’m sitting on the couch watching TV and surfing the web when he walks out in business shirt and budgie smugglers and asks, “is this too comfortable?”
YES!

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

“Well, I’m the best there is. Plain and simple, when I wake up in the morning I piss excellence.” I think it needs to be said from the outset, Talladega Nights is not high brow sophisticated comedy. It shares a lot in common with films like Happy Gilmour and Anchorman. Actually if those two films [...]

Which metal band are you?

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

Just took the “Which Metal Band are you?”�Quiz. The results are in, and apparently I’m Opeth.
“You are Opeth! You are very poetic with your lyrics, and your music flows like a waterfall. Your emotions change from angry to sad very quickly. Some people don’t like you because you can sound too depressing. You’re one of [...]

Bloggers top 10 celebrity targets

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

As long as there is the internet, and blogs, there will be people slagging off celebrities. Easy targets? Yes. It’s hardly sport, but that doesn’t mean it can’t still be fun. Apparently the online world agrees. I stumbled across a list of the blog worlds ‘ten most hated celebrities’. Hate is such a strong word. [...]

Tuesday, September 19th, 2006

I’m currently working on a Blogger template that is AdSense friendly. A lot of Blogger’s are making use of AdSense these days, but after doing a quick search on the web, I couldn’t find a Blogger template that made the most of the AdSense program.
The template I’m developing is based on one of Thur’s layouts�(another [...]

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

The ghetto adventures of Carl Johnson (CJ) have come to an end. Order has been restored, and Grove Street is back on the map. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was the most entertaining game I’ve played in a while. Entertaining, but time consuming!
Time can pass quickly when you in San Andreas, you’ll tell yourself, [...]

New laws to target Australian Mod Chip users

Sunday, September 17th, 2006

There was a report on the Age website on Friday. The new laws are basically coming into effect to honour Australia’s Free Trade Agreement with the US. From what I can gather, the new ‘mod chip’ legislation will bring Australian law in line with US in this area. One of the key points to come [...]

Pickle burgers – part of the ‘great new taste menu’

Saturday, September 16th, 2006

Going out on a Friday night is something I haven’t done in a long long time. A few drinks, a few games of pool, two for one meals at the pub. Friday’s are a beautiful thing. Unfortunately, Friday’s don’t last forever. Fortunately however, there is a McDonalds on the way home, because pool can really take [...]
