NBA 2K7 is probably the most addictive Xbox games I’ve played in a long while. Compared to NBA Live 2007, NBA 2K7 is worlds apart in terms of realism and feel. Controls take a bit to get used to and don’t have the ‘arcade’ style feel of NBA Live 2007. I like to start with [...]

The Pick of Destiny promises to be the greatest rock musical since Hedwig and the Angry Inch sans post operative transexuals. It sounds rockin and features a very special guest appearance by Dave Grohl as ‘Satan’ (perhaps reprising his role from the Tribute film clip). Apparently Dave played drums on the entire Pick of Destiny [...]

This is one for the believe it or not file. It stands, literally, as the strangest guitar that I have seen! You can read all about it here. I find it more than a little disturbing. I’d hate taking this one into the guitar tech for a re-fret or service, I’d be too concerned that [...]

If you watch the Borat movie, then chances are you will either wet your pants laughing or walk out highly offended. Fortunately for Borat, I nearly wet my pants.
The basic premise is that Borat, a reporter for a Khazakistan TV network, is sent to the US to film a documentary about what makes the US [...]

Audioslave are often labelled a super group. One part Soundgarden, three parts Rage Against The Machine. For me, they don’t quite live up to the supergroup hype. I’m a huge Chris Cornell fan, and have been for a long time, his solo album was highly under rated I thought, so what I’m about to say [...]

The John So juggernaut steams on with news today that he has been voted ‘World Mayor 2006′, snaring over 16,000 votes at worldmayor.com. For those that don’t know John So is the Mayor of the City of Melbourne. The man dubbed as “a rockstar in a Mayor’s body” beat 676 other Mayor’s of the world [...]

Yesterday I took up an easy ten buck paid post opportunity. All I had to do was read a blog post on the TechCrunch site and then write 100 words about what I thought about it. I wasn’t being paid to take a side, I was being paid to post 100 words that outlined my [...]

Still looking for a new nick name for ‘Queen of the Nerds’, so doesn’t look like she’ll be getting a shirt for Christmas. Lucky that this PayPerPost opportunity came up cos it’s given me some ideas. As we all know, ‘Queen of the Nerds’ is into all sorts of spiritual and “hippy” stuff. As a [...]

At 7/502 at tea in Australia’s first innings on the 4th day, it looks like the second Ashes test is going to peter out to a boring draw. England batted the life out of the game in the first two day’s play, and it looks like Australia have gone out and replied with some tit [...]

Well, the PayPerPost war is heating up. Actually, until 5 mins ago I didn’t even realise there was a war going on. Anyway, PayPerPost are offering bloggers like myself cold hard cash to voice their opinions about a TechCrunch story posted by a dude called Mike. Well I’ve read Mike’s post, and I could sure [...]

I read a bizarre story just recently regarding NSW Education Minister Carmel Tebbutt. Whilst out promoting her governments ‘excellent’ track record in education she was asked what the significance of Australia Day was. Unfortunately for her, she couldn’t provide the correct answer. Must have been highly embarrassing to have been corrected by the radio host [...]
