As I sit here playing around with a wordpress template, I have just realised that it is Thursday night, and that means reality TV gold, in the form of 'Beauty and the Geek'. The show involves pairing 7 hot (and supposedly stupid) bimbos with 7 geeky, yet smart dudes. One of the 'nerds' has just hooked up with one of the hot chicks. Two blonde chicks are getting philisophical about the differences between "them and us". One nerd complains he is getting dumber due to talking to the blondes. I sense friction.

Caitlin is listed as an "Aspiring Fashion Expert". Aspiring??? One guy is the president of the Dukes of Hazzard fan club. This show is awesome. Geeks having to give hot chicks massages, hot chicks having to change tyres in bikinis. This is what TV should be like! Hopefully I can take up a spot in the second series!

King of the Nerds is telling us how he has "never sensuosly touched a woman", he complains that there was nothing he could be more inept at, and his blonde companion asks, "what does inept mean?"

Speaking of what the...? What the hell are Ingersoll Rand air tools?

Daniel Craig is the new Bond. A bit colder than the Bond's of the past, and by the end of Casino Royale, a great deal more bitter and twisted. Casino Royale starts off in a semi arthouse fashion (by that I mean the opening sequence is partly shot in black and white), and shows us how Bond achieves his double "0" status. The opening credits also mark a departure from the Bond films of the past. Gone are the naked female silhouettes firing off guns, in are silhouettes of Bond dispatching bad guys. Chris Cornell sings the theme tune this time around and proves he's got a fantastic set of pipes.

Following on from the credits, Bond is in Madagascar chasing down a bomb maker. The chase scene is one of the more spectacular action scenes that I've scene in a long time. It involves a lengthy 'free running' chase up a half constructed building. Probably not giving a lot away when I say the bomb maker doesn't achieve his end goal, and after foiling another attempt to blow up an airliner, Bond is hot on the trail of a guy called Le Chiffre, a dodgy banker type who supports foreign terrorists. » Read the rest of the entry..

Ok, if your not a nerd, and have no idea what or who PayPerPost (PPP) is then you better go read there blog for a little while and then come back here when your done. It may clear a couple of things up that you may have read on here lately (why I was called a two-penny whore for example). If you are a nerd however, there is an interesting article on there about how search engines view PPP. It attempts to dispel a few of the urban legends going around in various forums, I'm not sure that it will put them to bed though. My guess is it will be just more fuel for the fire. » Read the rest of the entry..

The third in my world famous collection of piss weak, and in no way funny, cartoons is presented here for your viewing pleasure.

In other news, I screwed up my 'forum' again today! Woohoo, I'm a disgrace to the nerd community.

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 a rubbish team and then trade up. I like a challenge. One thing that bugged me was that without a good knowledge of real world stats, it can take a while to figure out who are the best shooters etc. without going through each players profile.

So what I've done is grab a list of the ratings for each player in the game (besides the free agent list) and sorted them to show the top players in each of my key categories. Firstly, I've got the best rated players by position, then I've got the list of the best rated players for three of the categories I think are most important if you want to dominate, 3 point shooting, dunking and offensive rebounding (clearly I'm not big on defence). » Read the rest of the entry..

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 album. He's one busy dude! I wonder if there'll be another Probot album? Anyway, besides the point. I'm hoping the Pick of Destiny rocks a lot harder than School of Rock or else Jack Black will have lost me forever. Will I buy the soundtrack? Probably not. Will I go see the movie? Gosh yes!

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 I'd end up carted away by guys in white coats or something!

Apparently the one issue with this guitar is that sometimes it is quite difficult to tune the G-string. Get it? HAHAHAMWAHAHA 

Here are a couple of choice pics » Read the rest of the entry..
