Trent Reznor and the music gear behind the Fragile

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

This is one for the music geeks and gear whores. It’s an article about how certain sounds were obtained during the course of recording the Fragile. Mostly guitar related, so therefore I like it.

Young Modern | Silverchair | Album Review

Monday, April 16th, 2007

I have to admit, the first few times I listened to the first single from the new Silverchair album, Young Modern, I wasn’t all that impressed. Yet I found the chorus addictive and found myself singing it at the most inopportune of times. Clearly then, Young Modern was an album that demanded I give it [...]

The little Viewbar that could?

Monday, April 16th, 2007

Well, it’s 16 April 2007, and I haven’t received my email from AGLOCO telling me about whether or not I can get my hands on the Viewbar and start running with AGLOCO. I decided to check their company blog for updates and saw this: The team is currently integrating the Viewbar with the ad servers [...]

News Flash: Orangutan drinks its own pee

Friday, April 13th, 2007

There have been times when I have been incredibly thirsty… but I’ve never, ever, been this thirsty! When you consider the flexibility required to pull this off, it’s actually quite impressive. Don’t act like you’re not impressed! P.S Here’s the link to validate my Technorati Profile.

What I’ve learned about AGLOCO

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

Well with five days left until the latest due date for the AGLOCO Viewbar I thought I’d share a couple of things I’ve learned so far. 1. My referrals don’t produce a lot of referrals. As you can see from the stats below, I’ve referred 14 people directly, but of those 14, there have only [...]

Agent 47 set to star in his own film

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

One of the coolest games I’ve played on the Xbox lately is Hitman: Blood Money, the latest in the Agent 47 Hitman series. It’s freakin’ cool, and there are countless ways to complete the levels making it perfect for a second or third run through. Any how, I digress. This morning I read that a [...]

The Top 10 butterfaces in Hollywood

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

This is a sterling effort at providing a list of the top 10 ‘butterfaces’ in Hollywood. I have to confess, I didn’t know what a butterface was until Bean Bag Boy enlightened me. I have to say, I think it’s a little unfair that Christina Ricci made the list, but meh, maybe that’s just me.

Vote for Swollen Pickles in the Blogger’s Choice Awards

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

The title says it all really, head on over and vote for Swollen Pickles… please. Why should you vote for Swollen Pickles? Because I asked nicely, now go and vote!

“Coming soon” may be sooner than you think

Sunday, April 8th, 2007

The AGLOCO Viewbar has been “coming soon” for a while now, but finally it looks as though it’s about to make it’s public debut. This is from the AGLOCO blog: April is upon us, and as we have mentioned previously on this blog, the Viewbar is slated for release this month. We will be sending [...]

Aaron North guitarist for NIN

Friday, April 6th, 2007

Here’s a cool picture of Aaron North getting some serious hang time whilst performing with Nine Inch Nails. With a little more training he could become the next Michael Jordan! This photo was posted on nin.com a while ago. It’s a strange site navigation wise, but there is some cool stuff for the NIN fan.

Swollen Pickles in the top 11.63% of all AGLOCO members

Friday, April 6th, 2007

Logged into AGLOCO this morning to check the number of referrals I have. I’m currently sitting on 16 referrals. Clearly not big numbers, thats probably why I was surprised to see this message on my login screen: You rank in the top 11.63% of all members I want to crack the 20 referral mark, and [...]
