Blades of Glory (Movie Review)

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

Will Ferrell could take a dump in my letter box right now and I’d laugh. He’s funny. Wet your pants style funny. I’d been waiting to see Blades of Glory since I saw the first promo. Will Ferrell, spandex, figure skating, all the elements were in place. As the cinema curtains drew back, I was [...]

Shrek knocked up

Friday, June 29th, 2007

I love when signage goes bad. Well, I’m off to see ‘Knocked Up’ this weekend, perhaps “Pirates Knocked Up Shrek” is the sequel?

Don’t get ripped off by fake Gibson guitars

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

I’m a massive guitar whore, so consider the following a public service announcement. Gibson are one of the biggest names in guitars. They are also quite expensive. Little wonder then that a massive counterfeit market has emerged. So your buying a new Les Paul, but have never had the opportunity to play the real thing [...]

John Stamos re-loaded

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

John Stamos has lived the high life. First there was Full House, then married to Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, and now the interview that stopped a nation. Kerry-Anne isn’t known for her hard hitting interview style, but maybe getting her guests loaded pre-interview is a new approach to gain some extra information out of them? WPvideo 1.10 [...]

The ongoing HP saga

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

Well, it has now been well over a week since my HP notebook was sent back for further repairs. Thankfully it’s still under warranty. Today I had what could be a minor break through. The repairer will attempt one more fix, if that doesn’t work, my notebook will officially be announced dead, or the distant [...]

There is more to Frank Miller than Sin City

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

As my ‘graphic novel’ fixation has increased, I’ve found myself doing an increasing amount of ‘research’ on the subject. This has led to a number of startling revelations. One of the most surprising (for me at least), was the career of Frank Miller. I’m guessing that I’m not different to a lot of people when [...]

Worlds Ugliest Dog

Monday, June 25th, 2007

Here’s one for the dog lovers. The prize for the “Worlds Ugliest Dog” has been awarded. Apparently the winner is some sort of Chihahua mix, with a Gene Simmons like tongue. I’m not convinced that it’s really a dog at all! It looks strikingly similar to Spike from Gremlins! So similar in fact that I [...]

The ultimate grudge match – truck vs. wall

Saturday, June 23rd, 2007

Ever wondered what would happen if a fully laden truck hit a wall? Well watch the video to find out. WPvideo 1.10 03:38 Clearly the truck does not have a good day!

The 305 video, the Office meets 300

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

Here’s a little cracker of a video. It’s kind of like 300 had intercourse with the Office, and nine months later, this was the result. WPvideo 1.10 04:53

Finally starting to see some AGLOCO activity

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

I can finally report some further activity in my AGLOCO account. As you can see from the screen grab below, I’ve started building ‘surfed hours’. What this actually means, remains to be seen.

Creating the perfect wordpress theme: part two

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

Thanks to the advice of Deaf Musician, I’m put together a list of blogs that are running themes that I like, or more specifically feature elements I would like to incorporate into my ‘perfect’ theme. Amongst other things, a lot of blogs listed are ones that I read regularly (or at least when I get [...]
