Happy 15th Birthday to the ol’ WWW. Without it I wouldn’t be here, and neither would you for that matter. [via]
Usually I keep up on these small kinds of landmarks, but yesterday marked the 3rd anniversary of this era of blogging for me… 3 years and I’m not famous yet, what’s up witdat??
So yeah, 3 years, 4 versions and countless wasted hours now reside in my archives, and one day this year (really this time) I’ll finally be able to push that big “import” button and hopefully I’ll have the 2000 to 2003 era in here too then it’ll be nearly 6 years of blogging…
6 years and I’m not famous yet, what the hell is up witdat??
Goggles, the google map flight simulator. A little bit of fun, you can fly around a few cities in a little plane… And you wannabe terr’rrists can crash it too.
Travis Pastrana nails a killer double backflip on a dirtbike in the X-Games. Yep, two backflips on a moto-x bike, insane… How about some slo-mo replay?
Imagine the scenario, Robyn and I have just been to see Greg Proops for the 3rd time in as many years. Apparently he likes visiting Georgia in the height of summer when, as he puts it, it’s just slightly warmer than the planet Mercury…
Anyways, it was a funny show from a funny guy, alas we didn’t get to hang out with him in the bar afterwards like last time but I did run into someone quite unexpected. So yeah, imagine the scenario, I’ve drank a fair few large cokes as I’m now the unofficial designated driver of our family, which is strange as Robyn thinks I’m about to kill us at any given moment on the road, and as such my bladder is pretty damn full, so I’m waiting in the mens room with the rest of the Greg Proops audience (or so it seems), and I’m next in line… But the guy in front was taking an absolute age, and when he’s finished and turns around, it’s freaking Dave! As in Triple D… And the first thing he does? Shakes my hand like straight after pissing…
Seriously!
Good thing I’m not a hygiene freak or that might have been weird, well weirder than it needed to be. But it’s funny who you meet on a Friday night in Roswell…
Have Samuel L. Jackson call up your friends and threaten them to go see Snakes On A Plane. Ingenious marketing…
Thanks Shelbinator, I’ve only been using this Mac a week and already my grand dreams of security flaw invincibility has been shot down in flames.
Ahhh well, it was fun while it lasted…
You never know what you’re getting with a Kevin Smith movie, it might be another Chasing Amy or it might be another Jersey Girl… Clerks II has had divided opinions also, on one hand it got an 8 minute standing ovation at the Cannes film festival, on the other, movie critic Joel Siegel walked out after 40 minutes appearently screaming obsenities…
So without further adieu.
10 years removed from the goings ons in the original Clerks film, the Quick Stop has recently burned down and Dante and Randal are working in a fast food joint called Mooby’s. After a year there, Dante is finally leaving the job, Randal and indeed New Jersey for a new life in Florida with his finacee… But never let something like a happy ending get in the way of the life of our favourite clerks, so we follow the ups and downs of Dante’s last day, because it wouldnt be a View Askew film without some trials and tribulations involving the main characters?
But be warned, if your easily offened then this might not be for you, it’s rated r for a good reason, put it this way, Joel Siegel walked out due to Randal talking about a donkey show, had he stayed to the end he probably would have had a stroke. Yes, there is an actual donkey show scene… But it’s not all offensive, it’s actually very funny too, espesially if you like previous Kevin Smith films…
Shame you people in the UK have to wait till god knows when to actually see it.
What heat index?
Somedays I wonder why I chose to live here, usually the days in between late May and early September… During those days I realise why it’s called Hotlanta and why no one born in Atlanta ever lives here anymore, they’re the smart ones, leaving us relocated settlers to spontaniously combust.
Goodbye old PowerPC G5′s
And just for shits and giggles, how much would a maxed out Mac Pro cost?
Only $19,959.48, I should hope free shipping comes with this considering tax alone is more than some PC’s out there, it’s also larger than some African countries GDP… For that amount of money I’d be expecting something like Deep Thought in return, and the Time Machine function in OSX Leopard damn well better take me back in time, 1.21 gigawatts or no…
That said, send PayPal donations to the usual address…
