Afternoon Awwwww… Extreme Hamster Storage
Ok, folks, we’re continuing with our animals eating series. First was the hedghog then the cat & raccoon now we’ve got a hamster. This hamster decides to store what appears to be his own body weight in his cheeks. Then in a stroke of genius… it goes in reverse. Don’t take my word on it… [...]
Sad Mac
Well. My poor iMac seems to have shorted a backlight, or something. As you can see by my lovely iPhone pic, the lower half of my screen is all dark - makes things slower for moi. Hence the not much posting… need to bring it in to the see the Genius’s this weekend, hopefully it’s [...]

Breakfast Links: Apple, NIN & Trains
Bangin’ art for a post leap Monday.
This one’s making the nerd rounds - turns out Cosmopolitan has decided that Apple stores are the best place to look for a “fun fling” or “long-term relationship”! In brilliant link bait fashion it says “The vibe at the stores is conducive to man meeting too: You can [...]

Cover Story: One - REM v. U2
I love covers. I really love covers. I think it’s interesting to see how different musicians interpret the same song. I stumbled on this video of REM (with some U2 backup in Larry and Adam) covering One. Now, just so you know where I’m coming from a) I think One is an amazing song. Really [...]
Under Pressure?
Pressing down on you? That’s OK.
A handful of covers, the original and… Vanilla Ice. (oh, you have to wade in awhile to get the Keane one going)
This one went out to the one I love
R.E.M. just released like a boatload of videos for the first single off their new album under Artistic License 2.0, which is Perl’s OSS license. Good times. I would try and make a lot more R.E.M. references, but instead you can just read this one which does quite a good job of it - it’s [...]
Arcade Fire - Black Mirror
Have you already seen this? I guess you could call it a video for Arcade Fire’s Black Mirror? I’m not a real big Arcade Fire fan, which I guess is wierd since I seem to be working through an indie rock phase… but anyway, this could be old news. Anyhiz, here’s the thing - this [...]
Cube and Dre, in the beginning
The Jeff sent me this random link a bit ago - which subsequently linked to this shining bit of awesomeosity. Three tracks from ‘86 featuring a young Ice Cube and Dr. Dre. It’s so unfathomably great, they don’t know if they love the Beastie Boys or Run DMC more. In the first track it’s more [...]

Hip-Hop Violinist
Ok, in the same vein as the beatboxing flautist we have this violinist. I mean it sounds good, and I’m sure that if I had any musical skill beyond my mastery of the easy level of Rock Band, I’d try and hip up my rep with some hip-hop. But really, the only context in which [...]
Björk Attack!
So apparently Bjork attacked some photographer in NZ, ripping his shirt. Which is, y’know, whatever. Crazy people will be crazy, but - and I know this is like a year old or something - have you seen the video of her going haywire on some reporter in Thailand? One minute she’s trundling along behind her [...]
