Street Musicians

Genuinely the best website I have found all year.

Blogotheque - The Take Away Show

Sessions of Bands and artists playing in obscure places across Paris; some playing whilst walking along a street, another in a lift, in the metro, on the back of a pick up truck... and the music selection is top notch; Arcade Fire to Yeasayer to Of Montreal to Andrew Bird.

Cool thing to do of the week

Assuming you have Facebook,

Settings > Account Settings > Languages

Set as English (Pirate)

Amusing for about 5 minutes

Anyway as you might have noticed I'm giving this blog much less time than I used to. Partly due to having less free time (Read: Real life actually getting more interesting(There now I've jinxed it)), don't be surprised if I go weeks without posting.

Exeunt, Dan


Hmm. On second thoughts I should post summat random.
Old, and I've only watched a minute thus far but it looks amusing enough.

Ok this pretty cool

http://wordle.net/

Id seen this site before but it just became infinitely more awesome with added blog support. Pretty much just had words from that mammoth Reading post I did but there we are.

WOW how exciting!! That last post was my 100th. What a milestone. It was also quite random. Anyway, lesson of the day

- If you plan on using your computer and itunes as an alarm clock, don't forget to take out your headphones before you go to bed

Also, new best site ever

Food Porn Daily

Failblog

Heh




Moar

Burn.

You know you're a geek when... Cubecraft

- You laugh at chemistry jokes

- The best news of the week is that Ricky Gervais is appearing in GTA IV (!!! FUCK YES!!)

- You spend literally minutes constructing some like This


I made it thanks to a template from Cubecraft, who give a new template once a week. Naturally i had to make Zoidberg...


And all without any glue!! Very cool. And you may notice he lacks a left arm, as i cocked it up...

Actually scratch that...

Much more cool,

Coolness :D

I can almost taste the joys of mixtapes...

Win of the week:

Discovering Megadownload

http://megadownload.net/

Searches megaupload for whatever. Extremeingly useful, as megaupload and rapidshare are both about 10x faster than torrents.

Last.fm

Probably the best site since i found youtube.

Late jumping on the bandwagon i know...

But it's just fantastic. And it will no doubt eat up my bandwidth...

(too lazy to say exactly why it's so good)

Why Opera > your internet browser - Review of sorts

Opera is pretty much the one thing that keeps me from picking up my computer and chucking it accros the room on a regular basis. Heres a screenshot of me running it and a list of 5 awesome features it has.



1 - Tabbed browising - Actaully works, brilliantly, unlike ie, which dies once you have more than about 3 tabs open. Also it had it before ie and hence they copied it...

2 - Mouse gestures - (not seen) Just hold right click, move the mouse to the left, and let go, and voila, you go back a page!! So much easier and quicker than pressing back, or backspace. Also you can clone pages to a new tab just as easily.
This feature warrants the download in itself; saves so much time, becomes invauable.

3 - You can customise EVERYTHING - I made mine red with this nice theme. You can have it looking like ie / firefox if you prefer, or download whatever theme you liek on the site.

4 - Speedial - main page shown - opens when you click a new tab. Practically like having 9 homepages

5 - Add shortcuts to sites on the toolbar; incase opening a new tab wasn't quick enough

Of course there are many more great things; saving sessions, widgets, much more, and it just seems generally faster, and in every way better than internet explorer. Do yourself a favour, ownload it, NOW

Ha, wikipedia

This website shows the top 100 most viewed articles on wikipedia in november

Here are my favorites
8 - Deaths in 2007 (Why are so many people searching that?
17 - List of sex positions
18 - Sex (evidently many people are unsure what this is and need to read up on it
29 - Masturbation
32 - Sexual intercourse
43 - Anal sex
68 - Pornography
75 - Penis (again, people need to find out what this is?)
98 - Vagina

Bear in mind that these all got at least 2 million hits
Basically the internet is full of a bunch of freaks

Urban dictionary

Here are just 4 of the many defintitions from urban dictonary

Emo

Like a Goth, only much less dark and much more Harry Potter.
My life sucks, I want to cry.

Geek

Not to be confused with Nerd. A geek does not have to be smart, a Geek is someone who is generaly not athletic, and enjoys Video Games; Comic Books; being on the internet, and etc.
Only a geek would waste their time on the internet, defining geek on urbandictionary.com

Trees

A word for pot, parent friendly
Mom: where are u off to
Kid: to get some trees
Mom: o thats nice

Myspace

Why myspace sucks and so do you

1) Cool New People - No. These schmucks are not "Cool." The fact that they are the first thing you see when you log on is a fucking travesty. Why anyone would label these folks "Cool" is beyond our comprehension. At this point we wanted to turn back, but we forged on through the terror in the name of science.

2) Your Goddamn Pictures - "Hay guyz i hav this gr8 idea i think i shud take a pikkchur of myself in da mirrur holding teh camerah at a weiurd angle isnt that original guyz? Am i rite?" Believe it or not, we've caught on to your little tricks. We know that you are fat, ugly, have one eye, and shitty skin, and the crappy emo picture isn't fooling anybody. If you have the inclination to be really artsy, alternative, and original, and if you feel that taking a photo of yourself in the bathroom mirror is the way to do it, at least have the decency to wipe your dried jizz off the mirror. Oh but wait, there in the "View more pics" section you have those cute pictures of you and your buddies with beer in your hand. OMG GUYZ ITS BEER AND WE'RE LIKE 2TALLY UNDERAGE HOW BADASS ARE WE. Grow the fuck up, no one cares. And then you selfish bastards crop your friends out of the pictures so we all know who the attention whore is. We can clearly see their shoulder floating next to you.

3) About Me - Chances are no one comes to your MySpace to learn about how you "dont hav much 2 say" about yourself. These over-glorified AIM profiles contain some of the most useless crap ever to bombard our eyes. If you feel it is appropriate to contribute any information to this section, you're wrong. Save everyone the trouble of reading about your generic, pointless life and do something more productive. Like getting hit by a bus.

ect ect

Thats right, i copyed and pasted a loada stuff so you all thought id done a proper entry, ha. Bitch.

On a completely unrelated note,


Dunno how they're selling so good, i've had one for a couple years, and iv only bought about 5 games for it...

And lastly some dude said he'd make me a banner this weekend. How sweet will that be!?! Not very.

Tv-links hath shutdown - alternatives

As im sure you know, the popular neat and generally kick ass tv-links.co.uk was shut down a couple weeks back. To people like me, who had been watching stuff like heroes and lost via it, this came as some fucking annoying news. But here we go with a list of alternative site to replace tv links. God im too kind to you invisible readers.

1 - Alluc.org - I was actually using this beforetv-links and its very good. Not quite as clearly laid out and not as regularly updated, but a good 2nd best.

2 - http://flickpeek.com/ - Adverty cluttered and messy but still does it's job

3 - http://powerflv.com/ - Has like tons and tons of stuff, seems pretty sweet.

and not forgetting the sites the they all link to; dilymotion.com , divx at stage6 (Sweet quality), and the best, VEOH.com
Veoh is awesome, but sadly their now making people download their web player thing to watch videos. Which is shit. But, it works well so it's not too bad.

Point is, with all them sites, your streaming needs should be covered. Sweet.

Cybertwin = DUDE! WIN!

So this thing, it's actually properly awesome. It's like one those robot personalities that you, once in your life, probably wasted 5 minutes on.

But yeh, you can like, set your personality to it an stuff, which is great. And then you put it on your myspace or whatever and it records the conversations people have with it.


Sweet.

EDIT: Shit, the embedding won't work. What a loada cock. Try this http://mycybertwin.com/chat/dan%20lol%20trees You might need an account. Totally worth it an stuff though.

Artpad at Art.Com

So i rediscovered the best site ever the other day

ARTPAD

http://artpad.art.com/gallery/?jqunf3lwhsw

Basically its a site where you draw whatever, then get its saved and once you click the link it plays it back to you, kinda like a timelapsey thing. The site is nice and easy to use, especially once you got the hang on the whole opacacy whatnot.

That link up there goes to one by me. It's Nyu from the anime Elfen Lied. Im pretty chuffedish. yeh....
