Brilliant

Random flickr finds as I was doing some research...

Extremely clever composition, and a great title, "Washington, DC on $85 a Day."


An excellent shot of French electronic group Justice's show setup. The symbolism, the power...


...and this will only be meaningful if you've ever worked in IT (or a related department)...

Top-__ Most Anticipated Albums of 2008

At the moment, my CD wishlist is about 40 entries long (though it's all old(er) material), but here's the unreleased stuff I'm most excited about (it is bound to grow in the coming days)...

Untitled (3rd Studio Album) - Matisyahu
Untitled (3rd Studio Album) - Imogen Heap
The Anti-Mother - Norma Jean
Untitled (2nd Studio Album) - Family Force 5

I'm finishing up a project for a client today, and (as usual) a media search on the web brought me down a completely different path, culminating in my discovery of this amazing quartet of words: Boreal (or Septentrional), Austral, Occidental, and Oriental. While the majority already were in my vocabulary, the fact that they form this elite, four-member association was fascinating. Kind of like when an algorithm makes you see how amazingly integrated the language of mathematics is, or when you see how thorough G-d has been in every aspect of creation (though the latter cannot compare with the former). Wow.

Goodies. Woo-hoo!

Vinyl is a format I have wanted to delve into for some time now, though its exotic nature means that much of my favorite music will never see light on the medium. The fact that my favorite band is Demon Hunter (Christian metal band) makes that prospect all the more bleak.

However, I was overwhelmed to find out last week that they would be releasing their latest, "Storm the Gates of Hell," on double 12" white vinyl. Oh my goodness. This was over before it started. Two copies, please. Plus, since I'm in The Blessed Resistance, I get them signed; now, I'm not a major proponent of fan clubs (and the 'geekiness' implicit in belonging to one), but sometimes you just cannot beat the perks. Hahahaha. Now I just need DH to follow suit with "Summer of Darkness."


On a different front,I don't know if I'm outgrowing gaming or if the quality has simply diminished. An argument for the latter is that I still love a good SFC, N64, or Dreamcast game. At the moment I cannot accurately estimate the number of systems (and subsequent games) that I have owned since my childhood, and in hindsight, I regret having sold them all (though, after all, one was always sold for another).

Part of collecting (anything) is the hunt (and anticipation, and waiting), so it's been admittedly fun roaming about on the look for the old games/systems which I so once cherished. The fact that I now only buy Japanese systems adds a further level of authenticity that I now feel their English counterparts lack. The newest addition:


Now, I just need one of these to show its face:


I just realized something - maybe playing games and listening to heavy music is a prerequisite for having a Computing degree. Hahahahaha.

Gwen Stacy is awesome

Why?

I'd rather waste my time on a figment of her perfection than the reality of -... hey, my keyboard works!

Drake & Josh is always on Nickelodeon here in Ireland, so I've become a fan. Clean, wholesome, honest, funny... how could I not love it? Well, I saw that D&R co-star Josh Peck was in the new film, 'Drillbit Taylor', so...

It was definitely funny. Didn't offer anything new, but there were some good laughs and very awkward one-liners (like when one of the co-stars is told by his stepfather, "...and put some posters of chicks up on these walls. It's like a geek paradise in here!"). Hahahaha. It was... worth the money.

...and this is why "When I Am God" is on top of my summer 'To Buy' list...

Oh, so that's what it's called.

Goodnight, Lord. I love You.
