There are two types of Internet users, those that use RSS and those that don't. This video is for the people who could save time using RSS, but don't know where to start.

Great video to show Moms and friends who don't RSS!

OLPC OS, The Future...

Wednesday, April 11, 2007


One Laptop Per Child Linux OS now available. I shall download and try it on my macbook. I always thought one of these stripped down laptops would be good for touring bands. Biodiesel and OLPC Laptops and free album on bit-torrent is the future? It actually still surprises me that with all these community sites and everything bands are still thinking they have a "big chance" to be "rockstars", when in reality they have to wake up and realize we are all in this together and really redo the independent music code of ethics that doesn't really exist anymore since 1999.

Rocketslime

Tuesday, January 02, 2007


When not mixing and not eating holiday and post-holiday food I find myself gaming when i want to wind down and clear the brain, this is of course when I choose to not take a walk amongst the winding Bucharest city streets. The game of choice aside from Contact (see post below) is Rocketslime. It's based on the Dragon Warrior world and consists of a small slime that must save his kingdom of Slimenia. The gameplay is jumping and slimeattacks (stretching yourself and shooting your body at enemies) and extensive tank battles (which are rather addictive). It's an overall simple game but if you love japanese animated absurdity and just good old school minded gaming with a twist of a RPG, this is it! My pick of 2006!
