As I promised while having a go at the Asus EeePC 900 I would do a quick look at the MSI Wind which I ordered at the same time. Please note throughout this "preview" that this particular model had a regular SATA drive, that is a mechanical disk drive, as opposed to a Solid state […]

Behold the EYE MASSAGER from the 1920s: Apparently it was not enough to have a gadget for massaging the body. By the 1920s, it was also deemed necessary to devise a mechanism to massage the eyeballs. This convoluted gadget was pressed to the face. The user would then operate the small lever to compress the […]
And back again..
Now I’m even back at work. That’s it, the summer of music is over, as is my holiday. Next up: SEMINAR OF DEATH followed by parties. Where they don’t serve food, but small open sandwiches with fancy names. It’s drawing near to the end now, the end of the summer in its entirety, and with […]
On the boat again…
Bollicks to this, I’m off to Copenhagen to drink some Elephant Beer.
Bigfoot finally proved?
I’m an avid reader of various cryptozoology sites, that is, websites covering the news of cryptids and the cryptozoology community. A ‘cryptid’ is any creature unknown to science that exist or previously existed and has been described in folklore and legends. Take the dragon of the fairy tale for instance.

He did it again. Pauly forgot my piece! This sure brings back some memories from early childhood… You see, this was way back in the day, during the depressions (yeah, plural) and my mother had barely given birth to me before she forgot me in the bus stop outside the hospital. There were no ambulances […]

That was mainly thanks to Michael Jackson, computer games and a fuck-all sentiment towards the world, which ironically made me a […]
I was sick of it before it started
I was going to blog yesterday about the Tom Waits concert and our trip to Dublin but when I turned on the radio to have an afternoon nap, I was ambushed by the sounds of shelling, shooting and people in pain. The sound of a man wailing outside a bombed building with a vain hope […]
A quick look at Asus' Eee PC 900 16G Linux
I got into the office this evenong to do some audio recording. I’m still on holiday so I wasn’t intending to do any work, but at my desk I found three packages I’ve been expecting for a long time: the Lenovo ThinkPad X300, an MSI Wind and the Asus EeePC. In my line of work […]
All my subdomains (except www) REMOVED
Just thought I’d give you a heads up. I haven’t had the time, energy or willpower to make an effort to update this site for a while, but things are changing. Especially since Koew gave me so many good recommendations for reading material on design, usability, flexibility, search engine optimization, premature porn prevention and general […]
