CNN calls Bill Gates on their copying the look of OS X
"Bill Gates dropped by CNN, only to be asked the question of questions: "Were you going after a specific look there, the Mac look?"
Response: "No, no, no... We're ahead on a lot... There's whole areas where we've innovated like Media Center and tablet..."
So to be clear, Vista doesn't look like OS X, Microsoft innovated Media Center. I see now. That's very logical."

Half Nelson
An inner-city junior high school teacher with a drug habit forms an unlikely friendship with one of his students after she discovers his secret. This movie was worth my time, if you have the chance rent or buy it! Trailer! Website! IMDB!

Another week filled with movies
Well I have been feeling ill the last few days and couldn't get myself to watch a lot of movies. Lets hope that this week will be more fruitful.
Blood Diamond
As always I think that even though Leonardo Di Caprio isn't a bad actor he isn't that good to play the main character in a movie. Besides that it is just an average movie that probably will score good enough at the box office.
Deja Vu
Hmmm, I didn't like and don't know why Denzel Washington act in such crappy movies.
This Film Is Not Yet Rated
A boring and childish stab at the MPAA for keeping the people who rate movies secret. Nothing new, not worth the time, the effort or the money.
The Prestige
A nice movie that does know how to keep your attention. At the end it almost looses it self in all the twists it has created. One or two would have been enough and kept me satisfied. Go see it.
Snowcake
An unusual story about an unusual friendship that somehow can only exist in movies. Not funny, not sad and definitely not in between, worth my time.

She's single again!
Ohhhhggrrrrwww. This is probably the most beautiful Dutch female ever. Wow, now that I'm on the look out, for a girlfriend that is, and she's is available again. I can continue dreaming that one day I might get close to having such a beauty in my arms, lol. But somehow I think that wouldn't have a chance.

Don't we all know those pesky little fat cells that shape us like a pear or a peach? And aren't we all to lazy to get up and go to the gym not the refrigerators and work that butt of?

Amazing Rap Impersonations
This is not for the old folks! Not that faul language is being used, it's for some U.S. radio station so you know there is no bad language. But the artist that does the impersonations flips through artist you probably don't know. Enjoy!!

February the 2nd!
I called my new ISP today to ask them again if they new when I could expect my modem. This time they gave me a date, February the 2nd. internet wise I wish I never moved, what a sorry excuse for an ISP. I means I have to take a day of from work to wait until my modem arrives because I couldn't change the delivery address. Those crappy inflexible ISP should be shot.

El Gordo at the movies
This last week I've been watching a lot of movies, somehow I've got my movie watch freakness back. I'm going to tell you wich ones I've seen and you can click on the link to the IMDB page to see if it's something for you!
Hard Candy
Little red riding hood takes a tour through thriller ville! A good movie but bad direction, it could have been so much more!
Little Miss Sunshine
I don't understand the high rating and thought it was mediocre but he who am I to judge a movie.
Dreamgirls
Hmmmm, I don't like movies that are too much like a musical. But overall, with all the chocolate flavored ladies I say, bring me some more.
SherryBaby
Nice, but just as mediocre as Little Miss Sunshine.
Rocky Balboa
Well, they at least tried to make a movie with a story of this one. Ohhh, Rocky wins again, morally speaking.
The Holiday
Chickflick!!!
Deck the Halls
Christmas Crap, need I say more?
The Good Shepherd
Nice attempt to make a classic, but it could have used a better actor for lead.
Night at the Museum
Again some family flick from Ben Stiller. It felt too much like a Disney flick.
The Illusionist
Not impressed by it, but nice for a casual movie night
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning
I was surprised about the fact that it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
I have seen more, yes in little more the a week or so, but can't come up with the titles now, argh!!!

Smoking is bad for your health!
This is the Thai way to say that smoking isn't a healthy habit. Like if I didn't know that. They also say it kills you! Doesn't life it self make everyone vulnerable for death? At least enjoy the pics.

Marc Ford It's About Time
Shining Again
Two Mules And A Rainbow
Most people close to me know that I'm a big Marc Ford fan. Especially when he fills the spot of lead guitar with The Black Crowes. Well he's out of the Black Crowes again and focusing on releasing a new album. The album above he already made and I wanted to point out his ability as a songwriter. Shining Again is my favorite. Enjoy!

Michael Pickett - Terraplane Blues (Live)
I've got this send to me by Michael Pickett via YouTube, well probably someone who runs his profile up there. I might like this Michael said and I did. A musical kind of spam you might say and now I'm spreading the Michael Pickett vibe. He plays a Robert Johnson tune. Performed in concert at Victoria Playhouse. Victoria By The Sea, PEI Canada July 2003. Enjoy!

Mindstorms Car Factory
I saw one of the 'Internet Nerds'(sorry Almeric) here at work look at this video on YouTube. He said he thinks that is the bomb and wishes he had the money to buy it. This way I found out that Mindstorms is some high tech version of Lego. So, look at the video of some geek that made his own Mindstorms Car Factory!

Matt Schofield Trio Live
Seeing The Matt Schofield Trio opening last year for the Derek Trucks Band was a blessing. Never had I seen such a good opener at a gig and almost worried if the DTB could top that. Well DTB blew the MST away but that's not something to be ashamed about. It made me think when I was still playing and I didn't have problems with my left wrist from playing. Because somehow it made me think about a former teacher of mine Jaap Berends, he could play the blues with such a fusion feel. Maybe Jaap was more freaky with it he has had lessons from Scott Henderson. I wonder what happened to JayBee? That doesn't really matter because I have a clip of the MST, look at it, enjoy it or loath it.
