To choose a gaming console
Edge gaming city by Gary Lucken
Warning! You’re about to read a very long post about me rambling about gaming consoles. Please be careful not to overly exhaust yourself while reading. Reader discretion is advised… So if you’re following me on Twitter or Facebook (which is very likely), you might’ve noticed I’ve been talking about gaming consoles, mostly about the differences between PS3 and...

My Amazon Wish List →
I made a wish list on Amazon. Just some books I’d like to own someday, mostly humorous or something techy. Feel free to have a look.

Mix tape
It’s been a while since I last posted something here, but let me explain before you’re going to hunt me down with pitchforks and torches. You see, I’m currently doing an internship which at the end (hopefully) will bring me a bachelor degree. And one of the things you’re not supposed to do there is writing wannabe memoirs for your personal blog, so there.
Anyway, to make...

Overheard
Librarian Woman: Do you know any typical 'guy books'?
Librarian Man: Guy books?
Librarian Woman: Yes, you know, books that guys usually read. I thought you'd know something.
Librarian Man: Oh I don't know, I don't read.
Librarian Woman: You don't read?
Librarian Man: No, I don't read anything at all actually.

Gaming rig (2)
So a while ago I was talking about what kind of ‘gaming rigs’ I used to have (in short: not much). I wasn’t really planning to get any new PC’s other than my laptop. That would just be confusing with trying to get all my documents and other work sorted and stuff. (Of course, we’ve got things like Dropbox now, but this was just after the .com crisis) I did want to have...

Tomorrow?
Random person: Hi
Me: Hey
Random person: Say, didn't you tell us that you were going to write a follow up article for 'Gaming rig'?
Me: Yes...
Random person: And didn't you say you were going to finish it 'tomorrow'?
Me: Yeess...
Random person: Well 'tomorrow' was about 2 days ago already!
Me: Your point being?
Random person: You're late!
Me: Well sometimes things just don't go as planned. I'm way too busy right now to write articles.
Random person: Right, but you do have time to write a ridiculous conversation where you're pretending to talk to some random person?
Me: Why yes, yes I do.
Random person: I don't get it
Me: Well, I guess that'll be one of life's great mysteries...
Random person: No it isn't!
Me: Shut up

Gaming rig (1)
I wouldn’t call myself much of a gamer. In fact, I rarely play them. But on the other hand I do love games, and in general they’ve always been an interest of mine.
So, what’s holding me back from actually playing a game? Well, mostly time shortage because of work, me being able to amuse myself just fine by browsing the internet and then there’s the fact that I really...

The agonising road to Macness - Hellooo?
I write an editorial on a website for wannabe Mac owners called MacDesperate. I copy-pasted the entire thing here just to give my own blog an update. I could’ve come with something original, I know, but screw you anyway…
Hi there! You still here? Me neither. Well I am now, but that’s not the point.
Anyway, we’ve had some developments during the last few months, mostly consisting of...

This site is actually an interactive music video made by Arcade fire. It requires Google Chrome to run, but it’s still real fun to see.

Personal blogs, still relevant?
Blogs. Who in their right mind is seriously maintaining their own personal blog these days? Everyone knows they’re basically ‘So 9 years ago’ and is there really anyone in this world interested in what kind of mundane things I do every day? No I didn’t think so either.
A few friends of mine tried to push me (yet again ) to relaunch my old myshuno.net website. It seemed...

Communication problems
Basil: May I ask what you expected to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically...?
Mrs. Richards: Don't be silly. I expect to be able to see the sea.
Basil: You can see the sea. It's over there between the land and the sky.
Mrs. Richards: I'd need a telescope to see that.
Basil: Well, then, may I suggest you move to a hotel nearer the sea? Or preferably in it.
