ill-advised domain names

Domain names... the geek word for web addresses. These are a few real ones, (go on check em out) that really should have been thought out a bit better.

therapistfinder.com - a place to find your local shrink

whorepresents.com - where to find someone's agent, ie who represents them.

expertsexchange.com - specialists trade information about any topic they are experts in.

if anyone knows any other ill-advised domain names, please post them, and what their intentions were when they were deciding on a name...

The Simpsons, in real life!!!

The Simpsons come to life, click here

Ever wondered what the Simpsons would look like if they were in real life?? Well this video gives you the answer. It reenacts the opening sequence with real actors almost flawlessly (albeit with British variations).

The kid who plays Bart is pretty nifty on the skateboard, not only did he avoid getting run down by 'Marge', but he also performed the stunt by Bart (well I can't see any camera trickery, anyway) where he landed on Homer's (moving) car, and jumped to the ground.

Check it out! It's actually quite surreal how you recognise it, but yet is completely new.

Would a dictatorship be all THAT bad?: Sleepwalking into a dictatorship? I told you so!

Would a dictatorship be all THAT bad?: Sleepwalking into a Bliarite dictatorship? I told you so!

I know that I wrote the blog that this link originated from, but I think this issue is so important I'm going to start plugging it at every opportunity. Tony B. Liar is basically hi-jacking every institutional instrument in the country that prevents a dictatorship.

I was considering starting a chain-mail on the subject, considering all the absolute bollocks that I hear about in emails. (bottled kittens, and poor fictitious children spring to mind). Although, considering all the bollocks that gets forwarded, I don't actually think that anyone bothers reading emails anymore, and just mindlessly forwards them.

Apathy at work.

Just remember, all that is needed for evil people to thrive, is for good people to do nothing.

Yndi Halda have moved on to the next step

The rumours are circulating vigourously around the interweb that Yndi Halda, a band I mentioned on these pages a mere week ago, is EXTREMELY close to signing a deal with a major label. BMI is the name touted as the deal, but no official annoucements have been made by the band.
The band have been championed by the likes of Sigur Ros (they did a lot of the music for the Tom Cruise film, Vanilla Sky, and Mogwai.
This is the perfect opportunity to get one of the last few hand-made EPs, before they get officially pressed.
