Hey Ho! Lets Go!
Talk about leaving it late to jump on the bandwagon, but hey, better late than never. A week ago I installed WordPress, customized the theme, made a header/logo and made multiple test posts and site tests, which leads us up to this moment – the official first post @ OrangeCup Central. I only decided I [...]
WordPress : Easy As Pie
I haven’t used any other blogging platforms or software, and at the moment I see no need whatsoever to do so thanks to WordPress. First thing I had to do was install WordPress into my hosting account, which I actually didn’t really have to do thanks to Fantastico which automatically did it for me (I [...]
New Zealand 80 x 15 Web Badge
In the early stages of creating this blog, I tinkered with the idea of adding some 80 x 15 web badges to the sidebar but then decided against it. As a proud Kiwi I really wanted to include a New Zealand button that wasn’t flag based (it’s too similar to the Australian one), but couldn’t [...]
The Replacements Weirds Me Out
Cliche as hell, predictable as shit and cheesy as fuck. Who ever wrote the script for this movie either went to the same screenwriting class that every other sports movie writer went to, or owns a copy of the “Writing a Hollywood Sports Movie for Dummies : Vol 10″ book because we’ve all seen a [...]
Pong Robot : The Harbinger of Death
You know the robot uprising and apocalypse is just around the corner when it’s kickin your ass @ pong. It has a webcam for eyes, solenoid fingers for typing and a laptop as its brain (for now), making it able to autonomously play a game of pong. All it needs next are guns – way [...]
I Don’t Get It?
I just finished reading the following at the IMDB : Despite presenting a night of reruns, CBS managed to fight off a slew of tough competitors Monday, and although it finished in second place, it scored some impressive numbers, especially with Two and a Half Men and CSI: Miami, both of which placed first in [...]
DMX : A Marketing Genius?
Just read the following @ Perez Hilton (and yes I am ashamed). After stealing a tray of food from the dining hall, DMX launched it at a corrections officer. He was also causing trouble earlier this month in the Tent City jail after refusing to show up for both his mandatory job and delegated medication [...]
Canon In D (Shred Style)
I’m not a classical music fan (but I do appreciate it), and it is my long held belief (ever since I saw Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure) that classical music and electric guitars were a match made in heaven by God herself. Pachelbel would totally think this is pimp.
Geekscape vs The Totally Rad Show
It’s amazing how two Interweb (that’s the cool way to say Internet) shows/podcasts about the same topics (comics, movies, video games and television) can be so different, especially considering the shared history between Geekscape and The Totally Rad Show. As I was watching episode 109 of Geekscape last night, the topic of TRS came up, [...]
The Living End : Live At Festival Hall
Last night I watched The Living End Live At Festival Hall DVD and was (unsurprisingly) fairly impressed. The amount of energy they put into their performance was amazing, and their musicianship was so tight (insert your own stupid virgin joke here) it was completely flawless (which is once again unsurprising). The reason I’m gushing about [...]
All Is Forgiven Paris Hilton
Don’t worry, I’m not a Paris Hilton fan and I don’t find her attractive (too skinny and too smug for my liking). But I’m not a hater like I used to be, in fact I kind of respect her (emphasis on kind of). Here’s why : A year ago I would have been totally pissed [...]
Dreams from My Father
I’m not an american, I’ve never been there and as an outsider (I’m a New Zealander) looking in, I’m surprised about how much the election of President Barack Obama affected me. First off I didn’t think he had a chance (but I didn’t write off all hope), and when he did win I think I [...]
Charley Boorman : By Any Means
My expectations for By Any Means wasn’t too high, but I did expect more, especially considering this is from (some of) the same team that brought us Long Way Round and Long Way Down. By Any Means, also known as Ireland to Sydney by Any Means, is a television series following Long Way Round and [...]
Chris Brown Taking Care Of Business
Current king of douchebags Chris Brown shows a 14 year old girl whats in store for her after cutting him off on a Jetski, but then decided to back off when her 8 year old brother showed up on the scene. Brown pleaded with the young boy and told him “I was just playin sir, [...]
Religulous
Just gotta start off saying that I’m not completely anti-religion and I’m not an atheist (I am however a weak agnostic), and I don’t engage in religious discussion because I don’t really care. I do have issues with fundamentalism, creationism, scientology and mormonism (everyone should) but have nothing against, and do not look down on [...]
Jonas Brothers : The Game
“We’re doing a TV show right now for Disney Channel,” Nick Jonas told MTV News of the upcoming comedy “J.O.N.A.S.” “And there might be a game.” But brother Joe had his own idea of how he’d like to see the game play out: “Like us, with swords.” His brothers didn’t seem too keen on the [...]
Atlantis The Palm Resort
So when I get my shit together and marry Oprah, I’ve decided we are going to have our honeymoon in Dubai and stay at the fabulous (holy shit, did I just use the word “fabulous”) Atlantis The Palm Resort for a couple of weeks. Don’t tell her, it’s a surprise. Atlantis is the majestic focal [...]
Asus Eee PC 1008HA Netbook
If you don’t know what to get me for my birthday, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Ramadan or Wednesday, then worry no more – just get me this netbook when it comes out. ASUS has taken the wraps off its latest Eee PC, the 1008HA we heard was on the way to follow up on the S101. [...]
Flight of the Lonely Island
Due to current media attention, I had to check out what all the hullabaloo was about concerning “Jizz in My Pants” from The Lonely Island. I loved what I heard and laughed my ass off, but then I thought to myself – Where have I heard this before? Then it hit me, reminds me a [...]
Green Lantern : Rebirth
I’m not an avid comic book reader but I do keep up with whats happening in the comic book world, and every now and then I’ll pick up a series and follow it through (the last being the superb “Y : The Last Man” which I read the majority of in just a couple of [...]
