Someone has created a 'make your own play them off keyboard cat'
How simply delightful.

EA Live.
The other week i was listening to the US PGA as i don't have Sky Sports and i was thinking.
I own an Xbox 360, i also own Tiger Woods 10.
Why can't i watch live events through these sports games? Why can't we have EA Live?
For example, i imagine Tiger 10 has all the 3D models of all the player on the tour, if not then get them, each shot played in real time in a golf major say, could very easily and quickly be plotted into the game so that i can then watch live events inside EA's games and not have to pay for Sky.
I could choose my angles, move from hole to hole, see the scoreboards, read feeds etc etc.
Then i was thinking, well why not do this with F1, Moto GP, boxing, football, athletics, with all of the real time events being plotted into the games and played out a minute or 2 later, sort of live.
This works doesn't it? And is a brilliant idea?
EA would also have their own commentators at events and their commentary would get played out in game.
Is this going to make me rich? I do hope so.

The Ride.
The Ride is a journal that contains stories from may different riders and how it has changed their life.
From BMXer's to track riders it tells stories of people on 2 wheels.
Then, once they had all the stories they contacted photographers, illustrators and artist to make it look super good.
I will be getting me a copy.
Brilliant!

Caster Semenya.
This story is brilliant!
There's this bloke called Caster Semenya who has passed himself off as a girl and is now the new world women's 800m champion.
The governing body have gone 'hang on, you are a man' He has obviously put on a women's voice and gone 'no i'm not, i like Lisa Stansfield and everything'.
They now want him to do a gender check.
Just pull his pants down governing body.
If he has a dong then ban him, if he has a bottom then congratulate her.
Excellent!
365 Days of Danboard.
Most glorious, most brilliant, most magical.
Danboard you have made me happy, not that i wasn't before Danbaord, just a bit happier through seeing you.
Mad bike skills.

I always said that girls don't know how to ride bikes, this proves my point exactly.
Dead Nation.
This looks bleedin* awesome.

PK Ripper Fixed Gear.
This is to much.
I love bikes, i love BMXing, i now love the fact that they have given the PK Ripper a new lease of life.

Sing Nicholi, sing!
This little dude in Americans is using the Apple store in NYC to make movies.
Good lad, soon he will be in the pop charts i am sure.
Thank you Peter.
I hope who soon does Chip Dippy Chip, infact, we should be able to request tunes for Nicholi to do, Nicholi, you listening?

Grab it Pack.
Whatever is this?
Apparently it has been designed by a Hollywood stuntman.
Apparently 'is a fanny pack minus the dork factor and also stays out of your way'
Uhhh, it is a ridiculously huge fanny pack, that make you look a dork and would well get in your way!!
Whatever happened to pockets?
Rather than carry a tool the Grab it Pack makes you look like a tool.
Colt Seavers obviously had nothing to do with this.
Trolley.
Pretty sweet little movie about a trolley.
Nicely shot, some nice angles, awful continuity in regard to the blanket, first right, then left, then seat, then left again.
Bad bad bad. The d-evil is in the d-tail!

Greenland.
Joel Tettamanti is a bit of an explorer/photographer/traveller type who likes nothing more than taking a good photos.
Check out his work, some amazing amazing compositions, not forgetting the builds themselves.
I want to go to Greenland please.
Say cheese...
...or i'll shot your with my camera.
Imagine Terry, 39, trying to take this on his hols to the Canary Islands.

Dieter Rams.
A magic Flickr group which contains work from Dieter Rams who was the former head of design at Braun.
Beautiful, simple, stylish design masterpieces.
My Dad had the above electric shaver, i remember loving it when i was a lowercase h.
Dieter Rams? Does he?
Johnnie Walker.
A lovely film for Johnnie Walker.
An advertising agency thinking slightly wider than normal, smashing work indeed.
P.S. I think Robert Carlisle is the Scottish equivalent of Antoine de Caunes. Always trying to sound overly Scottish.

Oxymorons.
Is the above film the most oxymoronical film ever made?
Is Leslie Mann funny?
Her name is.
'Mum, i have something to tell you, i'm a Leslie Mann'
Miraculous beauty.
Imagine if everything in the world was as beautiful as this.
Esteban Diácono you have made a sad man happy.

Where I Write.

A lovely idea showing where authors scribe their works.
Shame i haven't heard of many of them, but then i am an undereducated heathen.

TacheLack©
TacheBack is obviously on the horizon where everyone grows a moustache for a good cause.
Well i have had an idea.
I have a moustache, as do an awful lot of people.
So, i give you TacheLack©
TacheLack© is where all the people who have moustaches shave them off and remain clean shaven for a month.
Imagine all the big hitters without their trademark tache.
Branson, Edmonds, Lynam, Forsyth, all shaved for a month, and all for charity.
Anyone know who setup Tacheback? Let me know if you do, TacheLack© deserves to live.
Guitar Hero v Rubik's Cube.

Uhhhh, yeah, whatever.
This chap solves Rubik's cubes and plays well hard Guitar Hero!
Fool! I can like watch The One Show AND scratch my balls. So?
Tim Key.
I went to the Edinburgh Festival over the weekend.
It was brilliant.
I saw some performances, some of which where brilliant and i liked them...
...and some of which were not my cup of tea.
But see this post as advice.
Over the next 20 days, get in a train, plane, bus, yak, car, even on a bike, and go to Edinburgh and see Tim Key perform.
His show is amazing and needs to be watched. You will not be disappointed! If however you are disappointed then go and see The Penny Dreadfuls as it might be more your cup of tea.
Hmmm, a pot of Tim Key please, no, no sugar.

BMX Factor.
So when i was a little boy, back in 1991, me and my friends rode BMX's, that is what little boys did, we didn't have knives and attitude, we just rode our BMX's and did stunts and things, although i do remember Judge once jumping over a knife on the cricket pitch, so perhaps we did have them.
Anyway, it was recently the BMX Worlds in Cologne in Germany. Just like in most BMX competitions people jumped, span, flared, crashed, flipped, 540ed, tail whipped and all that.
But at the same time there were a bunch of chaps cherrypicking, miami hoppering, hurricaning, boomeranging, balancing and endoing, as they had a 25 year reunion of some of chaps that were around when i was BMXing.
Totally amazing to see all the old styles filmed using today's cinematographic techniques.
Wonderful and brilliant.
Brain Blyther, i still salute you.

Army of Two more.
The sequel to Army of Two - 40th Day, is coming out soon, so they thought they would make this. I'm glad they did.
Rather good i think.
Rather good i think.
The Lovely Bones.
A new film from Peter Jackson is on the way.
Based on the book by Alice Sebold, The Lovely Bones looks like it could be pretty dark, i do hope it is.
The footage of the murdered girls world look pretty nice, somewhere between heaven and earth.
It's over.
It is that time of year again.
Generally i am a pretty chipper chap, but it is around this time of year when i get low and sad.
It isn't the weather, nor is it the fact that the nights are getting darker already.
It isn't the books i choose to read, or the music i listen to.
No.
It is the fact that the f'cking football season is back!
Every year i loathe it more and more!
I have loved the cricket, the swimming, the tennis, the golf, even the f*cking F1!
But here we go, every leading sports news story from here til June will be about football.
Even winning the ashes will probably be eclipsed by whether Steve Coppell is going to buy the brown or black leather sofa from DFS.
I now officially hate football, it has been on the cards for the last 4 or 5 years, but it is now fact.
Football, fact off!

The Sarlacc Pit.
Who didn't enjoy The Sarlacc Pit?
Han, shooting, Chewy, holding, Lando, falling, Boba Fett, dying, all because of The Sarlacc Pit.
Well, now you can get one of your own.
What a sheer pleasure.
Flipside.
When ever i go on holiday i always take a little plastic card carrier with me, just so i don't have to carry a big wallet around with me.
Pete was the one that inspired me to try it out after seeing that he carried one.
Well, as a result, i think i will be getting me one of these little homies.
What's more it has an RFID theft shield to stop your cards getting scanned by them clever little street dwellers.
Splendid.
Sticky Light!
Anything with lasers in is cool in my eyes, although don't shine lasers in my eyes, unless i have asked you to because you are a Doctor and i want better eye sight.
Yes Sticky Light!

Bike v Art.
In my eyes i own the second best looking motorcycle the world has ever seen.
This of course being 'numero uno'*.
Both of the above examples demonstrate art and engineering coming together in beautiful harmony.
When art and engineering come together in beautiful harmony it is a glorious thing.
However, when it is not harmonious it can be equally pleasant.
I give you The F131 Hellcat Combat from Confederate.
That is art and engineering running into each other cocking fast.
Splendid!
The Wraith ain't bad either.
As for the Fighter!! My my my.
Thanks art and engineering.
* Just to let you know, it might appear i can speak Italian from this phrase, i can't. Capisca?
Gnarly dude!
Instead of having a snowboard competition where all the chaps and ladies go big to win, Transworld Snowboard magazine held a competition where the winner was decided on who made the best 5 minute film and took the best 10 photos.
What a brilliant idea.
So it wasn't just about the riders, it was about the photographers and film makers too. Creativity winning!
Oh yes, and we know who won, but as yet you can only get the winning film on itunes in the States of Americans.
Art is good.
I recently went to see Banksy in Bristol, he was well, he sent his love, he had even got the garibaldi biscuit in, i felt very special.
Anyway, after seeing all the new work he has done i quickly worked out that this...
...was my one of my favourite pieces. It is apparently 'a representation of Mary and Joseph fleeing to Egypt, so as to protect baby Jesus from being killed by King Herod', thanks Birbeck,
So with that in mind you will probably understand why i find these so appealing.
They are posters advertising St Matthew-in-the-City church in Auckland, New Zealand.
I told you religion was good.

The Stal Inn.
Apparently, The Wrestlers in Highgate, London is selling Madeira sweet sweet wine that once belonged to Joseph Stalin.
Just like old Jo, i wonder if it will leave a soar taste in your mouth? Probably not...
Plop Gear.
I have a feeling Top Gear is over! I fear it may have reached the end, no where else to go, done, cooked.
So to celerate, a bit of Clarkson?
Nice little thing from Swede Mason.
Still got a long way to go to beat this of course, but good one.

Every now and then the occupants decide where they will move to next.

Cape Town?
Bognor?
The Fantastic Mr Fox.
This looks awful I'm afraid. The Not So Fantastic Mr Fox!
How can you take something so awfully British and make it so Hollywood!
Even the voice over and typography on the trailer are so awfully incorrect!
There needs to be a body in place that stops this sort of thing happening.
Speaking of something terribly English!
