Xbox 360 launches in Australia and New Zealand!

Those pesky people in Oz finally have access to the lovely 360 which should keep their living room nice and warm for months to come! www.my360.com.au has the full lowdown on the launch which should have been huge given the console’s success in America and Europe…

Aussie gal Kitteh, from deconstruct.me.uk has also obtained one! She also has Elder Scrolls: Oblivion much to my annoyance because I wants it too! My own, my preciooussss! So thats roughly 14 friends of mine who have bought the console…Paul from Surly Pidgeon remains, and lets face it he hardly plays pc games anymore so he’ll convert soon enough! :mrgreen:

Free The Golliwog!

I’ve been busy lately but have had a raft of idea’s in hand for this blog to be implemented soon. Anyway I’ve got to mention a story which was first reported at the beginning of March 06 which had a lot of people in hysterics.

Golliwog

 

Now we all know how much garbage our prime minister Tony Blair speaks, and how his ‘Tough on Crime/Preachers etc’ policies will make the Uk safer. Basically everything he says never happens so half the sodding country ignores him anyway. Without going into this deeply, it’s emerged that race hate preachers have returned to the Uk to reap the rewards of our benefits system, while at the same time sprouting hate towards the very country they live in. Apparently London is "the organ of the devil", yet most of them live here. So while this is happening our coppers have lifted three Golliwogs and the bloke who was trying to sell them because they had offended a member of the public. Now…on a scale of one to ten, who offends you the most?

Designing The Xbox 360

As mid March 2006 approaches, my finances will take a dramatic nosedive as roughly 4-5 key games arrive for my lovely console. I’ve been awaiting these for sometime now and they’ll keep me busy for a good few months. I’m hugely excited and also concerned about where I’ll find the time to actually play them all!

Anyway, I had to mention how the Xbox 360 was designed, I’ve just come across an interesting website detailing each stage of the dashboard’s interface development, there’s also prototype pictures of a few Xbox 360’s! Experience User Centered Design

Valentines - It’s that time of the year again folks…

Yes chaps, break out those cheapo Tesco’s Valentine’s Cards! Guaranteed to get you dumped by your significant other half faster then you can say "wtf!?".

Pacman runs loose through a University!

Made me laugh anyway. Stumbled across a rather funny video of Pacman being chased by an evil Ghosty through a library at the University of Michigan. Clicky!

www.kainzy.org up and runnin!

Thanks to PlusNet having the most shambolic cgi/webspace around, I’ve decided to push plans forward and get a proper host earlier then expected. So thanks to http://www.jswf.co.uk/ I’ve decided for www.kainzy.org to be my new domain yays!

Sods law 101

It’s the start to a new year, and yet I find myself utterly tired and worn out already. It was meant to snow in London this week…and it didn’t. I’m a winter person and nothing can cheer me up then a big ton of snow! Yet right now I could do with a cheering up! Chose to relax at home today and get lots of misc jobs done, as well as work out because I’ve neglected doing that for a while now.

Anyway I just stumbled across (what!? I’m working out I tell ya!) the following article which made me smile - Ten Reasons Why You Should Date A Geek! written on a blog belonging to the wife of Microsoft’s top blogger Robert Scoble! Humourous and yet rather oddball reading! Us geeks are the future ladies! Oh yer!

Sometimes, sometimes stange things happen that we just cannot explain, so who you gonna call? No not the Ghostbusters, but some serious mental help for this chap Here.

Google’s top search terms of 2005

Every year this happens, and I find it interesting to see what the top celeb/popstar/gimp/item’s were searched for on google. 2005’s results seen here on the BBC are a bit odd…
How the hell did Janet Jackson become the top searched for entry I ask? What the hell has she done in 2005 to warrant this, apart from her boobs spilling out at the superbowl? I’d orignally expected Wacko Jacko to be no.1.

1: Janet Jackson (boobies!?)
2: Hurricane Katrina
3: Tsunami
4: Xbox 360 (yay!)
5: Brad Pitt
6: Michael Jackson
7: American Idol
8: Britney Spears (sex tape no doubt)
9: Angelina Jolie (corr!)
10: Harry Potter (ugly goit)
