I Want My MTV…

November 20th, 2008

MTV

Those who know me know that I love the music.  I’ve always got a set of headphones stuck in my ears, or the radio on, or the ‘puter belting out iTunes on party shuffle.

When I’m online I’ve always tended to use Pandora Radio, Deezer or Last.fm (more recently using the FireFM plugin for Firefox), and I love these ‘cos they play random tunes by similar artists and I get to hear tracks I’ve not heard in ages or ones I’ve never heard before.

But sometimes you just want to listen to a specific track, and you can’t easily do that… until now… The grand-daddy of all music has arrived and put their entire music video library online.  You can even embed their videos into your own site (I’ve put one of my faves below). Check it out by clicking here.

How freakin cool is that!

Made Me Giggle All Day

November 18th, 2008

OK, so Shannon Cole sends a tweet and I’m giggling like a school child all day long.

Something very childish and funny, and it tickled me.

New Theme – Color Paper

November 18th, 2008

So I found this theme on Smashing Magazine’s website.  Liked the simple design, and most importantly lack of spam links ;-) It’s called Color Paper and is brought to you (and me!) by Free Theme Layouts.

Knowing me I’ll probably switch it in a few weeks once I get bored, and once I can be arsed coding some CSS and PHP to do my own.

Anyways, it’s the look for now!

Update: Theme changed to one called “I Feel Dirty”. A theme I went for more because of the name and not just the fantastic look ;-)

So Here It Is…!

November 17th, 2008

OK, so I’ve blogged before but now I’ve decided to take the final ego plunge and buy my domain name.  The .com was gone (but not live, how rude!) so I settled for the .org instead.

In this blog you will find my daily spraffings about life in general and stuff I like on the web and out there in the real world. You’ll probably notice me pissing around constantly changing themes as I’m never happy… I’ll probably just end up biting the bullet and desgining my own in the end, just need to find those spare few hours… I think they may be behind the sofa…

If you wanna interact then leave a comment but be nice tho, if youre just gonna be nasty then bog off and save yourself the effort, we’ve both got better things to do than moderate crappy comments :) and you’re welcome to subscribe to the RSS feed as well.

If you don’t like what I’ve gotta say then please feel free to leave, remember you’re here by choice and no one is forcing you to stay!

I live life the way I want to, speak my mind freely and have a very sarcastic (and somewhat sick) sense of humour.  This can offend people, so if you’re easily offended then this blog is probably not the place for you.

OK, now I’ve laid the ground rules for what will be car crash blogging it’s onwards and upwards so they say and I’ll speak to you all soon…
