Pip-Boy 3000 is played out

| April 7th, 2009

pipboy3000b

Post title is close to blasphemy being the Fallout game serie (or should I say universe) fan that I am. But the apocalyptic future is NOW:

w200-wearable-computer_small

“As Fallout 3 fans know, the Pip-Boy 3000 is an indispensable combination of inventory manager, GPS mapper, quest log, stat-tracker and targeting tool to assist in blowing off a charging Super Mutant’s head. If only we had a real-world equivalent of the Pip-Boy. If only…

Behold, the new Glacier Computer Ridgeline W200 wrist-mounted computer. It may lack some of the Pip-Boy 3000’s retro charm, and it probably won’t help you cripple a Radscorpion’s legs with a well-placed shot from a plasma rifle, but it does boast a full-colour 3.5-inch touchscreen instead of a monochromatic display with clunky dials. It’s also got a backlit keyboard, hot-swappable battery (very important for long treks across radioactive wastes) and plug-and-play GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth modules. No mention of V.A.T.S., but maybe that’s coming in a future upgrade.”

It’s stuff like this I live for ; )

Eminem is a player

| April 7th, 2009

Anyone ever told you “I made you”, as if they believed they helped you so much in your “carreer” or whatever that they feel like you owe them forever ? I think it’s one of the things I despise the most. And sadly it’s not getting played out anytime soon.

New Eminem video – out today – “WE MADE YOU” – Is he talking to Dre ? Not.

Edit: I found this embedable version of the clip on “prosumer” Marcus Troy’s blog after posting. It’s funny how his today’s post related to mine. Must have been in the air today.

This is the first of what might possibly become a serie of guests posts on this blog. Sent by Gontran after seeing the La Presse cover last friday, on SQ cracking down on the oragnised crime that’s been rotting Quebec’s construction industry for over 50 years. Gontran is a macro-internationalist, réalist-alarmist. His fetish font is Times New Roman.

It’s economy is on the verge of collapse and the people of the province of Quebec is betting every last dime it got on a brand new sustainable high tech infrastructure and here is some good news. Whatever little patience they had left for those has-been, mustache-rocking, crooked contractors that have been plaguing and bleeding dry every single construction projects in the province for the last 50 years are now the picture-perfect candidates for some heavy populist finger-pointing and provincial police crack-downs. The world is changing, the outcomes are serious and the people is pissed, you are with us and you start building that shit tight OR you’re a hardcore gangster and our fight will be to the death; pretending to be both is sooooo played out.

Time is played out

lost_intro

I feel bad not posting for 3 days. In between work and a wedding, I must admit that most of the time spent in front of my computer this weekend was dedicated to the season 5 of TV serie LOST currently airing on ABC I downloaded on ThePirateBay.org*… Watching episode 11,  it struck me. Why not post back in time like they do in LOST !  So here it is. And if you were not in yet on thepiratebay hint, you’re in for a jewel of a torrent tracker and true “up yours copyrights !” manifesto. 

piratebay

*I don’t feel bad about downloading TV shows, but I do sometimes feel way a little too geek when watching HEROES… And posting back in time… I could have watched it on the official site, if I lived in the states, but I’m in Canada. OK OK I know I could have used this to get around the site’s geolocalisation software that blocks my connection… But I prefer having em on my desktop and not worry about sloppy internet connection while streaming, or even no access to the interwebs at all. That being said, a bright flash and strident sound should occur now and bring you back in your prefered space / time continuum.

Tiny URLs are played out

| April 3rd, 2009

I started using tiny url only recently because of twitter. Only to find out a couple month later that they’re already played out. I heard it’s all about freaking huge url right now.

That’s what a real player’s URL looks like. Massive. Like my brands : http://www.freakinghugeurl.com/refer.php?count=8&url=Vm0weGQxSXhiRmRYV0d4VVYwZG9XRll3WkZOVU1WcHpXa2M1VjJKSGVGWlZiVEZIWVd4S2MxTnNXbFppVkZaeVZteGtTMUl4VG5OaVIwWlhWbTVCZWxkWGRHRlpWMUpIVm01V2FsSnVRbGhXYlhoelRURmFjbFZyWkZoaVZscElWa2MxUzJGV1NuVlJiR2hYWVd0d2RsVnNXbXRXTVdSMFpFWlNUbFl4U2tsV2JUQXhWakZzVjFOdVZsSmlhelZoVmpCb1ExZEdWbk5YYlhSWVZqQTFSMWRyWkhkVWJGbDRVMnh3VjFaRmIzZFpha3BMVWpGT1dWcEdhR2xTYTNCdlZtMDFkMUp0VVhoVmJrcFlZbGhTY1ZsclduZGxWbEp6VmxSR1YwMUVSa2haYWs1clZqRmFSbGR1V2xwbGExcFVXWHBHVDJOc1duTlRiR1JUVFRBd01RPT0=

My mailbox is played out

| March 30th, 2009

You ain’t gotten email till you gotten 22 048 at once. And I ain’t talking spam, I’m just shamelessly displaying a Bulletin Board Moderator’s motivation at keeping his forum “clean” nowadays… Errrrr… Read my laziness, lack of dedication or as they say but aren’t even close to understanding ; “the love”… Dude. At 6.8 ko, 22 048 emails is a whole lotta love ! Especially when it mostly consists of sausage party love… 

playedout_mailbox

I took this screen cap last winter. I just wanted to post it before I threw it away with all the memories. The good and the bad… Well knowing the ugly always sticks. 

Is it just me or emails galore is just not doing it for me anymore in 2009 ?
