It's time to play the music… it's time to light the lights..

Now, do these people have too much time on their hands, or am I just bored on a Saturday night? You decide… [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcdhEUrS7zc[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuv876xaelM[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQpiKnBjuns[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZI-ufJ0cPE[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSvJwUFI_es&feature=related[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9rzMaAucI4[/youtube] And last, but by no means least, the best bit of Muppet footage I could find on YouTube (what with being genuine, and everything…) [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm_edolD3O0[/youtube] (and yeah, […]

I'll protect you from the world, and the voices in your head…

OK, now I see why so many eBay sellers are crabby types. It’s a ton of work, and a barrage of questions, a lot of which you explicitly answer in the auction description itself. I should comment, however, that I did feel bad having to quote shipping prices for 23 Megadrive games to France; if

Quand l'amour n'est plus là que te reste-t-il, pour survivre ici bas?

In-between selling off my preciouses on eBay, I also write stuff, such as this story at the newly relaunched and spiffy looking APCMag.com: ABC’s online TV channels unveiled: “The ABC’s fullscreen VOD service has gone into beta, and we’ve given it the once over. It was tough work…”

The ker-azy eBay bargains continue. Might as well pimp them here as anywhere else… 14 N64 Games: Perfect Dark, Doom, Banjo Kazooie, Star Wars and More

This might surprise a few people…

But I’m selling off a large proportion of my games collection. Not to feed a drugs habit, or get the Mafia off my back, or anything else, but simply for the reason that I need the space, what with three kids, three cats and a home office to run. First on the chopping block (this

Better homes and deafened neighbours…

If you’ve ever watched any of the endless parade of home improvement programs that clog up the airwaves these days, you’ve probably been struck by how everything seems to happen effortlessly; the hosts are never tired or sweaty, nobody drops a hammer on their toes, and nobody — and I mean nobody — swears at

(Well, probably not free, actually. Free to you, anyway.) The April Issue of Australian Macworld Magazine just went ker-thunk into my letterbox — my postman has a wicked right arm on him, you see — which means it’s probably a very good guess that it’s available in stores right this instant. Or very soon. Almost

Enough with the sluggishness! Time to start churning out stories, methinks. Oh, look. Here’s two, live today at the spiffy new-look PC Authority Web site: Mystery Eee PC Rival On The Way: “The latest pretender to the throne comes from Emtec, who will be distributing the French-developed Gdium (like Sodium with less sod and more

Feeling sluggish?

1 Comment / Humour, Personal / Alex

Well, I was today. Stuff still got done, but in a lethargic kind of way. So it’s rather appropriate that when I headed out to put out the garbage later in the day, I found this little chap making his way down the side of the wheely bin….

The Weekend Edition of the Australian Macworld Weekend Edition Podcast has just gone live. Thankfully, because it’s a long weekend, what with Easter and all, it still “counts” as a Weekend Podcast. Plus, there’s an exceptionally good reason why it’s been delayed; the ever-hairy, brain-the-size-of-a-planet (but not depressed) Matthew Powell was busy becoming a Daddy
