TRON LEGACY

THIS. LOOKS. SO. SICK:

FELIPE MASSA

You all probably know by now that I'm a big Formula 1 fan who supports McLaren and doesn't really like Ferrari - at all...but...

I caught the first round of qualifying this morning before I went to work and left it with Hamilton in second position and Kovalainen in seventh. Now I could have waited 'til I finished to find out where everyone qualified but as I had to know, I asked my boss to find out for me and he did. Hamilton is in fourth and Kovalainen is in sixth... lovely... but what I didn't find out shocked me!

Anthony showed me a link and the first thing I saw was "MASSA IN 'STABLE BUT LIFE-THREATENING CONDITION.'" ...wallahell?!...

I watched the qualifying on iPlayer, saw the crash, and all I can say is I hope the dude gets well soon tbh. Even though he loves to jeopardise our chances... a fractured skull is not a nice thing to have. I hope Massa has a speedy recovery and gets back to getting on my nerves on the trach soonish.

PROJECT SAINAMIKA

I'm coming to the end of my latest project which should hopefully be up and running this week and is probably the reason why I haven't got many interesting things to say about myself recently 'cause its all been a bit samey. I won't say anything about the project until it is up and running though because there will probably be a few changes and stuff but yeah, it's almost done now.

I watched (the second half of) The Bill today. I don't know why, but it's the first time I've ever given the programme a chance but it was pretty good and I'll probably lock in when the second part is on. It's all changed and its got a new look apparently but I don't watch much telly and it looked alright haha. Just thought I'd share that with you.

ANDREYA TRIANA

Anyone who's listened to Mary Anne Hobbs' Experimental show on Radio 1 would have heard of the L.A. based producer, Flying Lotus. After hearing his music on her show, I decided that I would so a bit of research and listen to what I could find by him when I found this:

Not only did I think that the beat was amazing, but the vocal had me in a trance. My mind was blown and I had to find out who was singing. Where I was listening to the tune, the singer's name wasn't in the title or description so I had to do even more research and when I finally found the name - Andreya Triana, I just wanted to go and buy what ever CDs she had out but to my surprise, her debut album is yet to be released so all I could do is listen to her music on MySpace and watch her videos on Youtube.

This was all a while ago now. Since then Andreya and Bonobo (producer) have made some amazing tracks together and have just released a video for The Keeper which is out on 14th September. You probably won't like it but hey, this is just something I listen to other than Dubstep:

PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER 2010

I usually buy a football game every season. There's always a FIFA vs Pro argument when everyone meets up again in September and until I got my PS3, I used to be a FIFA guy. After a bit of persuasion, I chose to buy Pro Evo 08 and even though there were lag problems until Konami issued a patch... it changed me! (lol)

I said usually because I didn't get round to buying a football game this season (I wouldn't have played it much anyway - damn education) even though I was looking forward to it and eagerly awaiting new screenshots and videos so I could see all the improvements. Apparently it was a disappointment haha - BUT, from what has been shown from Pro 2010, it's gonna be goooood. The graphics have been improved (a lot), the gameplay has been realisticly slowed down and it's still months from release.

Now I didn't get all of this information from myself, I got it from a blog I follow called winningelevenblog.com which you should check out if you care because the get information before most other sources.

I miss football man. Hopefully Tottenham do a bit more next season! Here are some early screenshots and comparisons from the next installment of Pro Evolution Soccer:

HOW D'YA LIKE ME NOW?!

I said by the end of the week but I'm a day early! The lack of posts recently has been due to the sheer determination of me learning HTML and putting all I learned into a website which, hopefully will become official when the the owner of the company actually gets to see it haha. I really didn't stop once I got started on the whole HTML, CSS thing (which will probably explain why I missed that party... I forgot... sorry) but yay, I can now do stuff. But yeah, hope you like the new look...

These might not be the final changes and I'll most probably change more stuff when I learn more stuff but for the time being, welcome to the new look site.

Obviously the changes I made look good on my monitor but I have no idea how they look elsewhere so if there are problems, leave a comment or something please.

FACT x SCRATCHA / DVA

FACT: a great magazine. SCRATCHA/DVA: a great DJ & producer. What happens when you mix the two together?

A heavy product.

Scratcha's been doing music since when Jungle music was around in the 90s but I bet that if you're not a Rinse FM listener, you've probably never heard of him. If you're one of them (even if you're not) click the image above for an hour long Funky House mix and an interview which will enlighten you about his music side. Be quick though, the mix is'nt up for long. Limited edition business.

Catch Scratcha on Rinse FM every morning from 8-11 for jokes and music that everyone should be hearing more of.

Paint is evil

I woke up pretty late this morning afternoon, leaving me not much time to get the downstairs doors painted. I was at it before I even got to have any breakfast and I have developed a hatred for painting doors.

Paint gets EVERYWHERE! I'm sure this paint isn't the right paint for the job, 'cause is just drips all over the place. Even though I was careful, I still got it on the carpet and areas of the walls. Not good.

PAINT DOES NOT COME OFF SKIN. Well, until hours later. As I attempted to save the carpet from becoming polka dotted, I caught the drips with my hands - big mistake. If soap doesn't get something unwanted off yourself, then it is evil. I only managed to get one side of a door done before I gave up and run the bath as I became frustrated with the evil paint xD. Painting will resume tomorrow... :|

Enough about paint... I've begun to teach myself HTML & CSS today. Hopefully by the end of tomorrow, I'll have a nice looking mock website done. Hopefully by the end of the week, I'll get this blog looking nice and... different.

I like setting myself challenges

Long time no post...

...oops!

I meant to get posting again as soon as I made the finishing touches to my media coursework, but... that kinda didn't happen. Instead, I had a little break, went to Silverstone, completed a few games, went to a few parties and attended a prom. No idea if i left anything out or not but yeah, I haven't been too lazy.

You've probably seen it already but here is episode 4 of SMS TV:

Gotta upload some mixes and some pics which I'll either upload tonight or tomorrow (whenever I wake up) but yeah, no more gaps in between posts, this blog is now daily again.. woop woop.
