Just when you thought you couldn't see properly… I love informercials they're so cheesy - it's like you've seen the best - now check this!!
To fill you in some more, I actually own the one below. Read on for more…
You can now have KITT direct you to your destination with the Knight Rider GPS system. The device is actually voiced by William Daniels who played KITT in the series. Ace!
This Saturday (28th June) myself and Chris Keenan will be performing at the 7 Inch Cinema 5th Birthday Shindig. For any Birmingham based cats who have not been to a 7 Inch event before this is a great chance to see what they're all about. Expect fine music, obscure short films and tons of inspiration.
If you're coming down to especially peep me & Chris doing a Super 8 ambient soundtrack then try to come early; we're on around 7.30 / 8ish. (I'll be posting the set up on here next week.)
So I updated to Firefox 3 the other day and have been generally impressed with the subtle but sweet updates. It certainly feels faster on the Mac than it's slow-as-a-slug predecessor.
But today I discovered a major glitch in the upgrade… all my Firefox 2 bookmarks have disappeared!? What a cack handed mistake that is.
After a quick bit of research it seems it's a known bug for those who tried out the Firefox 3 beta for a while. There is a work around but it looks like a royal pain.
Luckily - my bookmarking is a bit shoddy at the best of times and I only recently moved back over to Firefox from Safari in my game of browser tennis — so the most useful bookmarks I do have are still safe.
Anyways - let that be a small warning — back-up your bookmarks first just in case.

FireNes is a wicked little widget for Firefox that lets you play zillions of NES games right there in your browser. The plug-ing takes about 5 seconds to install (the site is in Spainish - click 'instalar FireNes') and then you'll have a sidebar jam packed with classic NES titles. All you need to do from there is pick the game and play. To set options and find out the keys, CTRL-click (right click for you PC losers).
Shame there's no full screen option - yet.
The work of Julia Schonlau has put a big smile on my face today, and that’s just what I needed. Brilliant.
Like the eyes at the end - ace!

I spent the best part of a couple of hours working my way through this electronic music tree. (Virtually) every genre of electronic music is covered with samples as examples. Ever wondered what Gloomcore is? Look no further. What makes the guide is the entertaining commentary by Ishkur. For example...
- Ghetto Tech
“When Ghetto Tech plays, it's as if the Heavens themselves are speaking. Ghetto Tech will be the natural law of the New World Order. God himself will come down, declare his kingdom on earth, and inscribe on two tablets for all the hoes to shake their multitudes of titties. And it will be good. To the farthest reaches of the earth Ghetto Tech will permeate, and teach us all about harmony, life, love, and slapping dicks against the mouths of many bitches. Oh yes. So it is written, so it will be done. Amen.”
(Edit: don't view in Safari - doesn't work)
French photographer, Cedric Delsaux, has created a series of photographs featuring Star Wars characters in urban settings. The shots are actually created by superimposing toys on to shots of Parisian architecture.
