As I was listening to my LastFM, I saw this Mashable news feed om my Google Reader. Twitter had a home page redesign. Very Interesting right? So I immediately went to my Twitter profile (please do so now, but do log-out first or you won’t see it and you’ll feel stupid for about 2 minutes) and saw the great re-design. It’s Tweety bird! No wait, it’s a rubber ducky! No wait, wtf is that?
Below, we can see clearly the thing as a DUCK:
Anyway, it’s not about the design. It’s about the huge-ass search feature and popular topics in their #hashtag form. Twitter positions itself as a realtime search engine of social topics, trending and recent. The search-centric home page suggests to a new user an information driven tool. And as the headline tells it, “Share and discover what’s happening right now, anywhere in the world.” Now that’s awesomely written.
Little Halls Pond Cay in Nassau, Bahamas. 6 beaches, 1 lagoon and 45 acres of paradis (get it? paradis). Here’s how he came upon this beautiful place. “Like everything else in my life, it wasn’t planned, it just kind of happened. After I had done the first ‘Pirates’ movie I went on vacation to escape with my kiddies and my girl and someone said there was an island down the road for sale. I looked at it, I walked on it and I was done. So I immediately called my business manager and said ‘Please!’ And that was it.”
Easy as me stealing from a co-worker’s bag of chips. Well you would buy an island too, for $3.6M, if you’ve just earned $96M for a trio of movies you just did. Throw in 156-ft stream-powered boat and begin to set sail down yonder the Bahamas. Nyarrr.
Adam is diagnosed with Salivary-Cancer. Salivary tumors are extremely rare with an annualized incidence rate of 1.2 per 100,000 people. Hopefully, the tumor is benign and like what Adam said his voice shouldn’t get affected. The Beastie Boys could just go on making music forever.Read more about salivary-cancer here.
I love chicken. I love KFC. We love chicken. We love KFC. Now thanks to Ron Douglas of RecipeSecrets.Net we can now copy at least to some extent the oh so juicy, greasy, pseudo crack-chicken goodness that is KFC.
Sure I can whip up this recipe if only I knew what a marjoram is. Also, I still want my chicken genetically enhanced, tortured and served in a bucket. Finger lickin’ eh?
On my way to the office I heard the single “It’s Alright” off 311’s newest album “Uplifter” this morning. And what better time to hear it. The heavy storm downpour left my jeans soaked, I was running late for office and the traffic never looked so damn awful. But anyway.
It’s Alright is the culmination of what 311 has been doing for the past 20 plus years. It opens with upbeat drum beats and then subtle reggae strokes fill in. The chorus then shifts to almost alt rock, after which funky bass lines plays. And the rest just kept my head bobbing. Like as if I’ve never heard of that familiar sound before. I missed it. Or maybe I’ve just been stuck to the Greatest Hits album. This is new and damn straight is it alright. It’s fucking 311!
So I immediately downloaded the new album. Usually I read reviews first, but no. Coz after listening to every track, no review will even matter. This album is for the fans, and it is fucking awesome. It’s for us who grew up to 311 playing all those songs on our cassettes, Cd players and in our Ipods. For us who threw up on countless house parties with loud 311 music blasting in the background. For us music fans who had overplayed From Chaos too long (Don’t Tread on Me was ugh, forgettable). We are in 2009. And what joy it is to have new songs from 311 that remind us how awesome their music is. I won’t be able to stress enough how cool this album is unless you get a listen. The whole album is great although there are a few that’s kinda lame. Here’s what I feel are the outstanding tracks.
