This is a very interesting video showcasing how Microsoft see “the Home of the Future” – its not like tose comical 70′s video’s but instead expanding upon the types of technologies we are starting to use today

I usually post all my mixes on my other blog – but I thought I would share this one with everyone here too:

Sunday morning is one of my favourite times to mix. You’re tired and your head is it bit foggy from the night before, so putting on a few smooth sounds is the perfect way to open the day. This morning I pressed record – started off with some nice laid back tunes and let it flow from there. Leads on to come chunky percussions and funky basslines, perfect to waken you up for the day ahead…

Enjoy…

Now this is a toy I think every man would love. If you have a racing fame with a steering wheel, that’s cool. If you have it hooked up to a projectors, that is Really Cool! If you have one of those fancy racing seats then you are sub-zero – but this, this is just another step beyond:

It is a 6-Axis Motor/Flight/Rollercoaster simulator seat thingy that will being a new realm of excitement to Grand Tourismo or any other type racing simulation game.

I have been wondering how to do this for literally years, and today I finally found a program that does it.

If like me (on my work pc anyway) you have a huge load of windows open at any one time – and also spend all day closing and opening new ones – things can get a bit messy. I have a very specific order I want them in, and if that gets messed up, I need to shut them all down and reopen in the right order which takes ages so I usually don’t bother.

Taskbar Shuffle is a program that fixes this problem – and allows you to reorder your taskbar and system tray icons!

Cool!

A 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns, The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It’ll teach you something, it’ll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.

This is really brilliant. A very simple and effective narrated animation of how the credit crisis happened. Definitely worth a watch.

It must be the recession. Couldn’t possibly think of any other reason..

This made me smile… A guy took an interesting spin to his worldwide travels and decided to film himself doing a silly dance in each place he visited. This is the result….

You may have noticed from many of my other posts of late, I’m really getting into watching documentaries at the moment. Maybe its a sign of getting older or something, but I’m quite enjoying actually learning something rather than being entertained by mindless dribble…

Here are a list of the my favourite movies right now, most of which I really think everyone should see…

Zeitgeist – Fantastic look into three aspects; Religion, 911 and World Banking raising some very interesting questions.
Loose Change – 911 Conspiracy Theroy
The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara – Lessons from the former US Secretary of state during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
The War on Democracy – How America pushes democracy like the bully of the world.
Islam – What the West needs to know – The foundations of the Muslim religion – very scary.
Occupation 101 – Award winning movie on the Israeli Palestine Crisis.
The Great Global Warming Swindle – Evidence against Global Warming theory.
Frontline – The Meth Epidemic – Drugs – The Meth Crisis sweeping America
American Meth – Ditto
Cocaine Cowboys – Growth of Cocaine use in America

In Pot We Trust – Benefits of Medical Marijuana
What we still don’t know about the cosmos – The history of the universe
Sicko – Michel Moore’s depiction of the state of the American Health System

I’m not a very big sports fan. Have zero interest in Rugby or Football, or pretty much any team based ball sports. They bore me. Even though I don’t follow it as closely as I’d like, Formula 1 would probably my favourite because there is just so much more to it than cars going around a track. Some people say its more about the  race of technology than it is a race between people. I generally prefer watching the moire extreme sports, and I really love the X-Games.

Ok I’m not really into skateboarding, it’s a bit basic for me, but I’ve always been into BMW and used to do a lot of Mountain Biking myself. Freestyle Motocross is something I’ve followed for years. The thing I like most about it is how the riders just keep on pushing the boundaries of what is thought possible, and doing more and more crazy and dangerous tricks – every few months someone does something completely new – and that rider who performs an trick first, gets to name it, So you end up with moves called the Can-Can, the Heart Attack or the Tsunami, and a whole host of others.

One trick however, simply takes my breath away. It was not long ago when people thought doing a backflip on a motorcycle was impossible, until Cary Heart did it a few years back. It was not long until all the other riders were pulling off backflip combinations and you could not win a competition without some upside down action. It opened a totally new realm of possibility.

But in 2007 Travis Pastrana did one, better, he did theDouble Backflip. The risks in not landing this trick properly are very serious injury or possible death – but he executed it perfectly and put himself into the history books. What is even more incredible is that someone else tried it on a Snowmobile!!!! Seriously, how crazy do you have to be?
