Top 5 African Young Players

An interesting list of the most exciting African players around, it is quite sad I know them in the latter part of their careers on Football Manager lol

Thoughts....

It's 1:21am and instead of sleeping like 'normal' people on a Wednesday night I am hear writing a message because it seems like a fairly innocent thing to do in a completely fragile world. With all the pieces of the puzzle that is my life swirling around the radius of my head I find myself becoming a slight insomniac who likes to tell random people especially on the Internet about my fairly uneventful life and will most probably not care at all about the current goings-ons regarding me.


It seems a trivial prospect of travelling and relocating but the constant level of paranoia and fear remain bungee-jumping through my mind waiting for either a splat when the cord breaks or a fantastic spring and loss of all worry into the atmosphere. However this worry remains and it seems like it will for some time, why is it inevitable to write the word inevitable? and is it part of everyone to have a inner monologue of self-doubt which can be constantly voiced to a audience who couldn't care less or possibly be trapped behind concrete-shut doors from a population of worriers for your well-being.

We are never happy with what we have, this seems to be a flaw in all of us but obviously some are programmed to force themselves to think otherwise, I for one am never satisfied and am always looking for the next fad or gimmick. This pointlessness makes everything seem so pathetic and not worthwhile.......... anyway before I start rambling...........

Allianz in Guildford

I went to Guildford today to sort out my house share and see how far away it was from the Allianz office where I will be doing my placement. I am sure I will grow to loathe this building lol

Inglourious Basterds Trailer

http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi1210843929/

This looks an amazing film and with a fantastic combination of Brad Pitt and Quentin Tatantino means it is definitely going to have a unique take on war... (By that I mean a hell of a lot of gore!!!)

Google Wave


Google Wave Developer Preview Presentation at the Day 2 Keynote of Google I/O

It looks absolutely amazing! the amount it can be customised and used in different ways will definitely revolutionise the way we use e-mail and instant messaging. It appears that there will be a huge amount of API's available so will be interesting what developers come up with to add to it. I will be counting the days until I can use my first 'wave'.......

Innerpartysystem Human Remix


IPS are one of my favourite bands and when I read they had done a remix of The Killer's song 'Human' another of my favourite bands I had to check it out. I wasn't disappointed, it was a great remix in a long line of awesome remix's created by IPS. I need them to come back the UK as I missed the tour last year and I am dying to see them live! For anyone who hasn't heard any of their songs please have a listen, I thoroughly recommend.

Microsoft & Intel limit netbook screen to 10 inch for Windows 7

Both Microsoft and Intel have decided to put a limit on the screen size for netbooks that would be running Windows 7 OS. It will be decreased from 12-inch to 10-inch now. According Taiwan based notebook makers, it had a negative impact on the VIA technologies.

This is also a BIG BAD NEWS for the netbook manufactures: There won’t be any netbooks running Windows 7 that will have 11.6-inch screen size.

Believe it or not, we all saw this coming. The netbook manufactures were getting a little out of control and had started releasing almost notebook-sized netbooks. Somebody had to put a limit over the screen-size and there is no one better than Microsoft for this job!

Hilarious Video: Dramatic Chipmunk


I love this video so much! It has my friends and I constantly singing it and laughing hysterically every time. Check out some other Parry Gripp stuff, his songs make the videos so much funnier.
