Lorem Ipsum 2 Pac Style or Something Like That

2Pac is Dead. 2Pac is alive. I just can’t follow them kids anymore nowadays and I don’t know whether all that stuff has been good or bad to us. Remember that everything before R’nB used to be good and nice. Mariah Carey had a wonderful and musical [self-named] debut album then she found Puff Diddy or P.Daddy or whatever his name is.

If you thought that were bad, think again. Now there’s even Gangsta Lorem Ipsum. It goes like this.

Lorizzle rizzle dolizzle break it down break it down, break yo neck, yall adipiscing black. Nullizzle sapizzle velizzle, izzle volutpizzle, suscipit sheezy, gravida vel, fo shizzle.

This One Has Got Me, I Just Don’t Know How or Whether That’s Good

There was a time, not that long ago, when I actively published here and that of course did include Star Wars nerdery. Now most of that stuff has shifted to ForeverGeek and most of the time it’s even not me who manages the Star Wars drools and sexism over there. Times change.

And then there were bathing suits.

And I got thinking.

First I thought “W000t!”

Then I thought, “What if some McDonalds loving SAHM fancied this.

I don’t think I’m going to hit the beach today.

Terry Pratchett, Meteorites and Swords, The Title Alone Should Make You Drool Already

Things can get even better though, especially when the Discworld Master combines everything in one, together with some magical thunderbolt iron. What you get is one DIY-Sword.

With help from his friend Jake Keen — an expert on ancient metal-making techniques — the author dug up 81kg of ore and smelted it in the grounds of his house, using a makeshift kiln built from clay and hay and fuelled with damp sheep manure.

Pratchett, who has Alzheimer’s disease, also said he had thrown in “several pieces of meteorites — thunderbolt iron, you see — highly magical, you’ve got to chuck that stuff in whether you believe in it or not”.

After days of hammering the metal into bars, he took it to a blacksmith, whom he helped to shape it into a blade, which was finished with silverwork.

Sony DSC-W390 720p HD Video Recording Quality

Recently I had the opportunity to finally get a pocket camera of acceptable quality, all while not much larger than a mobile phone a couple of years ago. In this warm climate the perfect thing to put in your khakis. One of the things I had been looking at for a long time was a camera with the opportunity to record 720p movies and after several months of doubting, I settled for a Sony DSC-W390, a 14.1 megapixel camera with panorama sweep and 720p HD video recording.

One detail which might put doubters off is that the USB standard camera won’t output 720p video to your TV or media player but for me that was no issue because I can connect to my Sony HDTV or PS3 via USB (card reader) and generally have all my video on a network drive anyway.

But that’s rambled enough. You obviously want to see how the 720p recording quality is. Here’s a minute of today’s Tour de France stage, recorded live in 720p with fine settings. The TV broadcast is upscaled digital TV quality, transmitted via IP.

Y Iz Ur Keyboard Broke? R U Dumb?

No comment, just facts.

I thought I would add something funny to this but other than that the image 3190pixel high is, I really have nothing to say. Yes, I know. That’s a novelty.

Maybe this should be part of a new series: motivational posters.

Cthulhu Nightmares of H.P. Lovecraft Dagon Statue Or The Best Octopus You’ll See All Month

If I were to go live in the Southern of Europe, in a mediterranean environment, I think this would be the ultimate octopus a restaurant could serve me and make sure I would not touch. Not not touch because I don’t like octopus, I love octopus to be honest.

But not touch because it looks so frakkin’ awesome.

Except for one small detail, a really minor detail. It’s $249. And you can not eat it either. No amount of IRN BRU can help you digest this. So you’ll have to find a spot on your desk or coffee table for it. Now go order me one and send it as a gift to the Frankylicious HQ.

Women should love it as well because it’s 12″.

The Periodic Table of Periodic Tables. There’s Also Movie at 11

Periodic tables are very popular online and I certainly am not one not to like that trend. Actually, I want one like this and a periodic table of coffee as well. In coffee table format.

But a periodic table of periodic tables? WTF? So this guy had way to much of time on hands, made a collection of different periodic tables he found online and then wrapped it all up in a new periodic table. The periodic table of periodic tables.

The worst thing about all this? He even got us to write about!

It’s almost as bad as these Twitter bloc-notes, but then again… it’s a periodic table, right?

Twitter Post-Its. Say What?

‘WTF?!’ Is the first thing that comes up to mind with Twitter bloc-notes. Do they have a character count? Do they spread in the wild or do you just have to throw them out of the window and hope that your office isn’t on the ground floor but on at least 27th stock. Why don’t you just follow me on Twitter?

Do they only serve for DMs or how do you actually use them?

Am I supposed to stick them on the outside of my window because yes, my office is on first floor. See what I did there?

So yeah… Twitter post-its. I suppose you use them when all your electrical devices, connecting you to the real world, are out of power and you can’t find a socket in the wall?

If life truly is such a bitch to you, don’t fear and go download the Twitter post-its here. Let me know how to follow you when you do use these.

You Too Can Now Have Your Own David Lynch

If you’re anything like us and also happen to like movies, of course David Lynch is one of your idols and favourite movie makers. Right?

Right.

We’ll even forgive you if you’re a softie and only can cope with ‘Lynch beginner level’ suspense like in Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive.

So what if you could have your own, super-sized David Lynch?
It now is possible. Well kinda, that might have been a lie actually but Jamie Salmon went ahead and created his own Lynch. Imagine sitting at the table, with your Lynch replica and enjoying your food in real Eraserhead style. Sign me up for one, please.
