Favourite Links

Hi everyone, 

Its Valentine's Day...*sigh* this day really bugs me. We all know that Valentine's Day is a capitalist con, the over crowded restaurants, 'premium priced' roses and the pressure for couples to feel forced into pretending they like each other. On the other hand singletons are encouraged to feel unworthy as the only thing in their letterbox is a pizza flier.

Its all a lie and incredibly false; a person's love should not have to be topped up with annual offerings of overpriced pink and red tat. Anyhoo this post is about my new little series 'Favourite Links' not 'VD'. This won't happen every Friday, but I thought it would be a nice way of sharing links that like and that might be of you too.

I'd Eat You

Hey everyone,

Someone left this random super dark apple on my desk the other day... creepy!


Looks like something out of Death Note - not eating it

Last month went by so fast, its nearly Christmas already. I don't really celebrate Halloween but I do like dressing up and being creative with paints/make up and watching horrors. I'm not really the jumpy-type who cowers beneath the bucket, I'm kind of used to (not sure if that's a good thing), so I sit back and watch the carnage commence. I've been watching been The Walking Dead recently, inspired by this I come across a cool free app which give me this effect.

The app is called Zombie Booth, you can make your face into a 3D animated zombie. I will probably uninstall it after Halloween, because what is the point but its fun none the less. I quite like that even the ugliest picture can look more interesting. I've seen some really cool zombie tutorials too given an even better effect but...'ain't nobody got time for that'.
 

Did you do anything this Halloween?

 

Bye

LITS

Hey everyone,

Hope your all doing well. Things for me have gotten really busy again, I haven't had much time so a social life and fun, but I’m not complaining. Last weekend I did to have a little bit fun time at the London International Technology Show (LITS) showcasing the latest in 3D technology, computing, tablets, mobile and stuff. There were demonstrations and guests speakers all the things to full your geeky needs and Apple hall of fame timeline.

The 3D games and movies were really cool, but my eyes did start going trippy after a while.

Yeah I know I look a bit of a mess here hehehe

free tech mags woo hoo!

This was the first year so it wasn’t that good but I’m sure that well improve in time, it would been nice if they showcased cameras and stuff, instead of boosting the things we’ve heard of but can’t afford. Oh well it kept me entertain of a while.

laters! :)

I can’t believe I’m blogging about this… for those who know me, you’ll already know I’m not the biggest Apple fan. I think their overpriced and overhyped and after the latest launch announcement I stand strongly behind my statement. After all the waiting, rumors and speculations about an iPhone 5 it turns out to be a ‘new’ iPhone 4S.  – What was that, the sigh of disappointment? Yeah I KNOW! Kmt!

Basically it’s the same as the iPhone 4 but with a few extra perks, which in a nutshell are

• A new chip (same as iPad 2) that makes the graphics faster
• 8 megapixel rear camera – but seriously in today’s market would you expect any less!
• Voice-controlled talking assistant – like KITT from Knight Rider (well sort of…)
• Makes decent calls (apparently)

 Hmm… I still was expecting a lot more, especially for £400-£500 quid. This isn’t enough to convert me I’m afraid, the Samsung Galaxy SII I believe is still a better buy – cheaper too :P

Who knows maybe I’m speaking too soon...
