Just got my new headphones today. I ordered the AKG K81 DJ to replace my Sennheiser PX100 since i needed “closed back” headphones for work. They are currently being burned into as they need around 50 hours before the sound starts to settle. Once they are ready and I use them for about a week I will post a review.

K.thekuwaiti just emailed me these pictures. Someone in Kuwait owns a K.I.T.T replica from the show Knight Rider. Its really fucking cool.

Tonight I met up with the owners of Burger Boutique. For some reason I always imagined them to be old but they turned out to be young and one of them was even with me in high school. They are very cool guys and they are extremly passionate in what they do. Tonight they relaunched the Burger Boutique website so check it out. [Link]

I found this high resolution picture of London via Digg and it was taken sometime around the 1930s. I really love it. Notice how everyone is wearing the same black and beigh colors and how all the cars are also similar in colors. [Link]

I found these Tron Adidas sneakers at Atheletes Foot in Marina Mall.

Hmmm, I think I am guilty in two areas. [Link]

Definition according to Urban Dictionary:

A phenomenon which typifies Murphy’s law. The absolute worst possible outside circumstance which can and will negatively affect the current situation. Greater than minor inconveinienves, this is the sort of instance which all hope of success is lost.

An “Oh Shit…Meteors” event is also notable for the lack of control the participant has over the situation. In spite of all careful planning, this is the sort of situation in which all hell breaks loose for no apparent reason.

1) While driving to a friend’s wedding, you experience heavy traffic and are ten minutes late = minor inconveinence.

2) While driving to a friend’s wedding, you crash into another driver resulting in all sorts of pain and misery = tragic accident.

3) While driving to a friend’s wedding, an awkwardly positioned nail in the road hits your front tire and pops it, which causes it to fly back and blow out your back tire. The resulting blow-out causes you to spin, knocking your way across the road and into several other cars, which bounce you back into other cars, resulting in a fifty car pile-up which results in a massive explosion. In spite of all of this, you still survive, and as you are crawling out of the fiery wreckage you look up to the sky, only to see a ball of pain and doom, known among as a meteor, flying out from the sky, headed directly for you = Oh Shit…Meteors

Someone sent me an email with scans from the menu of a restaurant at the Damascus Airport. As expected there are a lot of spelling mistakes.
