Here is another picture I took of Geo yesterday. In this shot you can see his Dog-e-Tag, I have to say when I first got it a few months back I thought it wouldn’t last a week with Geo. He spends most of his time biting it and chewing it like a baby-sucker and the tag is still in excellent condition. Its unscratched, undamaged and just needs a washing.. its extremely durable.
Out of this world
I haven’t been watching Showtime for ages so I just turned it on now and was checking my Tivo guide and to my surprise I found two new cool shows. Not new as in they are recent but new as in new additions to showtime. The two shows are Moonlighting and Out of this World. Can’t believe they are playing these two shows.. I love them!
Toyota – Human Touch
Really cool commercial. [Link]
Duck Hunt on the Nintendo Wii
Wooww… It looks really fucking cool! [Link]
I have some extra cash saved up which I just decided I would use to invest in the stock market. Anyone got any stock tips? Also I am planning on setting up an online trading account with Mutadawil, does anyone have a better suggestion? I wanted NBK but I need like minimum $25,000 to setup an online trading account with them.
When I was looking for a Memory Stick for my Sony PSP I didn’t know if it was worth paying extra and getting the high speed version (the Ultra II for example) or getting the regular and more affordable version. I did some research online to see if I could find information on this and what I found was very confusing.
The faster Memory Stick allows you to read and write data onto it faster then the regular card but according to some users the PSP doesn’t take advantage of the faster Memory Sticks. This means if you get a regular speed Memory Stick and a hight speed one, the PSP will treat both of them equally and read and write onto both at the same speed.
Some users on the other hand stated the opposite. Their views were that the PSP did take advantage of the high speed cards and that games would load faster when using them.
So not wanting to take a risk I decided to purchase the high speed card and thats what I have been using ever since. Recently I realized that 1GB wasn’t enough room since some games like Grand Theft Auto take up 850MB which leaves no room for a second game. So I was checking out prices on Amazon and noticed that once you get to Memory sticks 2GB and larger the price difference between the regular speed and high speed ones increased more.
Thats why I decided to experiment using the two different cards and see if they both worked on the PSP the same way. In short, turns out both cards performed exactly the same which means the people who said the PSP didn’t take advantage of the Hi-Speed cards were right.
I used Nat’s 1GB Sandisk card and my 1GB Sandisk Ultra II for my test. I copied GTA onto both and tried them out. I didn’t notice any difference at all, with both sticks the game loaded quickly and load times were none existent. Having a highspeed memory stick with the PSP is a waste of money..
I know this post might seem weird but I wrote it for people who are googling this memory stick information..
Gone Single
Today morning I dropped Nat to the airport and she will be in Lebanon until Sunday. Its just me and Geo at home chillin’ and watchin’ some TV.
I just finished watching this stupid movie called These Girls, from the IMDB description I thought it would be soft porn but instead it turned out to be really lame. I don’t know how it got an R rating..
So anyway the picture above is of Geo with the Cookie Monster doll which Ananyah had sent me. He had stolen it off my desk while I was in the bathroom and I didn’t have the heart to take it away from him.
From the ArabTimes:
‘Girlfriend’ blackmailed for sex: Police have arrested a Syrian salesman of a phone shop in Jahra for allegedly taking nude shots of a bedoun girl in Jahra using Bluetooth technology and threatening to post her pictures on the Internet web site if she refused to have sex with him, reports Al-Rai Al-Aam daily. The suspect was arrested after the girl filed a complaint against the suspect who is believed to be her boyfriend. Acting on a complaint police raided the man’s shop and seized from his computer the woman’s photos and telephone numbers of several girls.
Maybe I am low-tech or something but how do you use “bluetooth technology” to take pictures?
The Nutty Bavarian
You know the stand in the Marina Mall food court with the chocolate fountain? Well they have the worst chocolate chip cookies ever. It costs 250fils, its small, its extremely dry, it was tasteless and totally crap. I took one bite and then quickly trashed it.
Plasma Pong
Looks freakin cool but sadly no Mac version available. [Link]
Dance Dance Immolation
Dance Dance Revolution with Flamethrowers pointed at you. [Link]
Like Quicksilver for the Mac.. but for Windows. [Link]
24 Remixed
This is totally hillarious, a scene from the TV show 24 was remixed with the Golden Girls theme song. [Link]
I am having my apartments AC serviced and so the repair guys had to turn it off. It feels like I am sitting in a sauna at the moment, I hope my keyboard is water sweat proof. Geo is currently packing up his stuff and moving back to Belgium, I am hoping he will take me with him..
Update: Ok the guys just left, they just Pimped My AC.
MacBook Mockup
Yeah its just a mockup but it does look cool. Would love to get my hands on the black one. [Link]
