2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003

A nice video of a white car spinning its wheels on a public road in Kuwait. Notice how the driver doesn’t care about the oncoming cars. [Video 4.8MB]

Finally installed the PSP 2.0 firmware update and I can now browse the internet from my PSP. Cool shit.

Update: So far first impressions of the browser is thats its pretty cool, perfect for checking up on sites from bed before I go to sleep or at the airport while I wait to pick someone up. I haven’t any problems browsing except for 2 websites. 2:48AM’s sidebar didn’t show up on the PSP and Idontlikeyouinthatway.com gave me an out of memory error. Other then that everything worked like a charm. To make my life easier I also create a homepage for the PSP which includes links to all the sites I visit, this way I don’t have to type each one out manually.

This is a really cool software called coconutBattery and I can’t wait to use it on Nat’s PowerBook once I get home. This software gives you a whole bunch of details about the laptops battery including how much charge it originally held and how much it holds now. Nat’s battery is pretty messed up, in OS X it says her battery would last for 26 more hours when in reallity its more like 26 minutes. [Link]

I don’t like Arabic songs nor do I listen to them but for some reason I like Bortukala. Here are two versions of the Bortukala video. I guess the first one was made when the guy didn’t have any money and the second one once the song became more popular. I believe the word bortukala in this Iraqi song is like biatch in a rap video?

Bortukala 1 (3.98MB)
Bortukala 2 (2.62MB)

Finally the US 2.0 is out. People who downloaded the Japanese version last month will not be able to install the US version on their PSP. Currently though there seems to be no new features in the US version over the Japanese version. [Link]

This post is for the ladies. Do you get turned on seeing slightly overweight men naked and covered in paint? Then you are in luck! [Link] (SFW)

Note: I had no clue what category to put this in, fashion maybe?

EBgames has two very cool XBOX 360 bundles for pre-ordering. I am going to get the Ultimate Bundle since that has the most goodies. So Nat, if you are reading this, thank you in advance for this very thoughtful birthday gift! [Link]

Have you google talked yet? I have to say I think this is the worst idea from Google. I personally don’t think they can penetrate the MSN and Yahoo communities. [Link]

I just found out Zed Al-Refai, the Kuwaiti who climbed Mt. Everest has a website. Check it out. [Link]

My favorite is Highline, whats yours? [Link]

Why does a sandwich made by someone else always taste better than one you make yourself? [Link]

Wow, this slim NES kicks more ass then a slim PS2. [Link]

It really does… [Link]

I finally found a reason to get a Nintendo DS, Nintendogs. When I first heard about the game I thought it was stupid, when I saw pictures of the game I thought it was stupider, but then I watched a video of the game in action and I fell in love. Nintendogs is basically like an advanced version of the Tagamotchi pet. You get to choose your dog from the kennel and they you help it grow. A while back our family pet dog died, he was a daschund. The video I watched of the game involved a daschund playing with bubbles. Basically the kid playing with the game was using a bubble blower to play with the dog in the game and the dogs reactions to the bubbles were exactly like my real life dog. The on screen dog jumped around trying to bite the bubbles and then when the bubbles hit him he started to rub his paw on his face! Seeing that brought nice memories and I knew I had to get the game, I am going to resurrect my dead dog back to life inside the game!

I just found a good deal for a DS bundle on Amazon. A silver Nintendo DS bundled with a Spiderman 2 game and a Pro Gamers Kit (includes a Aluminum Case Games Cases, Earphones, Car adaptor Screen Lenses and Neck Strap) for only $129. The Nintendogs (Dachshund version) for $29 also. Now I can’t wait for the game to come. [Link]

Videos of the game available on IGN
