2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003

Where the fuck are you damn it!! [Link]

If you are in the process of buying a Mac now put your purchase on hold. Why? Apple has a habit of introducing new products or upgrades during one it large events which are held throughout the year. Steve Jobs usually starts these events with his famous keynotes and then introduces the new products. Next month is the Apple Expo in Paris in which the new iMac G5 was introduced last year. During these expos it is expected that Apple would introduce new hardware and software products, or at least some hardware and software updates. Below is a list of the Apple products divided into two sections, “Likely to be Updated” and “Not LIkely to be Updated”.

Likely to be Updated
Powerbooks (Last updated in January)
iPod Shuffle (Last updated in January)

Not Likely to be Updated
iBooks (Last updated in July)
Mac Mini (Last updated in July)
iPod (Last updated in June)
PowerMacs (Last updated in April)
iMacs (Last updated in May)

To keep up to date with Mac rumors and news I would recommend checking the following sites before making a Mac purchase:

YouTube.com is a service like Flickr except instead of people sharing pictures they share short videos. I personally don’t have any movies I want to share with people but it is interesting to watch other peoples videos. For example I just watched one guy do a pretty good Napoleon Dynamite impersonation and now I am going to look for some amatuer porn videos. [Link]

Over a month ago I posted about a woman who is making her own movie about how McDonalds is healthy for you and today on CNN there is an article about how this other woman lost 37 pounds after eating McDonalds for 90 days! I hope people who watched and believed the movie Super Size Me know that it was all bullshit. [Link]

I spent most of Friday morning installing emulators and game roms on my Xbox. On my Dreamcast I had a ton of emulator CDs and games including over 1600 Sega Genesis games. So, I spent the morning copying all the Roms off the Dreamcast CD onto my Xbox, then I downloaded some Xbox emulators from #xbins on Efnet and installed those also. Now I can play tons of games that were made for the Genesis, 32X, SNES, Coleco or MSX on my Xbox. They also all run extremely well with no slowdown what-so-ever. Next step is to get some NeoGeo roms and a NeoGeo emulator for the Xbox.

Most Xbox users with modded Xbox’s can’t play on Xbox Live because Microsoft would ban them once they detect a modded Xbox. Luckily for us though there is a service that competes with Xbox Live and its called XLink. Basically what XLink allows you to do is to play ANY System-Link capable game online, even games that don’t have Xbox Live. Not only that but XLink also works with other systems including GameCube, PS2 and the PSP. Whats even cooler is that its for free! [Link]

Note: For those of you who have old modded xbox’s, for KD10 you can get a new chip that will allow you to turn off the mod and play on Xbox Live, check in Rihab Complex for more info.

This is just now over lunch:
1) She parked over the line taking 2 parking spots at Souk Sharq
2) She drove against traffic in the Souk Sharq parking lot
3) She is driving and I tell her to take a right, she takes a left

This was the team formation for round 3 of the Halo 2 Frag Fest was as follows:

Team Damen
Edjamacated Guy
Nibaq
Fadibou
Mark

Team Da Hui
Ozy
Ripping Fabric
Kyon
Ramsey

Results? Out of atleast 10 games we played, Team Damen didn’t even come close to winning a single one! We totally got our asses kicked. Next time we should split up Team Da Hui and mix and match between their team and ours. We are no competition at the moment. The grudge match between Ripping Fabric and Fadibou resulted in Ripping Fabric winning.

IDontLikeYouInThatWay.com is a website started by the original head writer from thesuperficial.com. So you can expect it to contain the same style of articles, kinda like how Gizomodo and Engadget are the same. [Link]

This site has intro titles to movies designed by Saul Bass. Saul Bass is a very famous graphic designer who’s worked with some of Hollywoods greatest film makers including Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick. This website has an interactive gallery which displays the movie intros which Bass designed, some really really cool stuff. [Link]

I am back to work today. Turns out I had food poisoning and thats why I was sick. Only thing I had eaten though on Friday was Fried Calamari and Fish Promodoro from Johnny Carinos and it was amazing. So its hard to imagine food so good put me in a 12 hour puke fest. Anything I drank or ate I puked from Friday evening to Saturday afternoon. Finally Saturday evening I decided to go eat something I knew my body could handle naturally, McDonalds. I went and had a Quarter Pounder Combo with an extra Cheese Burger sandwich and it was really good. Yesterday I also noticed I had red dots on my face around my eyes area, as if I got an allergie from the fish or something, today they are practically all gone so thats good. Now I am back in the office and I am feeling completely normal, I don’t think anyone in the office will believe I was sick yesterday, I think they will all think I just took an extra day off from work since I was enjoying my long weekend. Anyway thanks for the get well soon comments below, now I got to catch up on 3 days of Internet.

I am sick. I went to bed at 10PM feeling sick and I woke up now at 4:30 still as sick…

Was just checking out Amazon and I realized now is the best time to buy a camera.

Nikon D70
Body Only $500
Body with Lens $600

Canon 20D
Body Only $750
Body with Lens $1000

And this is only a week after I got my brother a D70 without a lens for $750! Sometimes Amazon really sucks.

Update: Seems it must have been a mistake by Amazon, the prices are back to normal. Should have taken a screenshot, now people will think I imagined it all!

Yes I am on vacation and its my first since the winter of 2003. But, its only a 1 day vacation, I just took Thursday off and will be back to work on Saturday. So till then, I don’t think I will post anything on 2:48AM.
