2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003

Greenlighters are an emerging underground movement of sexually promiscuous teenagers, including bisexual, homosexual, and heterosexual members. Members of this movement wear a green polo shirt with the collar up, indicating that they are open to pretty much any sexual adventure. When someone comes up to them and puts the collar down, they are “collared” and will go with that person and do whatever sexual act they ask. Transfer of money is not usually involved. Some parent groups are starting to get involved – urging parents to go through their kids clothes and confiscate green shirts and polos. [Link]

You can watch and listen to the Live 8 concerts online from the AOL music website. I am currently waiting for Audioslave to come on stage in Berlin. [Link]

Remember I posted about the new large TV screen outside the Kuwait Stock Exchange and how there was a large palm tree blocking the view. Rampurple just messaged me that “KSE have removed the trees”.

Just yesterday I was watching the Rides episode where they built a car for drifting and I was telling Nat how cool drifting is when today I read that the new Fast and the Furious will be based on drifting. Neither Vin Diesel (who co-starred in the first film, but not the second) nor Paul Walker (who co-starred in both) will appear in the new movie which is scheduled to begin filming this fall. [Link]

On a side note, the show Top Gear is currently showing on the Discovery Channel in the States. Hope they come to Showtime also. At the moment you can watch Top Gear every Sunday at 1PM on BBC.

WOW, this is unbelievable… an artist swallowed a pill-sized camera that photographically auto-documented its journey through his body, taking 65,000 photographs in seven and a half hours. The picures are stunning! [Link]

Pop star Michael Jackson began a vacation at a prince’s palace in the tiny Gulf kingdom of Bahrain, his first trip overseas after being acquitted of child molestation charges, an official close to the royal circle said Thursday.

Jackson arrived with his three children on a private plane from Europe on Wednesday night for an indefinite stay, said an official. Jackson was found not guilty of child molestation in a California court on June 13.

He chose Bahrain because of his brother Jermaine’s first hand experience visiting the kingdom, the official said. “He’s come here to retreat and relax and enjoy the calmness of Bahrain,” the official said, adding that no other member of the Jackson family accompanied the pop star.

Another official said Jackson was a guest of Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the king’s son, in one of the royal palaces. Sheikh Abdullah, believed to be in his early 30s, is a friend of Jackson’s brother Jermaine. He described the visit as “very very private.” Jermaine Jackson has close links with Bahrain’s royal circle. In January, he and Sheikh Abdullah announced plans to launch a charity theme song written by the royal.

Update: Michael Jackson + Video Game fans, check this out.

I have this really cool song but I don’t know who its by or whats the name of the song, do you know it? [MP3 6.04MB]

Update: Thanks to Talal I now know the same of the song. “This song is called “Alpha Male”, and it comes from “The Understanding”, the 2nd album of an incredibly talented Norwegian electronica duo, Röyksopp“

Update 2: Just pre-ordered their new album from Amazon.

I hate it when I try to visit a site and its blocked. It doesn’t have to be porn, sometimes regular sites are blocked for no reason! This is why yesterday I signed up for Proxify. For $20 every 6 months I can access any site I want without worrying if its blocked or not. You can try it out for free but I think 20$ for 6 months is a very good deal. Incase Proxify.com gets blocked they have other secret urls you could use. Try it out. [Link]

My agency just installed iInventory on my mac. According to the software’s website this is what it allows Big Brother to do:

* Compare installed software against licenses
* Spot hardware and software changes
* Check unauthorized software or files like .MP3

Now I just need to find out what port its using so I could block it. I am sure if I google it I can find it..

The results are out, loads of cool stuff!! [Link]

Update: There are a 158 products incase you didn’t notice, just keep pressing next or use the drop down menu to go to a certain category.

Someone went and scanned a LadyBird book for kids on how the computer works. The book is from 1971, really interesting. [Link]

A9.com has done a minor cleanup to their starting page, they also fixed up their Maps page. While maps.google.com shows you satellite images of countries, maps.a9.com is pictures from the ground of store fronts. Of course not all the cities are available and its only US cities but its still really cool. Using maps.a9 I was able to show Nat every shop I passed by when I was in New York on vacation. Shops which I had forgotten their names I was able to find by maps.a9. Try it out. [Link]
