A place for sharing any files small enough to fit on a conventional floppy disc (1.44meg High density), art, media, sound, noise, its up to you, all files are hosted here for taking and swopping.. [Link]

Billy Corgan’s first solo album “TheFutureEmbrace” was released just yesterday yet Billy Corgan also released a full page ad in the Chicago Tribune saying that he wants Smashing Pumpkins to reunite! Smashing Pumpkins are one of my favorite bands ever, the line which I use for 2:48AM “Breathing underwater and living under glass” is actually from one of their songs. So having them reunite again would be one of the coolest things that could happen. [Link]

Interesting F1 race today in the States, only 6 cars competed because the other 14 cars boycotted the race. CNN has the full details. [Link]

I am back from todays shoot. Was out in the sun since 9AM. I asked Nat to give me our sunblock in the morning but she couldn’t remember where she put it so now I look like a tomato, my face and neck are burnt. Thank you nat!

This site makes me really jealous. They have a contest where they try to find the “smallest, coolest apartments”. Some of the stuff is really good and it depresses me to see them do so much with such little space while I can’t figure out what to do with my huge place. I am terrible when it comes to interior design, I should probably just steal some ideas from them and get it over with… [Link]

A 1001hp Bugatti Veyron has popped up on eBay with a starting bid of only $1.7 million. The vehicle description claims the Veyron being auctioned will be one of the first 50 made and includes the VIP package, which is an invitation to visit Bugatti’s HQ in Alsace, France, test drive a Veyron and choose the color for your own. Measurements of the customer will also be transmitted to Bugatti to manufacture the custom driver seat. If you are interested in the car, then go ahead and bid on it. [Link]

My friend sent flowers to this girl he has a crush on in the UK. He placed the order online an hour ago and she just got them now. That is very fast service! He paid around KD20 for a nice small lilly vase plus a box of chocolates and delivery. [Link]

We called the vet today, turns out the reason why Chips our family dog is sick and losing weight is because he is old and not in good health. The vet is recommending we put him to sleep, and thats what we will probably end up doing. He has been in the family for over 8 years now. He isn’t perfect, no one outside our family seems to like him but thats because he doesn’t like them (he has psychological issues). I think the day before we put him to sleep I will set up an open buffet for him with all his favorite food. He will have an unlimited supply of cheese, french fries, burgers and chocolate.

I was suggesting after we put Chips to sleep that we get him stuffed. That way we can still have him in the house. My parents are totally against it though and they wouldn’t want it in their house. Nataly also doesnt want it in our apartment since she thinks the ghost of Chips will end up haunting our place.

Update: Just got back from the vet awhile ago. We put him to sleep…

I was just checking the stats of unex-t.com (my site) and it turns out I was Boing Boinged back in September and I didn’t know about it!! [Link]

Update: I had a headace yesterday night so I couldn’t write a lot. Basically Boing Boing had a post on Anime murals in Montreal. When I was on vacation 2 years ago in Montreal I took a picture of this huge and really detailed mural on this wall. So I emailed them the link and they added it.

This would look really cool on my desk at work, plus its going to be cheap. It won’t replace my fantasy of owning an Aibo, but it will do until I could afford one. Can’t wait for Amazon.com to start selling them, here it a bit of info on the iDog:

The iDog is capable of changing its feelings from happy to angry by moving it’s ears and rotating the head and by changing the color of the 7 LED lights on its head. The idog music bot has stored music sequences and melodies it will play based on the interaction with its sensors. For instance it gets happy when users touch its ears and pad on its head. It gets surprised when users touch its nose or wave in front of him. The Sega iDog will become angry when users touch its tail. A MP3 Player like the iPod can be attached to the iDog via 3.5mm audio cable. IT has a mono-speaker built-in. A microphone is also present in the iDog.

Its supposed to be released in North America in the Fall of 2005 by Hasbro and should cost $29.99. If you can’t wait that long, AudioCubes is carrying the Japanese version but for $89. Here is a link to the Japanese iDog website.

I just got this email today, amazing people, this is what I call customer service. Its good to know companies are starting to care about their customers!
