Proved me wrong!

This promotional image has proved me wrong all right. Apple iMacs can play video games after all!

These four 'youths' are obviously as amazed as I am. Those raster graphics, multiple colours and that side scrolling action really make Photoshop look like last year's iGame.

And I bet it only cost a few thousand quid.

Mac OS might be playing GTAIV and Fallout3 by 2030!

I'm remaking Neon!


It's going to be even more eye punishing than the first one.

And it's free.

What rules the Google?


This graph generated by Trends shows the public interest in the club genres over the past 5 years. Drum and Bass seems to rule the waves right up until a couple of months ago when Dubstep storms into the lead.
Interestingly, Electro House seems to have just reached it's peak in popularity. What's the next big 4 on the floor genre going to be? Bassline's interest seems to have peaked about a year ago, but it was never huge, and never very good so I'm not going to miss it dearly.
Dubstep, according to Trends, seems to have been invented on the cusp of 2006. As if, on the 1st of January, all of Bristol's clubs started playing it.
Some more Tending revealed that Trance Music has been steadily declining in popularity since the early naughties.
O Rly?

It's Hot.

I'm from the UK so hot days are no commodity.
The British are unused to heat and the media refers to a warm day as a 'Heat Wave', a hot day as a 'Severe Weather Warning' and an actual heat wave as 'Global Warming has arrived!'

For some reason, this is where everyone goes when it's hot.

I think that after 10 months of complaining about the cold weather, it's nice to complain about the heat for a change. I've put my arctic coat back on the peg, worked out which T-Shirts I have which are safe to publicly wear and have started living off those Ice Pop things that cost about 6p in the corner shop.
