Alright, so, blogging isn't really a strong spot of mine. I think that's pretty obvious right now. For any who have attempted to stay tuned for my little Wrath of the Lich King beta thing, I so still plan to do it. It will be filled with pictures, and hopefully be awesome.
But, onto the real reason I wished to update for today. I came across an incredible video, and I just had to share it. Violins; one of the most amazing sounding instruments, in that its ability to set tone and shape a mood in any musical piece is extrodinary. I've attempted to play one myself, and it's difficult enough just to get a string of notes that sound decent without having that horrible scratching sound come out. So it goes to say, someone who can play violin is talented and is well deserving of any praise they receive for their skill. Even more so when they bring the instrument to modern music.
Enter this video, an exceptional combination of a classical instrument and modern music. It's definatley worth a watch, and it's a pity this guy doesn't have a personal site (that I know of) to which I could link you all. It took me a minute or so to work out the first of the two songs he plays, mainly because I didn't know the song from its name. Check it out, it's worth it!

Simply Amazing
While reading one of my favourite tech sites, Gizmondo, I stumbled upon a thing of much awesomeness. I've said it before, but the internet is one truly horrible place, yet sometimes something comes along to redeem it.
Behold
Radio - House of Cards in Lego
In this YouTube link, you will see a video film clip for Radiohead's "House of Cards". The difference is that it's entirely rendered in lego blocks. I'm not 100% sure of the story behind it, but apparantly for their official film clip, the producers scanned in the lead singers face to 3D model it, or something to that effect. After doing so, they released the 3D mesh and data as an open source kind of thing so people could have a play around with it. Which is where this fellow comes in, and he realises he's able to transform the mesh into lego models, and with the magics of stop motion photography, comes up with this.
Simply breath taking.
On another note, I'm applying for a job as a reviewer for a website, and for the last week have been working on a sample review to include for my application. At this point, I've gotten a bit of feedback from friends, and it's in a pretty decent state of polish, and almost ready to be sent on its way. Hopefully by Monday evening it will be whisking its way through cyberspace, so keep your fingers crossed for me.
For those interested in seeing what I've written, I'll post it up after I hear back as to how I went. Wouldn't want to post it early and have some sneaky devil plagiarise it on me now, would I?

From The Depths Of The Internets
You know, the internet is a truly scary place. I mean, unbelievably scary. Some of the stuff I have found while surfing upon yon waves of information is enough to bring a grown man to his knees. Or further.
But, once in a while, you'll find something amazing. Something awesome beyond all reasoning, enough to make you forget the severe mental trauma inflicted upon your unwilling mind.
Hence, I bring you this, IT Guy Vs Dumb Employees. If you've ever worked in IT as help desk or some-such, you'll empathise with this video. It's a bit long, but more than worth it. I know I laughed heartily. So check it out, be amused and entertained.
Also, I do know I said I would have a large rant on all things R18+ for games, but I've been kinda sidetracked lately. I've been working towards writing up a letter to address the issues and concerns raised by the South Australian Attorney General on the subject, and hope to have it finished up by the end of the week. Or at least have it in a sensible, reasoned and not easily dismissed form.
Though, or internet was capped for the last few days (ugh, horrible dial-up speeds, curse you), and I've been hankering to play some Team Fortress 2. Seeing as though I'm uncapped now, that's just what I'll be doing. Oh, if you're a Team Fortress 2 player, look me up on Steam under ZOMGBananas. There's a link in that little sidebar to the right.
