From “Already Gone”
You know that I love you enough to let you go
Bullshit. I’m pretty sure it’s “I love you enough to hold on tight“

I’m a huge fan of collaborations, and I don’t think they come any better than this. Ne-Yo is one hell of a singer (and dancer), and Kanye West, well, talent personified. Keri Hilson is pretty okay I guess, but not quite on the level of the other two.

Regardless, it’s an awesome song, and unfortunately I [...]

Special triple x edition of Music Mondays featuring yet another song I just heard once on the radio, but fell in love with instantly: The Show by Lenka. From the slow, melodic start to the rhythmic finish, it really captures your attention and doesn’t let go. I haven’t heard much else from Lenka, but The [...]

That’s MODOK. It stands for Mobile Organism Designed Only for Killing. He’s been somewhat of a joke in the past. I mean, c’mon, he’s a floating head on a chair! But in Super-Villain Team-Up, MODOK’s 11, he’s shown to be pretty smart as well, and deservedly shares the name of one of the smartest movies [...]

When I caught Star Trek earlier this week, I was pretty surprised to find that a small popcorn and drink combo set is $7.60! If you think about it, that’s more than the price of a movie ticket on weekdays (granted it’s 10 cents more. But more is more).
Seriously though, what’s up with that?
Here’s what [...]

First off: There will be spoilers in this blog post, so if you haven’t watched the Lost season five finale, don’t read this until you have!
Wow where to even begin? I guess the best way would be to tackle 1977 and 2007.
1977:
Lots of stuff here. Pity Sawyer didn’t kill Phil, but glad he died anyway.
I [...]

I finally got down to buying the final two volumes of The Exterminators by Simon Oliver and Tony Moore, and once I started, I couldn’t put them down until I was done.
The story starts simply. Henry James joins Bug Bee Gone, a pest extermination company, where he has all sorts of weird experiences with the [...]

Unlike many Trekkies, I haven’t waited for years for a new Star Trek film. In fact, prior to watching the show today, I wasn’t sure which incarnation of Star Trek was which and found myself wondering “when’s Worf going to show up?”, until I realised that was a different Star Trek.
Armed with that much “knowledge” [...]

Another YouTube musician, and this time, the term “musician” is actually valid. Watch this video (a cover of 4 Minutes by Madonna, Justin Timberlake and Timbaland) and you’ll see why!

I think it’s one thing to sing, it’s another to really make music, which is what she did here.
Thanks to Jo for the heads up!

I got an email from Marc of Text 100 awhile back:
URL shortening services are great, especially for microbloggers. However they provide fraudsters with a golden opportunity to exploit the service for phishing and spamming. For example we now witness get-rich-quick schemes simply banking on the perceived legitimacy of the shortening service.
In addition:
