Surf the Wave, Not the Web, Brah!
Well, a lot less fanfare than I would have liked... Ah, well.I got an invite to Google Wave last night! A victory from a two-week struggle of contacting individuals who had invites to try and snag one for myself. Great thanks to @sidoyle for actually floating me one.
So... I can't really give you a great review so far, because I don't know anyone else with Wave. Meaning I can only search public Waves... LAME. So, until I get the invites (and supply my wonderful POW readers with some), I'll leave you with these two vids explaining what Wave is.
The first is a short, basic video explaining the very basic idea of Google Wave.
The second is crazy long (almost an hour and a half), and explains almost every use and feature of Wave. If you're a tech dude or gal, this vid is WAY worth it.
Em Dub DOS!!!
For those of you who don't attend college/live in a dorm, you need to understand one thing.In dorm life, video games are king. Especially first person shooters (FPS).
So, imagine Suite 413 (where the crunk kids on our floor live) for a moment. If you've never been there (which none of you have), I'll fill you in.
Normally, our door is open, and the stereo is on full blast. This means that across the entire hall you can hear explosions whenever we're playing FPS. EVERYONE on the floor knows when we're hooked in.
The game we're usually playing? Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Quite possibly my favorite (REALISTIC) FPS, I'm addicted to that game now. So imagine now my excitement for the sequel, MW2. I can't stand it. And we aren't getting the game until this weekend!!! ARRGH!!!!
It upsets me.
To clue you in to how awesome this game is, I'll throw down a gameplay vid for you. (Shyeeeeah!)
Pan-Dimensional Space Beatles.
There are people in this world who astonish me. These people are those who get on the internet and try and sell ideas that are more or less complete junk. Those conspiracy theorists who put so much work into making something believable... Silly, all of them.What brings me here today is a website I discovered by way of @aemaury, who you may know from his remixes for RAC. He posted a tweet containing a link to a website called...
The Beatles Never Broke Up
Basically, the author claims to have traveled to a parallel dimension where he met a dimension traveler. He then claims to have stolen a tape from this world containing a yet unreleased in this world Beatles album called Everyday Chemistry. Because everyone knows The Beatles are super-intelligent, pan-dimensional beings.
The site is constructed with his story, pictures, an FAQ section, and a download of the entire album.
Here's the catch.
I downloaded the album, to find some GREAT remixes of some songs that members of The Beatles wrote while they were in solo mode. I mean, the songs are all great! But they're obviously just remixes of non-Beatles songs containing Beatles members. Nothing more.
I'd suggest going to check out the site. It's good for a laugh, and you can pull an entire Beatles remix album. Good deal, in my opinion. I'll leave you with a handy guide to the tracklist that includes the original titles, in case you want to check my detective work.
The Beatles - Everyday Chemistry1. Four Guys (Band On the Run - Paul)
2. Talking to Myself (I'm Losing You - John)
3. Anybody Else (Somedays - Paul)
4. Sick to Death (Gimme Some Truth - John)
5. Jenn (Hard Times - Ringo)
6. I'm Just Sitting Here (Watching the Wheels - John)
7. Soldier Boy (Listen to What the Man Said - Paul)
8. Over the Ocean (You are here - John)
9. Days Like These (Soft-Hearted Hana - George)
10. Saturday Night (Cold Turkey - John)
11. Mr. Gator's Swamp Jamboree (Instrumental, no lyrics to determine original)
Winter 09? That is... SOON!
Is it pathetic that I'm already incredibly excited? I'm dying to know what bands are headed around this summer...
