Slack, Stunnedddddd... Set the ph ph ph Phasers.


The water is deep and I’ve stone boots. The world spins and with it so many words tumult as to ruin the alphabet. Voice over voice, argument over argument; break to commercial. We survive through the kindness of your donations, the truth floats still, and for you some satisfaction of conscience.
Idealism fashion, put on an old sweater and refuse a smoke – they’re bad for you. Children of sorrowed times, fed well and warmed through, sing songs of their tragic vampire lives. Hemmingway wrote A Farewell To Arms after Peele said it, but that never made it any less true.
I am done for now, as should you be. Run aground, there is little point in arguing seamanship. Best get to collecting coconuts.

zune vs. last.fm

In the past few months I have ditched my iPod, and went with an 80GB Zune I bought off of Woot!. Everything has been pretty awesome about the Zune, except one thing, and that is last.fm integration. I love last.fm, for those unfamiliar it is a website that keeps track of all the songs you play, and makes recommendations for new artists and songs based on your plays. (It also has an internet radio feature comparable to Pandora, but I think last.fm is better myself.) The Zune has it's social, which similarly keeps track of your song plays and recommends songs as well, I think the recommendations are much better on last.fm, and on top of that the information you have access to is much larger than with Zune. Well, with the zune it is a pain in the butt to get tracks to "scrobble" to last.fm. On the Software end you have to use a program called Zuse, which connects the zune software to the scrobbler on your desktop and sends the music to last.fm, this isn't too bad, but it seems to miss tracks every now and then, and has a tendency to crash from time to time as well. On the hardware end from my Zune itself you have to use a program called Zenses to send your played tracks from the Zune to last.fm, this is a horribly long process that can only take 50 of the played tracks at a time. One thing about all this work around that seems really weird to me is that Microsoft and last.fm are already partners on the Xbox 360, so you would think they would have partnered to bring seamless easy scrobbling to the Zune, but nope it's a big pain in the ass. I am really hoping with the recent release of Windows Phone 7 and the Zune being on there hopefully we will see some better integration. Here's to hoping. If not I will go crush the last.fm and Microsoft HQs with my giant ball.

Add me on last.fm
Add me on Zune

Unoriginal.

I am pretty bland and so is this blog. I could sit here and whine about shit, but why fucking do that. You know what would be awesome right about now... a giant fucking see-through ball that I roll around in and destroy shit. I would be sure to only destroy inanimate objects that would not ruin people's lives. So I would find rich people's cars or something. Although the more I think about it, it sounds more complicated than I wanted this to be. I wish I was a teenager then I would go TP a house or something. More profound stuff coming to this blog in the future, actually that is unlikely.

I have good news for you, Everyone is a robot, except for you.

Random thoughts about my current world:
-St. Louis Blues = The St. Louis Halaks
Because he is the Halak-ness Monster...
TSN.ca Halak Stats
-The Kinect for Xbox is pretty badass, but I think it needs some tweaks or another generation to be perfect. Never the less it is a fun time.
-I could really go for a Surge and Bold BBQ Doritos unfortunately I do not have a time machine to take me back to 2001.
-Speaking of soda I think Vault is being discontinued, which brings an opening for Surge to return.
For those unaware I am a Save Surge Hall of Famer
-For those who were previously unaware you now know I am a huge dork, but I think you likely knew that.

I really want some Imo's Pizza, so I am going to try to eat some now. So Long!
