| A rather impressive music video that was on Rage last night; Faithless' "I Want More" (high|low quality download, from the Faithless flash-filled site). You can't get eight professional ballet dancers to be half as synchronised as these hundreds of North Korean children (and adults). An amusing set of scenes to be set to dance music - surely anyone who has seen this video will be too embarrassed to dance to the music in public. Unless they can do somersaults 20 feet in the air, and have several friends who can also do so in perfect synchrony. Then again, I'd expect people to be too embarrassed to dance to dance music ever, simply because people in clubs can't dance. On a related note, SDP Receiver is a nice free program for downloading and saving streaming content, instead of wasting bandwidth all over the place by downloading it every time you want to watch. They also document the protocols, though unfortunately they haven't released protocol libraries. And on an unrelated note, the cartoon series Cybersix is rather good. Its animation style is like a cross between Batman: The Animated Series and generic anime in a Vampire Hunter D sort of range. The plot coherency is also such a cross. The only word to describe such a thing, which isn't really a word but does have to be said, is Batmanime. If you want to see it, suprnova may be your friend. And on an even less related note, Roulette Chocolate is a great idea. But tsk, no dark chocolate version. And if they're only ordinary chillis then they're for wusses. You need at least serranos for this sort of thing, if not habaneros. Or, since it's replacing praline filling, wasabe paste would be rather good. That way you'd get a delicious treat or extremely cleared sinuses - it's win-win! [23:54] |
