Suffer Of Nothing

Alright...shoot me...school kicked in to full gear and with other extra-curricular activities a blog post a day is in no way going to be happening. I'd be happy with once a week if I can get that through...Since it's been over two weeks I've got lots of stuff here...be happy!

• 3D Modelling App? Free?

Now THIS is uncommon...you can get one of those high-end, shmancy-fancy 3D modelling apps completely free. Just sign-up for free to become a Bronze level member. Then you'll get your code via email. Download the app and start it up, install and your golden (well bronze until you update your membership, which you don't need to) I've been using this for about a week no and the only limitations that I've found is that when going into any layers above the wire-frame layer you get the Alias logo overlayed on top of the image (as you can see to the right, that's a really simple creation I did in like 20 minutes or so) It is pretty sweet to fool around with and even make animations. It's pretty demanding on resources so make sure your computer isn't from 1998 or something ok?

• Your Music Preference, And More.

This site here is just plain awesome. You put in a band name or a song name and then it searches throughout it's database. Then it plays one song by the band you named or it plays the song you named. Once it plays through that (or you click next) it brings up a new song that it thinks you might like or is similar in still to the artist or song you named. Best of all? It transcends genres, so it doesn't just play from the same genre. Your first 10 hours are free...then you have to subscribe and pay...Still wicked though.

• Cheap Technology For All!

Here is an article running on BBC about a sub-$100 laptop for developing nations and school students. Personally I think this is great...It's got a rubber coating and a whole load of other things to keep it durable and solid. Getting technology to as many people as possible is always a great thing. You can't honestly deny it...Can you?

• Humor Break!

Alright a little break from the tech for...tech humor! Well mostly. First off, make sure you check out the Ten Commandments of Tech. Then head on over to New Grounds to watch Super Mario Reloaded (Mario/Matrix Spoof) in 16 Bit! Then if you really haven't had enough, go on over to Daring Fireball to read about Dells new DJ Ditty. Want to find out some more humour sites or the main links to those sites? Well, this link might help you. Enjoy!

• Crazy Concepts!?!

Just...Wow...I am totally speachless..I mean look at the thing does that not look totally awesome? It's called the Toyota I-Unit. You can control it slowly while in the upright position...Then move at fast speeds by moving into a lower/horizontal position...I doubt it will ever become a full-fledged real consumer product but still...wow. And then there's this car...it seems to have potential but I'm not to keen on an egg car. Check all of those links out though!

• More Microsoft

Remember that one post where I contrasted Windows Vista's new "Gadgets"? If not here is the link... Well it turned out I was right...Possibly amazing I know. What makes me so sure? Well, considering Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer admitted it I'd say I'm in the clear. Just read the last question and answer in the interview I linked above...

• Apple Spoofs!

Well it seems every Mac Geek in the known world is linking this iPod Nano spoof...If you haven't seen the iPod Nano commercials yet you might not get it but it is humourous non-the-less. And this video gives a humourous portrayal of how not to act with an iPod. Check it.

• Video Game Geeks On The Big Screen.

Well, well, well....It seems there is a movie coming that's all about the life of a Video Game Tester...here's the trailer...It looks....uhm? Interesting? Check it out for yourselves, it looks very stereotypical to me...

And so ends the suffering of nothing by this one post that is double the size of a regular post. I hope to have a couple of posts for this upcoming week but we'll see how it goes.
