I both love and loathe that everything material that I cherish most can be packed into a bag and taken with me wherever I go. It’s probably quite sad, but my camera and laptop have become like companions to me, I would say they seem to have souls but I have never been poetic enough to say dumb stuff like that!

Finally got my new T3s today. They are utterly ridiculous. I need to give them more of a test, but they are the best quality ECH I’ve ever used. They even shaved down the plug so it wouldn’t interfere with my dermal.

When I read Stephen Fry’s very brief review of the T2s, I didn’t understand why it was so short – now I totally get it. They are just brilliant. I’ve used so many different sets of headphones before – these are the complete best.

They even come in a box that you can take 15m under water. Y’know, for when you go shallow-pool diving with your headphones but don’t want to take them out of the box because they’ll break.

My laptop, rather suddenly, gave up on me yesterday so I’ve had to get a new one. All technology seems to be against me recently. That’s quite an annoyance for a web developer/wannabe programmer.

You’re looking at our new bed/part deposit on a house. The worst part is, I’m not even excited. Is that a breakthrough?

So, I’m not normally one for morally indignant, but this is something I’m passionnate about so poke it.

While the prosthetic looks like a normal finger Jerry can peel it back from the ‘nail’ and plug it into the USB slot on his computer using it as an additional hard drive.

via Computer programmer from Finland has lost finger replaced with USB drive – Telegraph.

I’ve never been so inclined to have a finger removed as I am now. I might accidentally slam it in the car door or something.

I had a Wii, and I was always underwhelmed by the whole experience. It seems like the wavy controller stuff is shoehorned in in a lot of games just because of the whole gimmick surrounding the console. That’s not to say anything really negative about the Wii – I love Nintendo and it’s so good to see one of the game-makers from when I first started playing kicking ass (after Sega committed suicide with the Saturn), but I couldn’t get past the overbearing gimmick of the Wii.

Killzone 2 implements motion detection so subtly and so appropriately that I can’t help but be impressed by it. Turning the controller to open valve releases and set blast charges is just such an amazing touch, and fits perfectly with the oft-overlooked environmental interaction aspect of FPS games.

Loving this! Gaming is really floating my boat these days.

Oops.
