DJ Hero

I don't know about you but when I heard that Guitar Hero makers, Activision were coming out with "DJ Hero," I just rolled my eyes and did not feel any excitement for the game. However, that changed when I saw this...







Apparently they have 11 original mixes in the game including:
- Daft Punk “Around the World” vs. Young MC “Bust A Move”
- Daft Punk “Da Funk” vs. NASA “Strange Enough ft. Karen O, ODB and Fatlip”
- Daft Punk “Da Funk” vs. Queen “Another One Bites the Dust”
- Daft Punk “Robot Rock” vs. Hashim “Al-Naafiysh” – Produced and mixed by The Scratch Perverts
- Daft Punk “Robot Rock” vs. Queen “We Will Rock You”
- Daft Punk “Short Circuit” vs. Boogie Down Productions “Jack Of Spades”
- Daft Punk “Technologic” vs. Gary Numan “Cars”
- Daft Punk “Television Rules The Nation” vs. No Doubt “Hella Good”

and then two megamixes featuring only their own music.

And then there's this Renegade edition of the game. (Which is way too much for me)

Now I'm actually debating whether or not I should pick this up...damn it. I just got Beatles: Rock Band too...

QLOCKTWO

I've never thought of myself as a clock/watch person but I just realized that this is the third time I've posted about a clock...

Well, the QLOCKTWO is a pretty awesome clock! It's a clock that displays the time in sentences like "It is a quarter to twelve," how cool is that? For the mere price of around $1300 you can go your very own QLOCKTWO in your choice of 5 different colors and 6 different languages. Maybe when I get my own place...

Picture taking is fun.

It's been a long hot summer and the latest hobby to occupy my time has been Lomography. It pretty much started when I was bored and decided I wanted to finally buy myself a Polaroid camera because I always loved the dreamy qualities of the instant image and its vignetting. However, much to my chagrin, I found out that Polaroid had discontinued producing the instant film for their classic Polaroid cameras. That is when I decided that I was going to experiment with "toy cameras" instead. Eventually my choices narrowed down between the Holga and the Diana F+; I went with the Diana F+ and I'm very happy I did. Unlike the instant gratification of digital cameras, Lomography uses film which can yield some unpredictable but great results...but you won't know what you get until you develop the film! And perhaps the best part about it all is that both the Holga and Diana cameras are fully customizable to fit your needs, which was great news to me when they introduced the Diana Instant Back+ because it meant that I get to turn my Diana into a Polaroid camera after all! If you're sick of all your pictures looking the same (and you don't have/care for photoshop) then I recommend picking up your very own "toy camera" too.
