I've mentioned the Axis of Awesome before here. So I was, and I don't use this phrase lightly, 'well chuffed' to see them on Damn Cool Pic's blog performing a very interesting little '90s megamix  on the melodica.

As the great man says himself 'What's better than a '90s megamix? A '90s megamix played on melodica, that's what! Take a look at this compilation of '90s hits played on a curious instrument'

Another Day Off

"Bueller? Bueller?" made Ben Stein an icon. Jennifer Grey also became more popular after the film was launched in 1986 but Matthew Broderick will always be intrinsically linked with 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

So I was surprised to see that he had possibly cheapened his role by making an ad for Honda based around the film.



And then I realised - its been 25 years since the film came out!

Scary stuff indeed.

And now I'm going off to make some hot chocolate, put on my slippers and sit down in front of the TV for a few days.

Scary Scenario

Not something that keeps me awake at night, but definitely a nightmare scenario.

Some Linky Love

I've been reading my Google Reader feed more and more  these days, mainly because I'm getting fed up seeing the same misery guts reporting in the newspapers time after time.

Here are a few of my favourite posts from some awesome bloggers:

Insomniacmedic brings his 'A' game with his post Missing

Blackfork writes about his stumbling across Killer Joe Piro - back in 1942

Neptunus Lex writes his about his last foray into supersonic flight in his intoxicating post 'Night and Day'

Ambulance Driver had some not very nice news recently, so let's help cheer him up by sharing his excellent post “Winter Wings” by A Day in the Life of An Ambulance Driver

And here is a stunning picture:

Google - really? I'm that thick?

Oy! Google!!

Cut it out. Okay, I get it, you have access to my email, my photos and videos and even some of my purchases around the interwebs but now you are just taking the mickey.

As you may know I work in a Google environment. I love Google and all that they stand for. Google circles? Still getting my head around that one but otherwise, Google me blue, red, yellow and green.

But stop!

What is this?

I'm in the back end of a website doing statistical analysis of their traffic and you feel I need to know what an iPad looks like? And even if I didn't know, how will the look of a device help my analysis?

Yes Google, I love you dearly, but you caught me on a bad day.

I have been trawling the interwebs for you and found some very interesting things.

Sadly these guys are just plain NUTTERS! Watch the full 7 minutes to realise just what people are willing to do to get ahead in showbiz.

And they're seriously going to do this twice a night in a theatre if they win?

Song A Day: 1000 Days and Counting

I've been spending a lot of time on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn over the 'Season' and I found some very interesting stuff.

I found a great album by Jonny Cash - American V: A Hundred Highways

I spent nearly 20 minutes creating my new Facebook timeline picture. With pictures from Facebook.

I started listening to Grooveshark all over the place.

I started using Tweetlogix for all of my Twitter needs (@jumblerant)

I started using Flipboard on my iPhone - and my son keeps deleting it. So I keep adding it.

And then I found this nugget of greatness. This amazing introduction to a chap who I will be keeping my eye on in 2012;



I'm looking forward to hearing some great, adequate and crappy songs.
