I Ain't No Musician


These new spaces are designed to be flexible.

So I just heard about this exceptionally talented musician from our talented chums over at Pomplamoose. They will be / have already opened for him as he tours the US of A.

You want genius? Because you can't handle this genius!



Yes he did. He took the potent, sexually laced phrase 'These new spaces are designed to be flexible' and made it into an upbeat song.

Wow. Just wow!

Scammers Get Scammed

So there is a little known scam whereby call centers in foreign countries call random people in the USA, leave a message stating that they are the IRS and demand that they call them back or face jail.


So an anonymous tech vigilante has set himself on a quest to prevent these scammers from working.
He wrote a bot(-net) that will call the scammers' phone lines a bazillion times from different numbers, thus preventing them from receiving any real calls.

LOVE IT!



The scammer has started a patreon fund so that he can be helped with the costs involved. No, this is not a scam! https://www.patreon.com/ProjectMayhem

All of his videos for the scammers - https://www.youtube.com/user/ncamp611/videos

This scam has already come to the attention of the police;



Enjoy and stay safe ;-)

Success Breeds Success - 3 Billion

Its getting close but not there yet. What am I talking about? The official video from the Furious 7 soundtrack.

At time of going to press it was at 2,902,472,946 views (ish);



'Gangnam Style' by PSY, was launched 4 years ago and has just 5 million less views. As I mentioned back in 2014, Gangnam Style Breaks YouTube,  and FYI, it is still a very catchy tune:



Justin Bieber comes third with his single 'Sorry' with only 300 million less, although it should be noted that the video is for a music single, not a movie, nor for a tribute to a dead actor. As I am not a teenage girl I am not qualified to judge Justin's talents, sufficed to say, 'well done young man'. Oh, and he isn't even in the video!



Which is a mere 300 million more than Maroon 5's 'Sugar' ;



So I guess we can conclude that music is the reason most people flock to YouTube. YouTube is wanted more for it's audio than it's video - interesting, very interesting!

Jackie Chan is Back

I do love Jackie Chan.

Humble, yet talented, this demure Hong Kong native is a martial artist, actor, film director, producer, stuntman, and apparently a singer too!

He is back in a new film that, again, changes what we now about him:



Some of his best fight scenes can be seen here - and yes, they're scorchers!!



What is unique about Jackie Chan is that he is funny, sometimes laugh out loud funny, as this Conan O'Brien in 1999:



Tom Hanks presents Jackie Chan with his Honorary Oscar, the Governor's Award;
