Thailand has many kinds of Lizards




Yes, I ate all the pies. And that's an Aussie behind me, saying hello. 

So like I've spent the last couple of weeks in Thailand. What a bloody crazy place. That song from Chess about a hard man crumbling after one night is quite possibly true.

I did three and left with a wee hangover.

If I saw a well presented 20 something model in the fancy department store, the next person I saw had no arms and was lying on the ground with a cup in their mouth begging for food or baht. Next to them was a four year old doing the same thing.

If I saw a tuk tuk I saw a million of them. If I happened to get bored of the floating markets and suggest to wifey we just 'walk down this road a bit' I may have ran into an baby elephant that attempted to sexually harass me.

If I went to a tourist trap, I walked over the Bridge of the River Kwai (not it's really name, that's what stupid foreigners call it after watching too many Hollywood movies starring Old Ben Kenboi).

If I was feeling humble when I visited the war graves and saw the grave stone of a kiwi soldier who lost his life building a bloody train track, I was.


If I met a couple of Aussies on the way, they were good bastards.

If I raided the mini bar, I might have ended up on the top of a Bangkok building eating a meal with a 360 degree view of the city and its... smog.

If I relaxed on the beach, it came with a thai massage. If I ate a prawn, well, I ate them all. If I bought an Armani suit knock off, well that's what the tourists do. If I went snorkelling, I saw the united colours of Kata beach.

When I spoke Thai I was treated to a smile to end all smiles. If I handed over my money and grunted, I was apparently a rude Russian.

If I drank one Chang beer, I drank a Tiger beer too.

If I held a tiger cub in my arms, it was well treated. If I went the Phuket Zoo, my heart ached for the animal's and their mistreatment. If you want to go to the Phuket Zoo, do not. It's a rip off the the elephants and tigers and crocodiles a treated like rats in a cage. Still, I did the tourist thing and wrapped an albino python snake around me:


However, if I rode on an Elephant I may have seen the Big Budda. I learned what a mahout was and I saw loved and revered animals.

If I saw a scooter motor bike, I saw not one rider but three of four or a man carrying a pig in one arm and the BBQ in another, steering with his feet.

If I saw a lizard, I didn't tell my wife. I saw lots of lizards.

Have you ever seen an electron?


electrons

Have you ever seen an electron?


I ventured over to Seth Godin’s blog and noted he titled a post “Why celebrate Halloween?” which had the following question wrapped in a statement:

“Most of what we believe is not a result of direct experience (ever seen an electron?) but is rather part of our collection of truth because everyone (or at least the people we respect) around us seems to believe it as well.”

No, I have never seen an electron. How do I know that they exist? Because I believe what J.J. Thomson and the other fathers of science told me. A scientist said it, therefore it’s true! I accepted the authority figure telling me that something was true.

But what about the things other authoritative people try and tell me to believe?

I have not seen Jesus as explained to me by a priest, yet I don’t believe in him or his existence. Some people in society praise Allah, should I because they do? It’s called blind faith for a reason but I’d rather be blinded by science thank you very much.

What about the man and woman at 6pm on the Idiot Box telling me that George Bush is an evil person. Should I believe that when he won two American elections with a bible closely held to his breast?

Even science can be bumk. What about the Nobel Prize winner trying to convince us that large doses vitamin C cured cancer? He was a respectable authority figure that was just plain wrong.
Dear reader, I give you two more words - Tom Cruise.

If Micheal Moore hates capitalism and people watch his films and largely agree with him, should I believe that every American is a gun toting, sicko? Probably, I’ve watched Cops a few times, that’s a good a documentary as any.

If everyone believes in the same things like Reeboks, Amnesty International and floating exchange rates, who am I am to argue with them? I’m not the crowd. Though, isn’t the wisdom of crowds the right answer every time? Like that crowd in Seattle that fought that nascent battle, they showed wisdom then, right? Right.

Seth Godin’s point is that as an individual we allow ourselves to believe things because we are shaped by those around us. Whether it’s someone carrying on the tradition of Halloween, producing well researched film documentaries or a baby jesus freak preaching the word of the Bible, everyone can shape our views and thoughts.

Hell, Seth does it all the time. His readers must be pretty closed minded right?

My point is that while I prefer the “Trust No One” approach of the X-Files, you can meet the world half way. What is it you are trying to tell me world? Electrons cause electric shocks?

Jesus saves?

I’ll meet you half way.

The lies about Jesus are shocking.

Fish are Friends, Not Food: The Smiling Great White Shark


Great White Sharks have a bad reputation with swimmers and other ocean dwellers. You can thank Mr Steven Speilberg's Jaws film, the 3 sequels and few bad rip offs for that. The kids film Finding Nemo finally showed that Great White's had been horribly misaligned as the oceans's bad boys. Bruce's line, "Fish are friends, not food" proved almost beyond doubt that these sharks were indeed friendly.  






Now an ocean photographer, Amos Nachoum, has shown the Jaws was wrong and Nemo was indeed right. Great White Sharks are friends! Check out this picture of a supposedly 14 foot Great White appearing to smile for the camera. Those razor sharp pearly whites seem especially friendly! 


The shark was snapped in this unusual pose near Guadalupe Island off Mexico's Pacific coast. Maybe he just wanted the diver to check for baby seal in his teeth?

The Angels and Demons Guide to high rankings on Google via SEO


angels and demons dan brown seo guide



The Angels and Demons Guide to high rankings on Google via Search Engine Optimisation tricks


So you have a website and you think it’s a better read than Dan Brown’s new novel 'The Lost Symbol' but unlike Dan Brown’s 100 million plus readers you have 6. What do you do?

Applying this simple Angels and Demons Guide to high search engine rankings will help you get that reader recognition you deserve!

SEO Angels:
  • Write page turners. People read The Da Vinci Code because it was a gripping yarn and went down well with a well made homebrewed beer. Dan Brown offers puzzles and then helped the reader along by solving them. Your blog writing needs to help the reader along too – help them solve their problem by giving them a recipe for your grandmother’s cake or how to take down the Illuminati. No one cares what you ate for breakfast.
  • Link to things that are useful. Dan Brown is always giving you the facts with a twist. Angels who link to useful information are sharing the link love and are rewarded by Google with better ranking placement on its result pages.
  • Remind your readers and Google who you are. Dan Brown constantly refers to Robert Langdon’s Mickey Mouse wristwatch to remind the reader of the way the character thinks. Internal linking within your posts using appropriate anchor text helps Google understand what’s important on your site and what makes it tick. When I tell Google that this page is a U2 Concert Set List from New Jersey, it understands the context way better than “this is my blog”. The more specific the internal link, the better Google likes it.
  • Every one of your posts needs an awesome title post to capture the reader’s attention. Angels and Demons? I’ll bite. The Lost Symbol? Sure, I’ll find that. Will your readers bite with a post called “Scone Recipe”? No, so be an angel and title it “Scones that taste better than that of 1000 Grandmothers!” You get what I mean right? Add the butter!
  • Dan Brown is a demon at creating good imagery. And so should your posts, fill them with pictures to give the reader better context about what you’re telling them. At the least it breaks up the text and gives your site a little colour. Google also likes to index pictures and will send visitors your way. Remember, filling in a description of the picture using the "alt” tags is good SEO practice! (if using Blogger check the 'Edit HTML' button in the post writing section and find the tag once you have imported your picture into the post).
SEO Demons:
  • Dan Brown is maligned by the critiques for producing some really odd sentence structures. “The famous man looked at the red cup” arguments apply to your website pages. Make them reader friendly. Don’t be a demon by filling your pages with random keywords. Readers want easy to read pager turners! Like, read these themes of M.Night Shyamalan's The Village.
  • Every Dan Brown novel as a twist. Don’t be a Leigh Teabing and turn on your hero (readers!) by going trying to kill them with gross amounts of advertising, special offers and non related info. Stay on target with your message. Readers will come to your site for the tea and not the killer cognac.
  • Demons wear black hats and robes. Don’t be a demon. Don’t be tempted to do any of the dodgy tricks that you might find on the internet. Google will see through you faster than you saw the plot holes of The Lost Symbol and penalise you for it. Stick to good white hat practices and the Angels will show you the way to higher Google rankings.
  • Dan Brown created the current puzzle solving mystery band wagon. Don’t be a demon and bluff your way through with a rip off of his plots. Don’t copy another’s work, write your own. In a similar vein, if a news event inspires you, don’t simply re post it, add your own original thinking to it. Some blogs attract terrific readerships by simply providing wise commentary on the news events of the day. Are you up to it?
  • Don't cast an invisible spell on your text. You might be thinking, 'Hey! A good use of keywords is good seo and the more I fit on the page the better AND if I hide them I can fit more on the page!'. Wrong! Google knows this lil trick and will penalise your page if you do this.
Employing the hints and tricks in this guide is a simple and effective way to get some love from the Google search engine. I know, I do them myself with good SEO results!

Jimmy Jangles reviews Halo 3:ODST




So as I did with Halo 3, I went and got my hands on ODST at midnight. I arrived at EB Games early was confronted with lots of teenagers with acne, Lord of the Rings fans and a seriously troubling amount of goatee beards. What singled me out from them? Perhaps it was my mum didn't drop me off...

So with two bottles of V, and a packet of Twisties I was set to jump in and be a ... Helljumper.

Game setting: Heroic, No skulls. Attitude: keen to explore a little, keeping it clean, mostly interested in the story.


The Review:

An interesting opening scene falls way to a very dull start. Walk around Mombassa, find a few things, shoot a few things. The real action of ODST is the vignettes where the Rookie (you)You get to play in the scenes the Rookie is piecing together traces what has gone on in the past 6 hours. Bungie step up big time in this regard and deliver some remarkably fun set pieces to play. Blowing up bridges, heavy defence scenarios, sniping, strange looking creatures and decent enemy AI means some seriously fun engagments. I did however find wandering through Mombassa slow going and quite dull at times. If I had to call fault on one thing, it's how Bungie consistently fail to decent face detail for their human characters in the Halo series.

halo odst battle shot
The music was very different to previous Halo games. There was no cast back to previous Halo themes here. When playing as the Rookie, the music was moody with saxophones. When belting out the pain to attacking Brutes and Hunters the music was punchy.

The plot evolves around a secret mission that is foisted on the Rookie and his team. It's not explained till the very end why everything is happening and it's hardly anything to write home about but it's nice in its own way. A small payoff at the cut scene following the credit roll will make some fans happy.

Overall I found ODST to be a remarkably solid game. It took me around 8 hours which seemed long enough. Playing through on Legendary will take some patience as there are some tough battle scenarios to run a through and some Libraryesque levels near the end. Playing this game feels like Halo 2 perhaps should have - all the benefits of the bells and whistles of the third with an OK ending. It has big repeat value and the addition of Firefight!

Fans of Halo will probably enjoy this game a fair bit. If you are a noob, I suggest you check out Halo 3 before you try ODST.

P.S. Did anyone figure what whvidldshbyjsdo is in reference to yet?

What makes a movie quote so brilliant? 

Is it the timing? 

Is it the delivery? 

Is it the actor?

Is it Maybelline?

Is the quote ironic? 

Perhaps the quote sums up the whole movie as in 'We rob banks' from Bonnie and Clyde. 

Perhaps it just makes us laugh.

Whatever your reasons, enjoy the AFI's Top 100 Movie Quotes.

# Quotation Character Actor Film Year
1 "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" Rhett Butler Clark Gable Gone with the Wind 1939
2 "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse." Vito Corleone

3 "You don't understand! I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I could've been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am." Terry Malloy Marlon Brando On the Waterfront 1954
4 "Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore." Dorothy Gale Judy Garland The Wizard of Oz 1939
5 "Here's looking at you, kid." Rick Blaine Humphrey Bogart Casablanca 1942
6 "Go ahead, make my day." Harry Callahan
Clint Eastwood Sudden Impact 1983
7 "All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up." Norma Desmond Gloria Swanson Sunset Boulevard 1950
8 "May the Force be with you." Han Solo Harrison Ford Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope + title crawl font - oBI-wAN  QUOTES 1977

99 "I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog too!" Wicked Witch of the West Margaret Hamilton The Wizard of Oz 1939
100 "I'm the king of the world!" Jack Dawson Leonardo DiCaprio Titanic 1997

The endurance of these quotes in popular culture is a testament to their power to distill a complex moment, character, or theme into a few memorable words. 

Many stick around because they tap into universal human emotions that resonate across generations. Lines about love ("You had me at 'hello'"), defiance ("Go ahead, make my day."), or existential despair ("I coulda been a contender.") connect with our own experiences. 

They are often delivered at the peak of dramatic tension, and the actor's performance burns the words into our memory. Because they are concise and emotionally charged, they become easy to recall and apply to our own lives, serving as powerful expressions for feelings we all share.

Beyond their emotional impact, these quotes survive because they become a form of cultural shorthand. Through repetition, parody, and homage in other shows, commercials, and everyday conversation, they transform from simple dialogue into shared cultural touchstones. 

When someone says, "I'll be back," they aren't just quoting a movie; they're invoking the entire persona of an unstoppable force, a promise delivered with absolute certainty. 

This ability to instantly communicate a complex idea, mood, or character archetype makes them incredibly useful and fun to use. 

They become part of our collective language, a way to connect with others who share the same repository of cinematic memories, ensuring their fame long after the film's credits have rolled.

Why? Because it's the Optimus Prime Experiment!

What plot elements should Transformers 3 have?


What plot elements should Transformers 3 have?

bumblebee picture transformers
The first two transformer movies have been set on Earth where the good Autobots basically try and defend Sam and the humans from the evil Decepticons so to allow humanity their rights of freedom as being sentient beings. That's what makes humans being, you know.

Fights in forests with Optimus taking on Megatron, Starscream and that other dude are awesome enough but what we need now is interstellar space battles: Transformers 3's plot should take place in space as much as possible.

So what does one do in space? Visit planets. Visit home worlds like Cybertron. Learn about the origins a little more.

The third movie needs to have the Autobots searching for something they need to SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

In movie parlance, this is the McGuffin, a plot device to make things tick over to help solve the PROBLEM. Every film needs a McGuffin. For the first animated movie it was the Matrix of Autobot Leadership. The second had the All Spark, the third some kind of variant on the Leadership Matrix.

The Autobots should be looking for the The Key of Light in space, on a new planet or on Cybertron itself. In fact, let's call it The Key of Light!

But what is the Key of Light for? It solves the problem. And would the problem be? In the end there can only be one problem, and his name is UNICRON. The Shiva of the Universe. Destroyer of Worlds. The biggest bad ass robot there is:


So the threat would be that Unicron is going to destroy Earth / Cybertron / Solar System whatever. It's what will tie the whole plot together.

What should happen to Sam Witwicky? Well hopefully he gets lost in space along the way....

So basically what I'm saying is that the overall frame work of Transformers 3 should have the plot elements of Transformers: The Movie.

You could have the Megatron vs Prime battle but with the reverse result. Megatron dies defeated by Prime. For whatever reason his body is cast aside into space and is collected by Unicron, who then turns him into Galvatron as per the animated movie. At the end of the movie Prime kills Galvatron with a blade to the face after being betrayed by Star Scream. Classic move Starscream, classic move bro!

How do they deal with Unicron? A good old fashion Blitzkrieg. Just have all the Autobots and Decepticons unite to attack Unicron just as he is about to destroy Earth / Cybertron / Solar System.

As with all 2nd sequels, just throw the kitchen sink at the guy. Have the Aerial Bots, Predacons, Dinobots, Ultra Magnus, Soundwave and Shockwave, Blur, etc throw everying at Unicron. The Key of Light is finally used at the end of the fight. Unicron is taken out by a blast of light - and in referencing the animated movie, Unicron's red eye is blown out as the climax, the shards killing off a few decepticons while we're at it.

Sub plots could involve:
  • Earth's leaders handwringing about whether to launch nuclear missles into space at Unicron (they do, it fails miserably).
  • Sam have to rescue his new girlfriend from the Decepticons.
  • Bumblebee actually doing some scouting (or joke reference to the Boy Scouts).
  • Prime being tested by the Autobots for making bad decisions (the start of movie could have him make a bad call that gets like 3 autobots killed, Grim Lock could challenge for the Leadership).
  • Soundwave in robot form.
  • Space bridges between Earth and Cybertron.
  • You can have Hot Rod but none of this Rodimus Prime nonsense. Prime Lives!!
What do you think? Fly or Die? What do you want to see in Transformers 3?

Top 7 Songs with whistling in them


It is the most human of instruments, produced with nothing but air and intention. The whistle is a primal form of melody, a sound that can feel both deeply personal and universally understood. In music, it’s a powerful tool, capable of cutting through the densest production to deliver a moment of pure, unvarnished emotion.

It can be a carefree flourish, a haunting premonition, or a vulnerable confession. The following seven songs are masterclasses in the art of the whistle, each using this simple technique to achieve something unforgettable.

1. Patience by Guns N' Roses

The Insight: Coming off the explosive success of Appetite for Destruction, Guns N' Roses released the EP G N' R Lies, which showcased a startlingly different side to the "most dangerous band in the world." On the acoustic half, "Patience" stood out, and its power begins with Axl Rose's iconic whistled intro. More than just a melody, it's a statement. 

It's the sound of vulnerability from a notoriously volatile frontman, a moment of quiet reflection that feels startlingly genuine. Accompanied by the intricate interplay of three acoustic guitars, the whistle acts as a disarming preface to a song about the agony of waiting, making the raw emotion of the lyrics hit that much harder.

2. Winds of Change by Scorpions

The Insight: Few musical motifs are so inextricably linked to a historical moment. Inspired by their experience playing the Moscow Music Peace Festival in 1989, Klaus Meine captured the electricity and hope of the impending end of the Cold War in this timeless power ballad. 

The whistled melody is its soul. Simple, clean, and instantly memorable, it transcends language barriers, becoming a folk anthem for a world on the brink of transformation. 

The genius of the song lies in the contrast between the whistle's humble simplicity and the track's grand, sweeping arrangement. It is the small voice of the people, amplified into a global chorus of hope.

3. Waitress by Live

The Insight: Buried at the end of a track simmering with 90s angst and frustration, the whistled outro of "Waitress" is a moment of profound artistic ambiguity. The song, a highlight from the massively successful album Throwing Copper, builds a narrative of intense, almost violent tension. Then, instead of a final crash, it evaporates into a detached, placid whistle. 

What does it mean? Is it the narrator's nonchalant exit after a chaotic encounter? Is it the sound of sanity fraying? Or is it a moment of ironic peace? 

The lack of a clear answer is its brilliance. It’s a sonic question mark that transforms a great rock song into a lingering piece of art.

4. Don't Worry, Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin

The Insight: Bobby McFerrin's 1988 hit is a marvel of vocal ingenuity, built entirely a cappella. The song became a cultural phenomenon, but its ubiquity sometimes obscures its simple brilliance. The whistling is the purest distillation of the song's message. It is the sound of uncomplicated joy, a musical shrug of the shoulders at life's complexities. 

While the song was later both celebrated and satirized for its perceived naivety, the whistle remains a perfect, unadorned expression of its core philosophy. It's the sound of a choice, the choice to be happy, and it needs no further accompaniment.

5. Engel by Rammstein

The Insight: Rammstein has built a career on subverting expectations, and the intro to "Engel" is a perfect example. The song opens with a synth-emulated whistle, a clean, almost innocent melody that feels jarringly out of place. It’s a deliberate lure. 

Drawing on the dark undercurrents of German folklore, the whistle acts like the witch's gingerbread house, an inviting sound that beckons the listener into a world of industrial heaviness, pounding drums, and gothic themes of fallen angels. It's a masterful use of contrast, where the whistle serves as a deceptive mask of innocence hiding a much darker reality.

6. Always Look On the Bright Side of Life from Monty Python’s Life of Brian

The Insight: This is more than a song; it's a philosophical statement delivered via whistling. In the climax of Life of Brian, a film that satirizes everything from religion to political extremism, Eric Idle offers one final, glorious piece of absurdity. What makes the whistling so powerful is its communal nature. 

It’s not one man finding solace, but a group of condemned men joining in a collective act of cheerful defiance. It's the ultimate expression of the British "stiff upper lip," twisted into a surreal anthem that has since been adopted as a staple at funerals, a testament to its strange, profound ability to find light in the absolute darkest of places.

7. Jealous Guy by John Lennon

The Insight: Originally conceived as the nature-focused "Child of Nature" during the Beatles' time in India, the melody was later repurposed by Lennon for this starkly honest confession on his *Imagine* album. 

The whistled solo is the emotional centerpiece of the track. It's not a performance; it's a musical sigh. You can hear the breath, the slight imperfections, the wavering pitch—all of which contribute to its crushing sincerity. It conveys a vulnerability that a more polished guitar or piano solo might have missed. It’s the sound of a man, stripped of his icon status, admitting his flaws in the most intimate way possible.

In an era of limitless digital sounds and complex production, the enduring power of the whistle is a reminder that the most effective musical tool is often the most human one. Whether signaling hope, dread, sorrow, or joy, it is a direct line from the artist's breath to the listener's ear - a simple, timeless, and profoundly resonant sound.

Quotes from Micheal Bay's original Transformers movie



Optimus Prime Cosplay
Optimus Prime Cosplay
Here's some Optimus Prime quotes from the very first Micheal Bay directed Transformers movie in 2007. A few of them are classic quotes culled from the animated series and the original animated Transformers: The Movie.

Quotes from Revenege of the Fallen can be found here.
  • [Opening Movie line Prime Quote] Before time began, there was...the Cube. We know not where it comes from, only that it holds the power to create worlds and fill them with life. That is how our race was born. For a time we lived in harmony, but like all great power, some wanted it for good...others for evil. And so, began the war. A war that ravaged our planet until it was consumed by death. And the Cube was lost to the far reaches of space. We scattered across the galaxy, hoping to find it and rebuild our home. Searching every star, every world. And just when all hope seemed lost, message of a new discovery drew us to an unknown planet called...Earth. But we were already too late.
  • Freedom is the right of all sentient beings. [Prime and the Autobot's creed]
  • [Introduction to Sam] My name is Optimus Prime. We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron.
  • What's crackin little bitches? [Jazz introducing himself to Sam and Michela]
  • [The Robot steps on Ron Witwicky's backyard decorations] Oops! [to Sam] Sorry, my bad.
  • Prime [gazes at Jazz's corpse] Aww, Jazz...We lost a great comrade, but gained new ones. [referring to the Sam and the soldiers] Thank you, all of you. You honor us with your bravery.
  • We've learned Earth's languages through the World Wide Web.
  • [Prime to Sector 7 personnel] Taking the children was a bad move. Autobots, relieve them of their weapons!
  • Autobots, roll out! (classic quote from the cartoon series)
  • Autobots, re-con!
  • It's you and me, Megatron!
  • [Prime to Megatron] At the end of this day, one shall stand...one shall fall
  • [Optimus looking at Megatron's destroyed body] You left me no choice, brother.
  • [Bumblebee pops an oil filter at Simmons, then leaks lubricant over the Sector 7 personnel as if he were urinating on him] Bumblebee, stop lubricating the man!
  • [What has become Prime's classic film ending quote ] With the Allspark gone, we cannot return life to our planet. But fate has yielded its own reward: a new world to call home. We live among its people now, hiding in plain sight, but watching over them in secret, waiting...protecting. I have witnessed their capacity for courage, and though we are worlds apart, like us, there's more to them than meets the eye. I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars: We are here. We are waiting.
  • Written on the side of the police car robot, Barricade, was the logo 'to punish and enslave' which is a play on American police officers motto of 'protect and serve'. The front quarter police logos have the Decepticon symbol on them and the writing "Pacis Quod Alcedonia", Latin for "Still, Halcyon Days of Peace", and "Incorporated since June 1865".
