Band of Horses

Cease to Begin

This record sports soft, melodic rock that can put you in a mellow trance. The vocals can be compared to the soft high notes of My Morning Jacket, and the melody sounds a bit like Wilco’s ‘Sky Blue Sky’, just with a little more beat and little less guitar solos.

Rune Blues

Can anyone spare a couple-a-runes for this ol' lvl90 chap?

Scuse me dear friend,
help a good man
come make a boon
give me some runes
oooh ooh
oh give me some runes

iPhone 3G


The iPhone 3G is finally out and guess what?, it is expensive as hell, never mind the so called discount at the AT&T or your local carrier, it is in the long run waaaaay too expensive.

I'm really interested in the device, from a geek point of view, but the price is becoming a deal breaker to me (as opposed to the keyboard being the deal breaker). Maybe the company can fix me up with one, I mean it has push email right, and I need to check my email at all times, right? :P

Anyway, the community just managed to jailbreak the device and the tool should be released soon, so in the meantime 'Viva la resistance'.

As requested, this pic shows my latest addition of geekery.

Wall-e

This was a fine experience, wall-e really shines. The first half of the movie is pure art and so are the credits. It also feels like it borrowed a lot of elements from Idiocracy.
Highly recommended.

(Wall-e = Regg-e)

Diablo III

Excellent news!
After so many years Blizzard finally is going to release the sequel. Now we must wait two and a half years or so for the game to go gold.

On a slightly sad note, since the Witch Doctor class is basically a remake of the Necromancer, it is expected that the necro would no longer be a playable class, though this is pure speculation.

OssiumVorax is dead, long live OssiumVorax.

Great concept, terrible acronym


BMW presented an incredible idea for a concept car. The outer shell is made of cloth pulled taut over a structure. The engine uncovering looks like open heart surgery!

But why, oh why, do they had to name it GINA? That's a terrible name (yes I know what it stands for), I guess either they don't really care since it sounds ok in Deutsch or all the money for the project was spent when the 'naming' meetings began.
