    Look who got an iPhone!

     
    You knew it was coming.
     
    And now its here!
     
    Stephen Colbert gets an iPhone:
     
     
    (For some queer reason Spaces wont support the Comedy C player  - probably cause based on the original Macromedia player - so just click on the link & watch it on the website).
     
    Ill upload a youtube version, once it gets on there.
     
    Do check it out though. Totally worth it!

    So Halo 3 comes out September 25!
     
    Excited?!
     
    Welll.....personally im looking forward, more to the Halo 2 for PC than part 3 for 360.....but that's just me!.
     
    With less than 2 months till the release date, MS is really gearing up.
     
    They already announced that 'Limited Edition Halo Zune' back in March & a couple of weeks ago they announced a 'Halo 3 360'. 
     
    Both are green and hideous imho, but maybe its because I once heard:
     
    "All the good things in life are FREE!"Big Grin
     
     
    So here you go with the bestest things around (Official & legal that is!):
     
    Halo 3 Downloads.
     
    In addition to  the usual Screensavers & Wallpapers, you get Spaces/Messenger dp's and 3 tones - Which, Albeit for the 3rd, are pretty lame I think.
     
    Grab the gear whilst its hot!.Wink

    Seeing is beliving!

     
    Found this on Symbian-Freak:
     
     
       
     
    Nokia really have been going at it with viral's for the n95.
     
    The latest being a website: 'Jealous Computers'.
     
    You can read "First Hand Testimonials" & among other things, download a couple of "disguised" tones.
    (The whistling one is pretty SHWEET!)
     
    -----
     
    Sure its more of a gimmick, but s60 devices are quite powerful.
     
    They wont be able to replace a pc all together, but with on board wi-fi, they really do a pretty good job with basic tasks.

    Hawd god, god damn!

     
    The weather is total s**t these days. - Baking, but its raining plenty all around (Floods).
     
    Now that should not be an excuse not to look good (or make a few bucks for that matter).
     
    Some quick thinking British retailer is selling these:

    Awww!, A cute lil squirrel!

     
    EEK! RUN!
     
    Found this on Engadget.
     
    GPS-equipped spy squirrels 'arrested' by Iranians.
    (Make sure u read the comments Tongue out).
     
     
     
    Effing hillarious!
     
    Although, I'd love to know how they were 'caught'.
     
    All 14 of em! Tongue out.
     
    Its completely plausible though. I've seen earlier research that Mice are great with directions.
     
    Several companies have equipped them with gps & used em for research + we ourselves mess with Dogs on the borders, so why not? Tongue out.
     
    Read the original story Here.
     
    Intresting that the story was posted from Israel.....Hmmm Thinking. I wonder if Olmet & co would do a Prisinor exchange! Tongue out.

    Complete Overhaul

     
    As you have probably already noticed, I've turned this blog on its head!Vampire Bat.
     
                           
                                 WELCOME TO MONKEY BUSINESS 0.4 Monkey
                                               
                                                       (4th time I've tinkered with itBanana).
     
     
    You'll notice:
     
    • There's a brand-spanking-new theme. I had been wanting to change the old black for quite a bit now. (It was there for about 9 months now!Dont tell anyone). Wanted to go for something more summery. Would have preferred something pink or orange, but the change was proving to be too drastic as most of the content has been optimized for darker color schemes and all the fonts/styles were coming out....well, f**cked really.
        I Feel that the new theme compliments most of the content posted on these pages, is markedly lighter than the previous one & after you get used to the change, should prove a more pleasant experience.
     

     
    • The second thing you should notice right off the bat should be the page layout.
     Previously there was a small narrow bar on the left & two broader bars towards the right.
     
     I always felt that this was the optimal view as the largest amount of content was visible right at the top.
     
    As the content grew though, the page started getting cluttered & according to feedback, overwhelming at times.
     
    The new layout gives maximum space to the blogged items & hopefully you wont have to click on blog to view a pic properly - @least not every time. I still recommend that blog entries are viewed at the BLOG page. You can go to it by clicking on the 'BLOG' item in RED or by using the space tool.
     
     
     
    • I've changed the color & style of 'Monkey Business'. Not anything ground-breaking, but the old burnt- orange in Tahoma dint really go too well with the new theme. This looks much pleasant, although a bit dull.

     
     
     
    • The 'Toolbar' has been moved right under the title & is the easiest way to navigate the pages. Just click on the desired option to view the page in its optimal view.
     

     
    • Photo's have been moved from the right column to the largest possible view & right at the top. This will probably feel the biggest difference, but at least there would be decent sized pictures :).  I'd still recommend clicking on the Photo's link as the Spaces tool tends to get stuck on one photo + Full page views are more fun! Big Grin.
        Btw, there's some pretty amazing stuff in the new album. Please do check it out!

     
    • Below Photo's, to the right & below the media player on the left, You will notice different feeds.
        The one's on the right are Reuters International & Top News feeds, while the one's on the left are from BBC Sport (int ed) & Red Sox news from Boston.com.
     
    I would have added Soccernet too, but if you've ever used an ESPN feed, you would know they suck big-time. Look for a Man U feed once the season starts! Big Grin.
     

     
    • The Movies pane on the right has been shrunk to only show movie posters. If you want to read my acclaimed reviews, just click on one of the Red buttons & you should be able to read themStar. (All that text doesn't obstruct the Blog this way & improves the overall look).
     

    • Recently added links towards the bottom left of the page. Right now its to some really kool music blogs, but ill be adding a variety of stuff as time goes.
     
    If you want your site to appear OR would like to participate in link exchange, shoot me a message Good luckDancingYin Yang.
     
    These pages have hopefully become even more fun for everyone.
     
    If there are any comments, suggestions or feedback of any kind, please do let me know.
     
    Oh! & I do apologize for posting a picture of  the naked baby. HAUNTING! Surprise.

    Remember THIS?!

    Now:
     
    grown ass
     

    Homer Horny for Pagan God?!

     
    homer and pagan
     
    Post blatantly stolen from Skeet. (Read it here).
     
    Im posting this, not because Im stoked for the Simpsons movie, no im not impressed by the "brilliance" of the marketing team & in no way am I aroused by Homers diaper (o_O!),
     
    what caught my eye was this quote:
     
    "

    "Ann Bryn-Evans, joint Wessex district manager for The Pagan Federation, said: “It’s very disrespectful and not at all aesthetically pleasing.

    “We were hoping for some dry weather but I think I have changed my mind. We’ll be doing some rain magic to bring the rain and wash it away.”

    She added: “I’m amazed they got permission to do something so ridiculous. It’s an area of scientific interest.

    "

    So fig on the right is a was made by pagans pre WWII days?! & its re-chalking & trimming is maintained regularly?!.
     
    Damn! Lets hope Homer doesn't endure the pagan figure's Wrath!
     
     
    d'oh!
     

    Whickady WHACK!

     
     
    Im too busy rolling on the floor with laughter, so just watch it:
      
     
     
     To get the backstory, download the show here(mp3).
     
    Remember kids. Stay off of drugs! :P
     
     
    RAVE!!

    Gone Baby Gone!

     
    Remember 'Gone Baby Gone' the movie being directed by Ben Affleck (Based on Dennis Lehane's novel).
     
    Well the initial poster:
    Gone Baby Gone Poster
        
     
      & trailer are out:
      
     
     
     
    Looks ok. Would be painfully slow, like Mystic River, but I tend to like Casey (Last Kiss, Oceans series) & the movie will surely give his rising star a further boost.
     
    Ed Harris looks great imo. I was watching some really old movie of his the other day & its a shame his name doesnt crop up when u think; Great Actors.
     
    Michelle Monaghan looks a lot like Anne Hatteway---or is it just me??. Hmmm...
     
    Anyways, the movie comes out in November & is sure to be considered for lots of awards.
     
    Missy is Back!
     
    She has some bits on the new(est) Futardo single -(She has em flying all over these days!)- called "Do It!".
     
    The songs O.K & the official vids not out so you can check this out in the meantime:
      
     
     
     
     
     Its moving pictures + the song. Not the greatest of quality, but you get the idea.
     
    Something that does have an official Vid:
     
    PVD's first track of the new album "White Lies" Feat Jessica Sutta (<She's one of the PCD trannies).
     
     
    I dunno WHY, but i kinda like it....its fairly generic & seems pointless, but it sticks with you :S. Hard to explain.
     
    Check it: (btw, Jessica looks Tran-tastic! :P)
      
     
    So, about a month ago I posted that these pages were approaching close to a 1000 views for 07.
     
    Well, the time that im writing these words, the views are  1100+.
     
    I know that does sound too impressive, but I dont link these pages out much so, getting 100+ views a month means im probably doing something right.
     
    Hopefully i can double this amount by the end of the year.
     
    Linkage & feedback is always appreciated ;).

    Some ppl never learn!

     
    I'm refering to myself here, as like everyone else, I dint give any hope to Brazil doing anything in the latest edition of Copa America.
     
    Hell!, most of the big names were missing, they were beaten 2-0 by Mexico & the way Argentina had been playing, they were clear underdogs for the final.
     
    But being Brazil, they have won it 3-0.
     
    To rub it in, the second goal was an OG by Robery Ayala. The Argentinian captain & a veteran of 115 caps!.
     
     
    It may not be a fair result if you look at the entire tournament & Argentina would be extra bitter as it turned out to be a repeat of the last C-A final, but you have to admit to the utter dominance of International football by Brazil.
     
    They win even when a C team is playing subpar!.
     
    Dunga's comments at the end were great.
     
    to paraphrase: "I have nothing to say to the ppl who criticized us. Victory speaks for itself.
     
    All my players are winners as they are from poor backgrounds with no resources & still have worked hard to acheive the success today.".
     
    Brilliant!.
     
     
    To celebrate, watch the Amazing
     
    "Walk it Out"
     

     
    Disclaimer: I admit!.
     
    The entire footy related post was a bs excuse to share the vid! :P.
     
    I dont care.
     
    Its an awsome vid & is sure to 'make your day'!.
     
    Watch it (again!)   ;)
     
     
     
     
     
     

    A few things..

     
    First off,
     
    Ill avoid a separate post since this is speculation really; The Dark Knight will supposedly have alot of villains.
     
    We already know that the main villain is going to be Joker & that Aaron Eckhart is enacting Two-Face (Harvey Dent for those unfamiliar).
     
    We already got glimpses of Scarecrow, Ras, Falcone & Gamble in pt1 and I've been reading persistent rumors that there is going to be a presence of the Riddler.
     
    The internets is always rife with rumors and most of this is probably that.
     
    Even though Spidey3 was bemoaned for having 'too much going on', Its not alien to a single issue of BM to have a lot of baddies, especially if there is an Arkham scene as most of these guys are locked up there anyway's.  
     
    Gamble  is the crooked cop and he along with Zaz, Ras, Falcone & to some extent Scarecrow & Riddler are side characters. (i.e the plot is not focused on them).
     
    Joker & Two-Face on the other hand have always chewed up the scenery & with all the emotion involved, it would be stupid (IMHO) to sideline their stories with other shenanigans.
     
     
    Speculating is always fun, so here goes. I think Joker would be introduced as the menace in Gotham. They will also focus on Harvey dent the DA who is running for office. Towards the end they will show 'the courtroom scene' (that's where he originally gets scarred). They could have some scenes of the (emotional) trauma he goes through & will probably set it up for the third installment.
     
    If Harvey is one of the focal characters, then we will probably see Gary Oldman get a good amount of screentime. - Always a good thing!.
     
     
    Scarecrow was a character I always loved/dreaded due to the mental state & mystery that surrounded him. You never knew if he would go berserk or break down crying. (I remember a few times when he surrendered himself & went back to Arkham).
     
    However its done, the man at the helm = Chris Nolan. We need not worry :).
     

     
    I was talking to a friend the other day & he brought up, how Tim Burton would change the batman today & how he would change Nolan's work.
     
    My only response was "He would make it weird(er)!".
     
    In fairness to Burton though, the original BM was released in '89.
     
    A totally different time.....technology, politics, thought process of the ppl, studios took less risks, DC was in a much different shape than it is today etc etc.
     
    What I remember from that movie is:
     
    Michael Keaton was the second gayest/stupidest choice for Batman since Val Kilmer........Oh wait. Make that 3rd. I forgot that George Clooney donned the cape as well.
     
    But really, he looked confused and out of place in most of the movie. The scenes where he's having flashbacks, it seemed he'll yell any second "KUTTTAY!!!"(<- literal translation = Dog, but screamed in a very cheesy way. Whilst grimacing!).
     
     
     
    Jack Nicholson gave his best performance as the Joker. Words cant do that performance justice, so go see it again.
     
     
     
     
    What Burton did was, he told the Joker story as the guy who is a random nut who dresses up like a clown & goes around killing people.
     
    According to the movie when Bruce was young, Joker killed his parents while mugging them outside a restraint.
     
     
    Another school of thought on this matter is that Joker was originally a goon that went by the Handle "The Red Hood".

    Whilst trying to rob Ace Chemicals, Red Hood escapes Batman in a van full of chemicals where he encounters an accident which changes the color of his skin, hair and leads to (further) eccentric behavior.
     
    This theory though has been debunked in the recent issue of
    BATMAN CONFIDENTIAL - Issue #7
     
    where they have introduced a new story Arc.
     
    Another theory is that, Joker -(interestingly, he is the only character - as far as my knowledge - that has never been given a name)- does comedy at local clubs.(If I remember correctly, his act was known as "THE KILLING JOKE") (<-Also the name of the issue where the Joker character was introduced in the comics. I wanna say it was BATMAN #1, but im not really sure ! :s).
     
    He has a wife & a kid and has trouble at home. He gets involved with the wrong people and has to do a JOB in order to repay his debts.
     
    This is ofcourse where Batman comes in and mucks everything up. Resulting in the killing of Joker's family (His son was already dead, but his wife was murdered brutally infront of him)
    & the scarring on his face.
     
    It is unclear whether the ppl who hired him inflicted the scars, or if Joker could not bear the trauma he suffered & mutilated himself.
     
    I don?t remember the series/issue where this happened, so take it for what its worth.
     
     
    How will Nolan introduce Joker?
     
    We will just have to see, but if the pics i posted  a while back are any indication, I think he will go with something different.
     
    The deep scarring around the lips & enforced stitches would suggest something sinister & probably means a horrible accident or sinister behavior that leads to his psychopathic behavior.
     
    Alas, all im doing is speculating.......Cause im a BM Nutt, cause its fun & because - Frankly I cant wait till summer of 08!.
     
     
     

     
    On to topics a tad more serious and interesting. (not everyone who reads this as into BM as me-----as I was reminded by the last BM/Joker post that I did!).
     
     
    William Saletan wrote this great piece for Slate/WSJ called "BRAVE OLD WORLD" (audio), about "parthenogenesis". (Wiki).
     
    In layman's terms, its fertilization of an embryo or seed without the help of a Male(!).
     
    Parthenogenesis has been going on in nature since ages but due to the nature of chromosomes, it was never known to have occurred in mammals.
     
    Recently though, female sharks have reproduced whilst secluded in tanks. aka Virgin Births.
     
    What does this mean?
     
    Theoretically it can lead to opposite sexes being redundant in child procreation...in simpler terms, couples of the same sex can make a baby that has the same DNA & bio code as the "couple".
     
    Another result of research could be figuring out ways to control "imprinting" amongst mammals. What this would mean is that mammals & -im guessing, - more importantly the ones facing detention, would be made to reproduce naturally....instead of getting cloned.
     
     
    Its a fascinating read and the results 'could' change the way conventional wisdom works.
     
     

     
     
     
     
    Slate also ran a piece called "Beware of the Diet" (audio) on the long term effects of dieting on the human body.(is the weight loss sustainable & the effect on the metabolic behavior of the stomach).
     

     
     
     
    MetroBlogging Lahore (LMB) has a post on the newly approved  Rapid Mass Transit (LRMT) Rail.
     
    20060314_02.jpg
     
    The foundations are to be laid in September of 07 & the above pictured Green Line, should be the first to get ready by 2011.
     
    I sincerely hope that this project actually does get completed. As reported, they already have mapped the locations and plan to use both underground and elevated methods.
     
    I guess if they can execute a MRT in an ancient city like Delhi, Lahore should not be impossible.
     
    Hopefully this project does come to fruition and doesn't end up being a money-grabbing exercise!.
     

     
     
    KMB have a great post on the names of the crossings in Karachi & the (alleged) history behind them. Check it out here. The funny/sad part is, so many of the places can be called "Qabsa" (Encroachment) Colonies!.

    GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALEE!

     
     
    Ae-MAZE-Zing!!
     
    Messi. Arg vs Mex. Copa America sf:
     
      
     
    I've already seen it around 20 times, still hard to swallow.
     
    This boy is pure class. I think this is the 4th 'Wunder-Goal' he's scored in the past 12 months.
     

    ...& Justice for all

     
    NOV 1st EDIT: (Its been a long time since I posted this & due to inactivity on some tracks, they have expired and have been deleted. If you still want one of these tracks, Hola at me & ill upload it/them again).
     
    Jan 24th EDIT: (added ALOT more mixes & tunes that I've managed to get my hands on. You'll find them towards the bottom half. As usual if any of the tracks do not work, don't hesitate to shoot me a message. Happy D.I.S.C.O-ING!Hot)
     
    (Folks new to the blog or fans of good music Should feel free and check it out for other great music postings! Smile)
     
    Feb 29th EDIT: (added 3 more tracks. You'll find them towards the bottom with the rest of em. Enjoy!)
     

     
    Nah. I haven't gone all Nostalgic again. (Although "One' is still one (!) of Metallica's finest songs).
     
    Im refering to the newest sensation around the globe.
    Im talking about the French duo of Gaspard Augé & Xavier de Rosnay.(MySpace)
     
    They have been around for a while, remixing everyone from Britney to FatBoySlim to Daft Punk themselves, but they really hit the big's in 03 with their reworking of Simian's "We Are Your Friends" (Not one of my frav songs, but the vid was pretty kool. You should find a link a bit further down).
     
    The boys started out in bad cover bands of Metallica & Nirvana.
     
    They succeed due to their unpredictable style. The samples are scratched,chopped & distorted to such an extent that it sounds like a mistake. But most of the 'genius' so far have been mistakes.
     
    I however, not for a min, am convinced that these boys will revolutionize the genre. Sure they are unconventional & break away from norms, but their basic style is not unique. Ricardo Villalobos and Ellen Allien are just two examples you can look at. (Although Ricardo is more Elctro-Grunge/House with some deep trance, while the Frenchmen have more of a 80's punk & a light/vocal feel to it).
     
     
     
    Justice has a new album out "" (Cross) & I've been listening to it for around 10 days. (If you've met me recently, you've probably gotten sick of D.A.N.C.E. already! :P)
     
    Its made up of 11 tracks:
     
    • Genesis  (powerful, but failed to hold my attention for very long...feels repetitive soon),
    • Let There Be Light (Here is where they shine. Great beats/distorts),
    • D.A.N.C.E (Luuuuuuv it. Added a vid below. Check it!), (MSTRKRFT Remix)
    • NewJack (A bit change of tune, & quite a let-down honestly. You feel like skipping it as soon as it starts),
    • Phantom pt1 (Pretty cool. Grungy Electro, but always feels like a build up. Luckily its followed by....),
    • Phantom pt2 (Awesome. This reminded me of DP the most. Lots of things going on here, Synths, Chopping, Mashes.),_(Zshare)_
    • Valentine (O.K....again repetitive....seems like they ran outta ideas! :s),
    • The Party (has sample's by Uffie!) ("Lets get drunk & Freakie Fly". Awesome!),
    • DVNO (Club classic right here. Lots of potential to get re-worked & im sure it will),
    • Stress (Name says it all really. Hyper from start to finish. Can be a score for a horror flick & great for Drug related adverts! Tongue out),
    • Waters Of Nazerath (What got them famous. If you think its too loud, You're too old! - & no! Age is not, but a number! Tongue out),_(Zshare)_
    • One Minute To Midnight (Another one that's kinda let down. Tries to be something it isn't).
     
     
     Cheeky, classy & already a sensation, despite the poor sequencing of the tracks, will already be in peoples "Best of 07" lists, but at the end it feels like a sensation-for the sake of-sensation.
     
    They are an evolution to the DP sound, but unlike Homework or Discovery, I doubt will invoke the same feelings 5-10 years on. The tracks lack bass & even though they might seem radicals, you will notice a similar pattern in most of their tracks.
     
    Having said that though, its only their first album & im sure they will grow. Already they are brilliant @ Mashing & they work great with the artists in the Ed Bangers Records (My Space)Stable.(BusyP,Mehdi,Flash,Uffie,Justice,Feadz) If you can get a chance, watch em live. Im sure they rock the houZe!.

    Ole

    Here it is, United's Home-Kit for the 07-08 season.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    It reminds me of the 2002-03 kit (the first year with Nike I think).
    All Red, hopfully it has better material than the previous one.
     
    I liked the retro looking logo on the last years shirt, they had it due to the deal with AIG(shirt was re-designed for 1 year). This edition will(should) last the normal 2 years for the home kit.
     
    The Green for the gk's was effing awsome imo & pretty popular. The new blue is like the away kit, should be an intresting clash away from OT.
     
    Check out more @ ManUtd.com Or the Spanking New ManU MySpace page(o_O!).Looks really sweet though. Add em as a friend & u might get a signed shirt!!.(Funniest thing is the "Status" is showed as "SINGLE"!! :P).
     
    The 3 signings so far have been unviled. I dunno about the 2 boys from Portugal, but Hargreves is the one with the big ? on his head.
     
    a) He's broken his leg twice in a year.
     
    b) 17 Mill-------Barca got Henry for 16.5----so, is Owen H really worth the money?
     
    c) Do we really need him?! (+ him = 5 midfielders!, how will he be accomadated??) 
    Wouldnt that money have been better used for a quality striker??
     
    d) He played in the Bundesliga a very diff league than EPL. Will he be able to make the transition?
     
     
    It will be atleast 6-8 months before any of the Q's are answered.
     
    + another new arival would be Tevez.
     
    Thats a saga of Epic propotions & I dont even know where to begin!.
     
    What I did think was "huh?!".
     
    Sure he's a quality player, but how will he fit into the United system? He plays so much like Rooney. (Forward, but in a deep hole behind the winger/strikers).
     
    I thought we would have been better off with a out & out striker (preadator) like RVN.
     
    Dissappointing that we did not go for David Villa of Valencia.
     
     
     
     
     
    No one has been sold so far. (3 reserves let go though).
     
     
     
    There have been rumours about Hienze for months. Gabi was player of the season in his first, but last year he was injuired for most & Evra was solid as the LB. SAF should keep him IMO, he is still a good player & rotation would be good in what is a lonnnng season.But if he sold, Gl & thnx for the memories ;).
    I read an 'Interview' by him recently in some Portugese magazine saying he will sit down with SAF to discuss his future after the Copa America. Hopefully he doesnt turn out to be a Japp Stam!.
     
     
    Alan Smith is another player that I think will go. You cant question his commitment, but like K Richidson, he does not have enough quality to wear a Utd shirt. Everyone from Toons to Citeh (he has a better chance of getting struck by lightning than play for ManC though!)....would que up for him.
     
    Saha too will go imo - if he gets a good enough offer for him. Do it I say, provided another quality striker is signed.
     
    Oh btw, off load that rubbish Richdson as well!.
     
     
     
    Parma have made a bid for Rossi. He was out there on loan if you remember.
    Dont think it will be accepted, having said that, I doubt he will be around for a very long time.
    He hasnt got a lot of opp's (he dint get any playing time when on loan @ Newcastle + the lil chances he has got) but still does have 3 goals for UTD first team 50+ for the reserves.
    Best thing would be to give him some opp's as a sub & in fringe/easy games. Better yet!, farm him out to Keano @ Sunderland or to Brucey @ Brirmingham.
     
     
    Hopefully Sun-ji remains fit enough to play regularly. He's been a vital cog & is a great sub to have for someone like Giggsy of Christiano. + he has been brilliant the few times that he has played.
     
     
    Oh btw, anyone seen the new Chelsea shirt!?!?. WTF is up with THAT?. It looks like a Hazzard sign + wouldnt it clash with the referee shirts (ones for the incliment weather) + the linesmen flags??.
     
    Amazing thing is they have signed 3 player for 1 Pound!. (free transfers + Alex had been farmed out) & Malouda from Lyon @ an undisclosed fee.
     

    I Want an iPhone

     
     
     Yes you read it correct, but No.
     
    Not the El Jobso crap though.
     
    I want this:
     
    dt_handknit_iphone.jpg
     
    Check out dadytypes for an awsome step-by-step guide of making your own Pop-Tart, admitingly, I dint understand any of it. Maybe you are better versed with n33d13-sp33k!.
     
    Oh & did I mention that his mom = ub3r k00l?!.
     
    Well, She is! ^ , ^.
     
    The guy also links to another awsome creation.
     
    BitterSweet's Instructions of creating Pop-Tarts.
     
    The sprikle-buttons are great!......simple yet fancy! (<-o_O!).
     
    The instructions are simpler - yes the project is less fancy than the iPhone, but still. - Now if only I knew what a 'K row' was! v_v .
     
    I'd get this made if I still had an iPod. But since im still waiting for the new Mac OS based ones hitting Nov, so maybe i still will.

    Btw, nearly got a Sony NW-808 over the weekend. 8gb (808...dhh!) + the awsome Purple col, but I could not bring my self to plunk down $300. Oh well, Nov isnt that far!.
