XFM Online radio

I was into internet radios about year ago when I found out that I don’t need do have gazillions of gigabytes of music on my computer because there’s a lot of music online on sites like Last.fm or SkreemR. Than I got iPod and I started to download everything. Mostly discographys :D It’s quite cool to have like 20gB but you can’t really pick the music you like randomly… Even if I just open iTunes you have to be present and pick songs I like.

And than few days ago I found something what somehow changed my mind :) Xfm online radio!
xfm internet radio
I don’t want to be sleezy but, I haven’t found any other internet radio which will roll my favorite music constantly! :)
In a few minutes I heard few of my favorites songs from Foo Fighters, Zutons, Weezer, Kaiser Chiefs, U2 and more :P And I found some great other bands as well :P Best of all is the DJ. Mostly he’s quiet but when he say something it’s funny and cool :D Recomended ;)

Than I checked wikipedia and elsewhere on web what others say about them :) I found that XFM has been going since 1997 serving alternative rock/indie to London, UK. Its cool because they also offer various music news, podcasts, gig tickets and of course the online radio itself. :)
And if you would like something more… personal, i suggest you Mi-Xif which is Xfm’s internet service (online radio player) which allows you to create your own personalised Xfm.

As I said I’m totally enthusiastic about this, because it brings some kind of freshness and tidiness in world of internet radios :) Internet radios 2.0, baby!

I just found my good old box with tons of LEGO bricks inside :) It was wonderful how all those nice memories came out and I saw all “unfinished projects” which were lying inside the box. In the moment I also remembered all structures I made and those which I wanted to :D I see that Lego almost every month releases new set of Lego’s, but none of them are… “hardcore classic” like those which were available when I was in “Lego years:) They’ve came in also every blockbuster movie edition like Star Wars1, or Indiana Jones, but surprisingly they didn’t loose any “legoness” they had 10 years ago in previous releases.
I like to see what people are making with those bricks. Sometimes it’s…. marvelus :D
I also like to see some unusual things that people people make with LEGO bricks :) Like this one or this:
lego wall lego wall

Or some fan lego movies like this:

Eddie Izzard - Death Star Canteen

1 Which is my favorite lego set ever :P

Mathematical experiment… hoax perhaps

For those which still think that this is kind of “mathe-magical” thing… There’s not such a thing ;)
(i know that this post sounds a bit g33ky but anyway :D )
mathemagic
You might be impressed by that, but as far as i can tell, this is full time hoax. And it doesnt hold trigonometric functions as well. :D Here’s how: (pay attention to ratios between sides)

mathematical hoax mathematical hoax

Summary: Ratios are not the same (3/8 ≠ 2/5), so hypotenuses aren’t parallel, because there’s angle of 1,24 degree.
So, because hypotenuses aren’t parallel, there becomes exactly cm² of space :) Wired, huh? :D

Just about hour ago on WWDC 2008 Steve Jobs from Apple announced and presented Apples latest model of Apple iPhone 2.0 which supports 3G networks (but still doesn’t use front facing camera for video calls) :) I wont even talk about its design and personal thoughts because… :P

Same 3.5″ Display and camera

iPhone 3g 2.0 black and white iPhone 3g 2.0 battery specs

It will be available world wide (almost) from 11th July on :)
More of this and that, here and here :)

P.s.
Gizmo said that it’s noticeably lighter, thiner, more glassy and shiny in white or nigger (black) edition. Camera and screen is absolutely identical to previous, on the other hand it’s almost half a price than previous :) There are still some things missing (as we expected), but ok… this is how Apple does it :D

Sub ultra super portable small mobile

If we’re into computers… These days is all about laptops (notebook computer, notebook, notepad… WHATEVER). Desktop computers are so passe. Cables are worthless. Everything is amalgamating, getting more and more portable, with less and less cables. I’m thinking of switching to something more… portable… wireless… sexy. Something that I’ll be able to pick up, pack in bag, maybe carry to another room, surf the web instead of read newspaper while drinking coffee or … yeah, you get what I mean? :) We’re taking about umpc, subnotebooks, netbooks…(same shit, different asshole)… It doesn’t necessarily means Apple MacBook Air, because there’s lots of more less expensive and more appropriate laptops… Like EEE or Wind :) Those (sub)laptops aren’t powerful as Dell XPS or MacBook Pro, but they cost under 500$ and they’re tiny! :P They’re more like me… but that’s enough… at least for me.

msi wind

Here’s comparaison table for MSi Wind and Asus EEE pc 1000.
msi wind vs asus eee

Got idea from Jan and Gizmodo.
