"So over the weekend I installed a nice shiney RTM build and the sounds have been upgraded from the ones in XP to the new creations by Robert Fripp. I'd thought I would share some of these with you and I've compiled them in this mp3 which you can download and listen to below.

The sounds I cover are the following:

Critical Stop
ReadyBoost drive inserted
Windows UAC control prompt
New e-mail notification
Low Battery Alarm
Exclamation
Windows Start
Exit Windows"

Check them out HERE

You are in for a real treat. ;)

Scary Guy at Best Buy

Tue, 22 Nov 2005 17:29:34 GMT

I saw this pic on Vals Space in here photo albums showing pics of the recent sales frenzy over the XBOX 360 at Best Buy. One pic caught my eye though and I find it a little bit eerie. Check out the guy behind Bill Gates. Thanks to Chris for the possible thought.

I wonder if its Beer28 from Channel9.

Grammy award winner Luther Vandross, whose deep, lush voice on such hits as “Here and Now” and “Any Love” sold more than 25 million albums while providing the romantic backdrop for millions of couples worldwide, died Friday. He was 54.

I am sad. May his soul rest in peace.

Hollow Man – What If

Tue, 07 Dec 2004 18:01:54 GMT

I have watched this movie a few times, and have said so many times, what if I could become invisible. I wouldn’t go around raping women or kill off all my friends, but I sure would go on a few expeditions. The movie stars Kevin Bacon (Mr. 360 degrees himself) and Elizabeth Shue (what has happened to her?) It’s really a good movie that really makes you wonder. I have learnt and interesting fact though, if you were invisible, you would not be able to sleep and stand exposure to light because your eye lids would be invisible. So, being invisible is not a bed of roses.

Alexander

Sat, 04 Dec 2004 20:31:02 GMT

Its safe to say that this movie is one in a series of antique historical pieces that has been updated time and again by many directors in Hollywood. Examples include Gladiator, Master & Commander. But this 3 hour epic has been said to be too long and not touching some of the controversial topics fully enough about Alexander that are well known, such as Alexander’s bi-sexuality. But this movie is only look into one aspect of this legendary conquer and ruler of many nations. A majority of the movie is blood and war, which is bit to much. Leonardo Di Caprio is up next to give us his take on Alexander, we all should know its going to be a little more on the softer side, if you know what I mean.

Emancipation of Mimi – Mariah’s little secret

Sat, 04 Dec 2004 18:34:53 GMT

Well, big music star Mariah Carey is planning to make a come back with her next album cutely titled Emancipation of Mimi, scheduled for release in March 2005. The singer tells fans on her website, that the name was released without her permission or knowing so she decided to talk about with her fans. The artiste also emphasizes that the name Mimi is a special name that’s only used by her closest friends.

Well, its not about the revealing name for me, I just hope she comes back with some of the originality she left at Columbia. So far Glitter and Charm Bracelet have not sparked any original trademark Mariah with me. I hope she also eases down on the Rap guess stars that have plagued her last four albums, leave them for the remixes and singles.
