Clearly we should go back to the olden days….

Good night 🙂

Transferring data from one phone to another can be a pain but using I-Funbox just made it so simple. Save games, certain config etc. all came across and it was as if nothing had changed. check it out.

note – just use the classic part of it…

Lots of tweets and internet chat about the storm below.

Florida took a bit of a battering and there was reports of a Tornado touching down. Looks like this funnel may well have developed as it crossed Tampa.

Another great video which I didn’t get around to posting the other day. Due to a technical glitch (*ahem*), this is being posted today instead of yesterday.

Anyone that knows me will understand how influential Richard Branson is to me.

He recently posted a video, on how Mike Oldfield became the first artist on the Virgin label and whether, without Tubular Bells, would Virgin Galactic be taking people up into space this year?

It’s a really interesting video and the equally great man John Peel, is also mentioned.

I was meant to moan about this yesterday but i was too tired to even write anything. Ended up posting a picture instead and had an early night.

Thomas Newman has been nominated 12 times for an Oscar and has yet to win anything, despite making some of the most important film music. What is wrong with your ears?
Some of these films would never have been as well received, without his trademark sounds. Shawshank Redemption without the “Brooks was here” piece for example. That scene would have not been so memorable without his music.

It still shocks me to see another nomination without a win! sort it out Hollywood!
