'It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake.....'

It is Kieran's 3rd birthday on Saturday, so foolishly I decided (as in ME - Mr I Can't Cook) would make him a cake.....

Ladies and Gentlemen... may I present..... The Cake!!!

Ok, I admit, I did have 'a little' help from Michelle, but not much!!!!!!!

Shame on you Mr Timbaland

Ok, this may be old news to some, but you may have heard of R&B and Hip Hop producer Timbaland. Well, apparently he has been ripping off some classic C64 tunes and featuring them in his music, taking ALL credit without even giving the original arranger/composer any mention. Since most kids who listen to his music were not even born when the Commodore 64 was out, none of them know this and believe Timbaland is some super cool and original producer.........

This is no joke! Don't believe me? Check this out <----- CLICK HERE

This reminds me of Kernkraft 400's Zombie Nation which was a blatant rip off from David Whitakers 'Lazy Jones' on the Commodore 64.

It also goes to show that even now, the 8-bit sounds of a 3 channel Commodore 64 (and the thousands of incredibly talented composers) are still popular as ever before.

AND, while I am on the subject of Timbaland, whats the deal with R&B (Rubbish & Bollocks), and Hip Hop????? I mean, I'd rather listen to a room of screaming babies then put up with the likes of Rihanna, Nelly Furtado, The Pussycat Dolls, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!

Right I'm off to listen to some real music - A real C64 Remix done properly, with full credit to the original composer - Matt Grey - and it's remake - Instant Remedy.

The Geek Equation

Pinched from Dan.....

Ok... ok.... I'm a geek, but I didn't think I was THAT much of a geek.


NerdTests.com says I'm an Uber-Dorky Nerd God.  What are you?  Click here!

Still, I'm proud of my geekness!

To Boldy Go....

At long last.... It's here.....

The long awaited teaser trailer for the new Star Trek movie has finally made it onto Youtube. The film of course has a Christmas Day 2008 release date, but you will also be able to see the trailer if you go and see Cloverfield in the cinema.

I'm not ashamed to admit it, but boy, did I get goose-bumps just watching it, and listening to Leonard Nimoy utter those immortal words "Space, The Final Frontier"...

Star Trek is back, and it's going to be BIG!!
