So, there was no real reason for wanting to do this, I think its because I was really bored and I guess I've been listening to a lot of remixes. Either way here you go, my personal favourites are tracks 1, 4, 5, 9, 10. The others are good too.. but, not as good. Totes worth a download though.. Hope you enjoy the album artwork this week, my very own brother punkin' out to some sick Remixes and Mashups.:
Google + has got all of the best things about Facebook and incorporated it into its own Social Networking site. Facebook, the worlds favourite social networking site isn't however going to give in that easily, it has the worlds hearts and people don't like change. A slight layout change on Facebook and the whole world gets angry, but if you ask me the new features that Google + has added are ones that were much needed. Post Editing for one is something that most people that are already in my "Circles" (which isn't many as of yet) have commented on.
Yes, Post Editing along with the natural filters which the Circles create meaning that I can say what ever I like about something or someone and only the people I want ever get to see it, Google chats "Invisibility" feature, the over all aesthetic qualitys of Google and of course the bond between Android and Google which enables the "instant upload" for those people which have their Google Accounts synced to their Android phones. I don't doubt that it will take a hell of a long time to get off the ground, and that Google+ has a some existing features that it needs to edit. One being that although I can not Google chat to people that I didn't already have as a contact on Google chat, another being the Photo/Picasa integration - I'm not so sure that the whole photoing layout is quite as neat as facebooks, which is a massive issue as Facebook's photo sharing is one of its best features.
All in all, I do like Google + a lot. I look forward to a time in the future where I can +1 an article I've read and then people in my circles can see it, I look forward to there being no one under the age of 18, so I don't have to put up with the dribble from the lower years in Blue Coat that seem to consist of about 25% of my Facebook friends. What I'm hoping is that Google + becomes a place where all the best people from facebook come..but people in general don't like change and I feel that it will take some time.
Google + has much potential but it still needs to iron out some issues hopefully by the end of the "Trial Period." But has Google + come too late?
Most likely. Facebook is a the king of Social Networking, it is Billions of users ahead of the trail users on Google + and that's not quite it: Facebook will be quick off the mark to pick up on the main Google + selling features, what with it already working on a Video chat integration with Skype to follow up on Google +'s own video chat and "Hangout" feature. Facebook will, as Google itself does with Bing, keep copying and updating.
Either way, I still have high hopes for Google... maybe its because I just can't be bothered with deleting people I don't want on Facebook, either way, it has potential - and much more that Googles previously "failed" setups such as Wave and Buzz.
Wild Geese
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting–
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
Mary Oliver
This is one of my favourite poems out of my favourite anthology. I think everyone else should love it too, so I posted it here.
Firstly, I'd like to thank you my dear readers as June brought me my blogs highest monthly views since it really started this timeish last year and with only 4 posts in June too, thanks.
I'm afraid this post has no specific aims, It's just I recognise I haven't posted since the 20th of last month.. so:
I ended my "Whit Weekend" post with a little bit of talk on how dearest mummy and daddy headed south west, which gave me Casa Trewinnard all to myself... or at least for a short while. One might think that they must have been crazy, considering the amount of mishap that I've gotten into previously in such situations but I'd like to think, since '09's "Night of Terror" that I have matured and become a responsible young adult. Which, although it being potentially the best thing for my own relationship with @philtrew and @angelatrew felt a little boring, don't get me wrong, the entire week and a half I was home alone I was rarely actually alone and found myself (with the acceptance of one or two nights) constantly in the company of others, weather it be at home with my friends or staying out at a friends, but still, I didn't quite party like one may have done back then, or even, a year ago.
The week was over all good, consisting of much Uno game play, Cludo winning and pizza eating (although, if one has read my tweets, you'll be aware of the disgusting pizza incident of the 23rd in which myself and Joanne Sedz realised that we had fallen victim to some unclean prawns http://yfrog.com/gztz1ygj.) After a long week of going to bed late, getting up late and making the most out of being able to be loud I decided that it was about time to go visit my parents in Devon, who had since been joined by @will_trew. I was only with them for two full days, but it consisted of everything our family holidays are made of, watching films at night, going to a castle and have one day of "cool stuff for the kids" in which Me and Will went here (sadly, @Tom_el_rumi couldn't join us...): http://www.adrenalinquarry.co.uk/ (as featured on Channel 5's Gadget show...)
(it goes way faster than it looks... it was awesome.)
Also, made the most of having a bath whilst there.. I don't think I've had an actual bath for years so it did feel mint being able to have a bath. Bath Bath Bath. (in the cottage.. not at the adrenalin quarry place..)
Yeah, so, even though the travelling was a little harsh on my self esteem, after a crazy lady with pink hair on the outgoing train journey to Devon went ape at me for tapping my pen - and then stole the pen to stop me from continuing to tap AFTER I'd told her I was sorry and would stop.. even though this happened, I found the journey quite enjoyable.
I came home separately from my family because they couldn't fit me in the car. Typical. But it did mean that I was able to make the most of Mary Brock's childhood 18th in which I (among many of my pals) was requied to do a forfeit of doing 10 star jumps during pass the parcel and eat some tediously strong but all the same aesthetically pleasing vodka jelly.
No, it was not till the following day whence came the wrath of @angelatrew on the state of the (what I would call reasonably tidy) house. Either way, it has since blown over, and I think that she's more glad she didn't return to a list of stolen things and a lying daughter which the past had already sold her once. So, some dead flowers were overall a definite one up on previous years.
Death Cab opened with New Year and ended (if my memory serves me well) with Transattlanticism, every song they played were perfect, even the stuff of the new album which I haven't become quite familiar with yet. Either way, expect songs from both bands on one of the two mixcasts this month.
God Bless, love forever, L x
