2:14 am	little speakers... I've put a lot of research into small speakers. A lot of research (logitech, altec, etc). There are two sets of speakers that I've come across that stand out. My criteria for good speakers is not amount of bass, but the overall quality of sound. Bass is very difficult to reproduce (actually, the lower the frequency the easier it is to reproduce, the constraint is purely physical), thus I'm a lot more forgiving toward this aspect, especially in the "small speakers" review. Creative T20 - very small, produce the spectrum beyond the size (very respectable bass for the size). But most importantly produce extremely enjoyable sound. Instruments sound unbelievably natural on these speakers. (I have 3 sets of these, one I bought for Katya, one set up for my laptop, one at work). They're absolutely perfect mini (micro) minotors, or laptop speakers. Scott SPS1 - is a 2.1 portable (battery-powered). The sound quality is phenomenal. Every time I set these up, people are in disbelief how good the set up sounds. The soundstage is unbelievable. They're also extremely loud (and clear). You could host a small party with this set. The sub doesn't go as low as some other 6.5" subs do, but most of the 6.5" subs that try to go low, produce pure low-freq. garbage. This sub barely tries, I've run low freq tests, and the sub simply rolls off at 35-40hz, and doesn't even try to play anything below. What it does do is play bass (not truely a sub-type bass), and it plays it well. The micro-satellites sound beyond the size (and are heavy suckers). Midrange is slightly lacking, but being this picky about speakers THIS SMALL is unreasonable. Volume knob is on the sub only, so the easiest way is to change the volume from the computer, or the mp3 player, etc. You've been warned. I dare anyone to find better sounding speakers for the size. If you do, let me know. If you need little speakers, I highly recommend these. I'd put t20's against logitech thx z-5500 and the likes any day. Scott SPS1's are a little difficult to find. That's about it about small speakers. (Comment on this)

3:16 am	apple news Product#1 journalist: "but this new mp3 player has a single button to control about 15 functions" apple: "Yes, but if we take the metal case out of the question, this player is the lightest on the market!" journalist: "but that's irrelevant to the user" apple: "are you still here?" Product#2 journalist: "this new laptop offers very little over the older model, and looks practically the same, has your design team suffered a head trauma, all of them?" apple: "yes, but the irrelevant uni-body aluminum stamping manufacturing is amazing, look at this machine that stamps the aluminum case, and now look at this manufacturing machine, this one glues the rubber feet to the bottom of the laptop. Isn't this amazing?" journalist: "what was I talking about?" apple: "excellent!" Product#3 journalist: "Isn't it true that this smart phone still doesn't have a basic copy-paste feature implemented?" apple: "Look at this game, which is equivalent to a 15 year old console. Remember those dumb games that were boring then? Well now you can play them anywhere! journalist: "Ok, I see what you did there. Fine, but this product doesn't have a d-pad or any buttons, except for the one that turns it off" apple: "Yeah, but check out the gyro-control which is completely useless but neat nevertheless."

3:00 am	God knows how much I hate Harleys, but let me tell ya... What a marketing scam, that harley can sell 60 year old technology to a bunch of religious morons (without spending a dime on research)... How much of a douche must one be to wear pictures of skulls on you jacket? Like REALLY, are you 12, or something? How much have you achieved in life, when you're sitting in traffic with a 110db exhaust pipe, thinking you're cool? While everyone else is annoyed by the loud exhaust? How can anyone feel cool listening to "highway to hell"? AC/DC is GAY... They're right there with Europe's "Final Countdown" ( "We're heading for Venus! Cause maybe they've seen us" also rhymes with "PENIS" - JUST PLAIN GAY). At the rebellious age of 11, they were hella awesome though, but look at you, you're close to 60, and you have an ugly hag wrapping her cellulite around you... UGGHHH.... How empty is your brain, that you identify yourself by a commercial product? (well hello, we're a "Kleenex" clan, we demand respect, and our club is based on HONOUR, and we wipe our noses with it too) Also, please don't get into dumb motorcycle groups and start wasting gas going nowhere collectively. Just say "No" to dumb stuff. Use your head: 4 motorcycles get worse gas mileage than 1 car, and are a lot more antisocial. Bandanas are gay, and so is talking like you have a clue about what you're saying. DUMB DUMB DUMB... It's right there with riced out civics, but at least those are owned by appropriately dumb young population. Hayabusa are dumb too, but that's another story altogether. p.s. This needs to be reorganized into a movie plot somehow. A comedy, of course. (2 Comments |Comment on this)
2:06 am	Movie Review: The happening. Absolutely terrible. Dialog: simply idiotic. Characters explicitly state everything (example not from the movie: "I sometimes eat bananas" while eating bananas) Emotional: People are NOT afraid of anything, and are simply retarded (even though what happens around them is CATASTROPHIC and quite grotesque) Plot: The plants are trying to kill humans (YES! I know I just gave away the whole movie) Some weird message: YOU ARE DUMB, PLANTS WILL KILL YOU, AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO. It feels like this freak of a director is trying to brainwash me into something, but I don't know what. But throughout the movie, they kept saying that "scientific approach can't explain everything, some things are just too complex". Like as if we shouldn't try to figure them out. OR WHAT? I didn't get it. Maybe this is religious propaganda. Now that I think about it, this is JUST LIKE RELIGIOUS BRAINWASHING. Scaring people with something moronic (like hell, or in this case - fauna), and telling that this follows no laws of physics, chemistry, biology, etc. and that some things are just not for us to understand. The movie is just horrible. Nothing makes sense, vegetables are scary, but somehow love conquires all and we should accept that we're not in control and it's ok for your backyard grass to kill you; BECAUSE GRASS IS GREATER THAN YOU. It is just like religious propaganda, but some people "like" reading the bible for the stories (playboy has "good" articles too), so I guess we can brainwash people into this brainwash of moronicity The movie is spooky, I'll give it that; but it simply is an insult to any rational. It's an insult. The fact that this movie comes out, and makes mucho money is an indication that humanity is doomed to be dumb. And that advertisement works; religions are necessary to keep morons at bay. Rational is beyond human grasp. People are more afraid than curious. The train of thought ends at us wanting to have sex, and therefore babies; there are no higher ideals. Life on earth has no meaning. And everything is dumb. Maybe I extracted too much meaning from this dumb movie, but it offended me on many levels. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

9:47 pm	Superheroes are psychos. So, scenario: A seemingly normal guy, goes to work, talks to people, dates chicks and all that normal people stuff. BUT during the night he fights "crime" and he dresses up as a bat (or some other rodent) while doing so. He also talks like he has asthma after smoking all his life. And the bad guy has a serious make-up issue and is another nutcase. I'm sorry, I can't take this shit seriously (as the director tried to present this in a "realistic" tone); I got up and left.

5:15 pm	The problem is not that gas prices are too high. They're not. The problem that all the profits should be going to "fuel" research into other areas. Not into pockets of asses. Gas prices are not too high.... They're still WAY TOO LOW... Everyone thinks that pushing 20x of their weight with them is normal. Burning off millions of years of accumulated sun energy for a 5 bucks a gallon is just DANDY and all, but it is a FREE RIDE that everyone has got accustomed to. So shut up. And remember that everytime you're going to go shopping, you think it's OK to take 4000lbs of scrap metal with you (just to be SAFE). And then you whine about gas prices. WAKE UP!!!! YOU ARE A WASTEFUL ENERGY WASTER!!! Stop whining about gas prices! Whine about where that money is going instead! (2 Comments |Comment on this)

2:04 pm	... HDMI is a scam. They should have gone with optical fiber and fuck all of that copper transfer shit... God I hate technology, it's so amazing at times, and so retarded and backwards... If only those morons could get their heads out of their asses and ONCE just ONCE in their life just put them together and create something beautiful, instead of propagating these waves of incompatibility, stuck up proprietary formats, yesterdays interconnects... The reason why technology has such slow adaption rate is usually the manufacturers fault. Time and time, apple shows that people will be stuff if you make it simple and straight forward (same iPod and iPhone), but no... NO... they just don't learn... (Comment on this)

1:16 am	Dumb birthday wishes... and general amusment with "humans" One can't wish for money... it's the dumbest thing evuh. Everybody knows where money comes from. It's not a mystery. One doesn't need luck to acquire this "money". One either needs to earn it, or one needs to scam someone else out of it. One can only wish people abstract concepts like : "Happiness", "well-being", etc. Who knows where "these" come from. One can only guess that those things have to be "wished" over by headless chickens in order to become real. If one wishes people "money" they're probably not good in bed, and most likely boring to talk to. Generally, staying away from those people is a good idea. Olga Frayman, I dedicate this post to you. Happy Birthday. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

1:30 pm	I know I know.. Okean Elzy.. I didn't go to the concert of the Ukrainian super star. Katya had to study and wake up early in the morning. And I'm not into lyrical whinings of post-Soviet drama queens (Harsh? I don't think so), so going would surely cause me to get drunk beyond all reason. Plus I heard the Elzy guy was kept in pain by some visible rays (possibly x-rays combined with y-rays with a bit of gamma radiation), and was in constant pain throughout the concert. Frankly I don't think paying 50 bucks to have your favourite musician radiated is exactly a good business model. Sadists. (4 Comments |Comment on this)
