MINDistortion presents: bubbles
Waay too addictive…don’t play this unless you want some serious time warp effects to take place as you struggle to make your bubble as big as you can whilst grooving to some very funky music (a Daft Punk loop if I’m not mistaken)

We are all familiar with Peter Jackson’s classic interpretation of LOTR, but did what of this little known Warner Bros 1956 adaptation. Not surprisingly it was never actually released but thanks to The Tolkein Sarcasm Pages there is now an 18 meg quicktime download. Right click and save this link

I am mong and this is my song by Rob Manuel & Jonti ‘Weebl’ Picking
The faces behind the Flash in Flash format. These two people are Rob Manuel, mastermind behind B3ta all round bestest Interweb site ever ever ever, and Jonti Picking the man behind Magical Trevor, Weebl and Bob, and various other silly things.
Sadly they are as silly in real life as their cartoons.

The Reg is reporting that the British Government isn’t amused with a parody of it’s terrorism emergency plans. The Cabinet Office is reported to have told the author to take it down and not to trivialise the site. Enjoy whilst it’s still there.

Westerners targeted in Bangkok club/drug raids
Bangkok nightlife took another hit last week when authorities, raided several prominent clubs and tested customers’ urine for drug use, according to reports in this week’s local Thai media.
Will Hatyai be next? Rumours of the Brass Monkey being due a raid reached my ears a couple of weeks ago.

Knight Rider car goes to auction
Not sure if it’s just me or does UKP32k seem fairly cheap for a car with as much potential kudos as KITT from Knight Rider. Surely this is every 80’s child’s dream and for less than the cost of a decent Merc…I know which one I’d pick. I wonder if it comes with Turbo Boost…
However if you can’t afford KITT why not just decorate your car with plastic fastfood toys like the car that this blogger spotted.

Third Star Wars film gets title
Star Wars Episode 3 will be called ‘Revenge of the Sith’ and will document Anakin’s fall to the Darkside (this possibly having nothing to do with Sadao Road, Songkhla.) Let’s hope it’s better than the first two of the new trilogy. Despite my previous disappointed I am still as excited as a nine year old. Well, it’s still Star Wars innit?

Thai Music, Thai Lyrics and Thai Songs - Learn Thai through music
Great idea, found via the excellent Learning Thai site. I think it might appeal to my students more as a tool for learning English, as sorry, but Thai pop just doesn’t do it for me, though I was interested to discover some of my fave Thai hiphop artist Dajim’s lyrics on there which I might go an annoy/amuse my wife with upstairs now.
