Deviant Art, Skype, and Stepmania...

Hey all,

Well the flickr thing didn't really last as I've missplaced my digital camera and can't really be bothered to look for it. Instead I went and signed up for a deviantART account and did a little bit of arting, my stuff can be found at http://kaokun.deviantart.com/, check it out, leave comments, whatever. :) My only annoyance with it is that for something similar to my flickr sidebar I'd have to subscribe to deviantART which I'm not really prepared to do.

Gah I've been signing up to random crap left right and centre lately... Next up is Skype, which I signed up for a while ago but with the recent Google Talk news. Anyway Skype is now open on my computer and should remain so for a while, if you wanna give me a call my screen name is kaokun so go ahead and add me. :)

And yeah, Stepmania, what a brilliant game. Been playing on Light instead of Beginner lately and I can do most levels that are marked 3 or 4 feet now (go ahead and laugh -_-;), and I'm also happy because that also means I can do 桜 by RevenG on it's Beginner 3 feet difficulty and I love that song.

Leave comments as always :) It's good to have slackwise.net back up and working again, hopefully it'll stay working for a while!

Flickr Mad... Again

So around this time (ok maybe more September/October) last year I went mad taking photos with my eBay bought digital camera and posting them on the marvelous site that is Flickr. And I think I'm gonna do it again :)

Flickr is such an awesome site (even though they've now been bought by Yahoo) and they add more features all the time. Case in point my new Flickr Badge in the side menu, sweet huh? It shows random photos from my flickr account every time it's refreshed so my blog will finally have something different every time, even when I'm too lazy to write anything!

Unfortunately that last pic (the one of my shoes) was taken with my web cam so it's sucky quality... Methinks I'll have to go through my crap that's still in the shed and find my real digital camera (the one I used in America was my mum's cos it's better.) Oh that reminds me though, I finally have some photos of the shed to upload so that people won't go "huh?" when I mention the shed and sleeping in there etc. :P So expect them on my Flickr soon.

Anyway that's enough randomness from me, keep leaving comments. Oh and shout out to my brother John who turned 18 yesterday!! Wooo congratulations dude :) Later everyone~

Megatokyo Perverts and Google Video Randomness

Well I said I'd post with random stuff and it's been a while (Carmen's already been bugging me to post again - consider that a shout out ^^) so here goes.

First off - Megatokyo Strip 749 - Is it just me or would this be funnier if you ignore the bottom-right-most bit of a text? Jokes about dirt always seem less funny than jokes about being perverted... But I guess Megatokyo has a fairly young readership so whatever. :P

Secondly - Google Video - If I haven't already shown you this go check it out, the Google Video player is a small download and works in both Internet Explorer and Firefox and I highly recommend wandering around Google Video if you have some free time ^^ But this is old news, why mention it now? Well because yesterday Google released their new Random Video page, to make browsing randomly through Google Video just that little bit more random. Or if you're not into random browsing here's a couple of my favourite Google Video searches:

Awesomeness ^^ Oh random mind-thought-hops (google video -> random browsing -> flickr -> my flickr account), I have put some photos from my America Trip up on my flickr account so check them out. I had such a great time there, I miss everyone so much!

Anyway I'll blog again soon perhaps if something comes to mind, till then leave comments and have fun with Google Video ^^ Byeee~
