Omegle

Hello there. Today I'm going to tell you about something that you might already be familiar with. Then again, you might not.

It's called Omegle, and it's really neat. It's basically a chatroom where you can't control who you talk to. It usually has a lot of people on it at the same time. The system randomly connects you to another person that is available to chat. The connection is instantanious, and you can easily disconnect at any time and start a new chat.  

(Apparently they now also have a video-chat option. I'm scared to click it.)

Now you must remember, this is the internet. Of course it has pervs, and stupid people, and 40-year old Turkish men that want to see your webcam. But it also has really nice, fun and interesting people that are just bored and want to talk to someone new.
Since I am Icelandic, a lot of people tend to focus a lot on that when I talk to them. Be warned: this can get extremely annoying if the person is not in the mood to talk about his/her country. Try to make the conversation interesting for the other person as well.

I've had many decent conversations on Omegle, and a few really epic ones. And so can you. Happy networking!

Dare: "Learn this monologue by heart"

Today I received a dare, our very own 42% V said that it would be so funny if I'd memorize, by heart, Steven Fry's monologue on his loveliness from the pilot of a Bit of Fry and Laurie (aired 26th of december, 1987).
Rather then watching the pilot and writing down the sketch myself I decided to do some googlin' first, and as always when I look for something on the internet; I found what I was looking for.

This is the monologue, along with ALL his other monologues. I found this page through Colin's Movie Monologue Page. He has a search feature so if you are looking for a monologue this is a good place to start your search.
Also found this particular monologue at IMDB: Memorable quotes for A Bit of Fry and Laurie (pilot 1987) and then I found this one... I have no idea what this one is about, but it has the monologue and many other quotes. Works for me!

"I think it was Donald Mainstock, the great amateur squash player, who pointed out how lovely I was. Until that time, I think it was safe to say that I'd never really been aware of my own timeless brand of loveliness. But his words smote me, because, of course, you see, I am lovely, in a fluffy, moist kind of a way. I walk, let's be splendid about this, in a lightly-scented cloud of gorgeousness that isn't a far shot from being quite simply terrific. The secret to smooth, almost shiny loveliness, of the order which we are discussing in this simple, frank, creamy-soft way doesn't reside in oils, unduants, balms, ointments, astringments, creams, milks, moisturizers, linaments, lubricants, embracants or bolsoms, to be simply divine for just one noble moment; it resides, and I mean this in a pink, slightly special way, in one's attitude of mind. To be gorgeous and high and true and fine and fluffy and moist and sticky and lovely, all you have to do is to believe that one is gorgeous and high and true and fine and fluffy and moist and sticky and lovely. And I believe it of myself, tremulously at first and then with mounting heat and passion because, stopping off for a second to be super again, I'm so often told it. That's the secret really." - Stephen Fry, a Bit of Fry and Laurie(1987)

Let's say for whatever reason you're the first human ever to make alien contact...

"yes, i know, pretty unlikely. probably isn't going to be you. that's a given. but it would be a good idea for us to spare a few minutes and think about it. why? well, for one: MOST HISTORIANS AND SCIENTISTS AGREE THIS WOULD BE THE MOST IMPORTANT MOMENT ON ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY!" -author

This is the title of an enormous poster, telling you how to react and what to do if you are that person. I don't know who wrote this, and since it is ENORMOUS I can't be bothered to resize the whole frikkin' blog to make it fit. Just click the image below to open it full-size. (no, seriously, the poster is 856x2193 while this blog is only 500x≈3000!)

Read it, it's really clever and well thought-out. Maybe I'll read-and-blog later, giving you my thoughts and opinions on this masterpiece, but due to not-so-fun-to-have migraine I think this will do for now.

Wow, two blogs on one day! Only two more and we are back to our "one-post-per-day"-schedule!

Edit: no, that is no the way this blog works, we are not promising one blog per day! I guess 20+ posts per month would be more accurate ;)

My hero: Gylfi Pálsson

Gylfi Pálsson read the certification warning in a video that was featured on every video tape released in Iceland for many years. I have seen this guy speak that one paragraph a bazillion times!

The rating system here is a bit different from elsewhere, but I'm pretty sure this one compares to R-Restricted rather than NC-17. The only difference is that the age requirement is 16, not 17.



This guy is freakin' epic xD
Thank you Heimsreisarinn for uploading these videos so that they may never be forgotten (or gotten rid of! xD)

Epicness - Monty Star Wars

This is one of the two funniest Monty Star Wars videos on youtube.
If you don't think this is funny than a) you don't speak english or most likely b) you haven't seen Monty Python's Holy Grail xD

Hello interwebz!
We spent at least half of today's physics class discussing this:

Which was perfect since I have been waiting for a long time for a reason to post this xD

The song. Oh god, that song...

edit from 42% B: I have finished updating most of the site. Click around and see what has changed ;)

Do you know the feeling of just not being able to get that song out of your head? So do I. And since I'm apparently evil or something, I'm making a new feature on this site. The song that's currently stuck in my head!

Moar, for the love of god, MOAR!

Hey you guys?

Good. Remember that list of useful/awesome Mac applications? Remember Adium? The MSN-client that's way better than Windows Live Messenger?

Still with me? Ok, if you've used Adium you'll know that the only thing wrong with it is that you can't send or receive custom emoticons.

FIXED.

Uninstall your old Adium and download this! Problem = solved. The only thing I ever missed from Windows is on my Mac now! Hooray! Read the whole article here.

Weekend

What am I doing this weekend? Well, if I have to think of something, this comes to mind...

Edit: It has been (almost completely) confirmed that this weekend is going to be made entirely of  AWESOME and EPIC (with a dash of HOMEWORK on the side)! Friday night and then either Saturday or Sunday will be entirely dedicated to pulling of as many awesome things possible within the day. We are listing all our ideas HERE, and the people I'm doing this with are ALWAYS suggesting new things to do! It is going to be legend... wait for it...

Just to make this post a bit longer than one line, here's an animation I pieced together (click it) and a link!!

Books.

Dear reader. It would at this point probably be fair to make it absolutely clear, if you hadn’t already picked that up, that there is more than one person in charge of this website. There are, in fact, two of us, although my colleague has been responsible for the majority of the other posts. (He gets rather easily excited. I apologize.) I did, however, do the list of useful Mac applications. That was me. And you are welcome. I also did the one on how to make awesome-looking folders on your Mac. But don’t worry. I will be talking about more things, over time, than simply how to customize a Mac.

I’d like to make it absolutely clear that we have rather different interests, my colleague and I. Of course we have many things in common. But many things, sadly, we do not. I am, for example, not a math-head. I am a bookworm. I’ve been a bookworm since I first learned to read, and I rather enjoy it. I do, however, have an astounding list of books that I have yet to read. This has presented itself as something of a problem, since
a) interesting books and comics just keep coming to my local library
b) I live near a shop that stocks exactly the kind of books that interest me just by looking at the title
and
c) I am a student, and as such have my hands quite full with essays, schoolbooks and other drab and dull things.

This list of books is, therefore, only getting longer. And as time passes, I remember books that I own and have already read, but really, really ought to read again sometime soon. And since I apparently have nothing better to do at the moment (like, oh I don’t know, the schoolwork I was complaining to you about) I have decided to share this constantly expanding list with you. Most of these books I own, but have not found the time to read yet. Here we go.

Because this website needs pictures.

I've been drawing for as long as I can remember, and it's already been mentioned on this page that I am an artist. So I guess it's about time to show you my deviantART page, isn't it?

Alright, so this blog needs a few pictures, doesn't it? Alright. I'll show you some of the pictures that I'm proudest of. But only a few! You gotta check my website if you want to see more. I'd like to point out as well that drawing is my number one artistic medium, but I do have different pieces that I'm very proud of, so I think I'll show you a bit of everything. (Well not EVERYTHING, but you know...)



This one's called Look at me, and it's one three photo-manips I did of the same eye. It is also one of my personal favourites. I don't normally do photo-manipulations, but I'm just sooo happy with this. It also got a lot of positive feedback.



Special is a photograph I took through the window of a store in Portobello, England when I went there a couple of years ago. I played with it a little in Photoshop Elements, and this was probably my first sucessful attempt at an almost black-and-white picture (or whatever this genre is called; I can't really be bothered to look it up). This is also an obvious Andy Warhol tribute.



iDucks is a part of a sort of craze that consumed me at one point, where almost everything I did was an iPod ad spoof. You wouldn't guess, but this sort of became my favourite out of the bunch. The others were all specific characters, but this is so simple. I think it sort of captures the spirit of the original.



Alright, so here's a recent one I did. It's called Yes I can, and apparently NO ONE GETS THIS JOKE. So I'm going to explain it. It's friggin' M.C. Hammer, okay? The one that sang U Can't Touch this? And that's me, touching him. Saying "What are you gonna do?" Because I totally can touch him. Because, like, what would he do? M.C. Hammer-slide all over me? (What does that even mean?) GET IT?



I must stress that in no way do I see myself as a photographer, but this picture, In the middle of summer, is somehow very close to my heart. It's my uncle's house, and used to belong to my grandmother on my mothers' side (before she died). My mom grew up in this house, and we've spent a lot of time there ever since I was tiny. Something about the contrast between the green leaves and the yellow house, and how the blue shows through the branches just feels so pure, and somewhere deep inside me it reminds me of childhood.

Wow. Guess that was a bit nostalgic, wasn't it? Alright. Only two to go.



This one's called Princess Júnía, and it's probably my best piece so far. It's a picture of a friend of mine in a sort of Disney-like style, and I feel like this picture really shows how much my drawing ability has evolved over the last few years. I'm very proud of it.



This one, I support AWESOMENESS, really just deserves an honourable mention. It's my most faved deviation of all time, but it took me almost no time to make at all. I just got the idea, and made it happen. Animation is a piece of cake if you know how to google.


Well there you go. That's a sort of summarization of my deviantART page. If you liked this, you might want to it check it out.

It starts with us

Okay, so I guess we haven't had a post in a while. And it's sort of my turn, isn't it?

If you're like me, then you've had very depressed moments when you just feel like the world's basically screwed and there's nothing you can do about it. Well there is. Check out this website.

It starts with us

The mission of this site is to make the world a better place by getting lots of people to do small, good things for others. I really like this concept, and I subscribed to their mailing list. I recommend you do too. (Note that you can unsubscribe at any point.)

A look at procrastination.

I really am most awfully sorry for how lazy I appear to be on this site. 42% B seems to think that this is on account of me being shy or something. This is completely ridiculous to me, since I am not in the least bit shy in publishing things on the internet. It's just that I hardly have any time these days! My to-do list is ridiculously long, and I'm also battling a deep-rooted psycological problem. And you know what? I bet you know it too.

Creativity. Productivity. I am good at those. Executing? Not so much!

I just found out that I am, as it where, potentially awesome. All I need is a partner! My resources are these:

Me: “Anything else?”
Customer: “Can you break a $100 bill?”
Me: “Actually, I can’t. We just opened and I haven’t gone to the bank today.”
Customer: “Oh, no! Do you know anywhere I can get change? I need this candy right away!”
