Here is the ado­ra­ble and beau­ti­ful Kate Bec­kin­sale (Van Hel­sing, Under­world, The Avia­tor) in an exce­llent high reso­lu­tion image. Please note, due to a flurry of atten­tion I have chan­ged the loca­tion of this image, you can still access it by clic­king on the thumb­nail above

And here is my setup while not at uni:

I am sorry I can­not remem­ber what theme I used, I think it was “Hawk Eye” or something simi­lar, but I made this a long time ago so please stop asking. Thank you.

Last​.FM — Another customised radio station

Music

This is a sta­tion based on my Audiosc­rob­bler pro­file, i.e. the site that logs what I lis­ten to, it plays songs from other people’s pro­fi­les that are simi­lar to mine. Not quite the library of LAUNCH­cast but impro­ved bitrate, no anno­ying adverts and Audiosc­rob­bler inte­gra­tion make this extre­mely good. Not quite as advan­ced as LAUNCH but it has a lot more user friendly fea­tu­res and is more com­mu­nity orien­ta­ted; groups, friends, musi­cal neigh­bors, RDF feeds, favou­rite albums, artists and songs, ava­tars and advan­ced fea­tu­res at a frac­tion of the cost.

My cat lot­tie and some spring flowers

This is really just me tes­ting out my new Flickr account and its inte­rac­tion with blog­ger. This is my cat in my gar­den during the unna­tu­rally hot March heat wave.

Oh hey, hulk.

The Decemberists — Picaresque

Mar 25 2005
Thumbnail
 Title: Pica­res­que
Artist: The Decem­be­rists
Style: “Pica­res­que cap­tu­res the band in peak form, pac­king in exo­tic ins­tru­men­ta­tion that crea­tes a lush and evo­ca­tive back­drop to Colin Meloy’s story-songs, which here are more color­ful– and more topi­cal– than ever”
Review: Pitch­fork
My Rating: 8/10, par­ti­cu­larly The Bagman’s Gam­bit and The Mariner’s Revenge Song
