Rap News

Posted in Entertainment

Just got linked to a Rap News video today by a friend. Seems like a creative way to send out a message and provoke thought about certain current events. Take a peek:

From the Creator:

http://thejuicemedia.com Rap News, with Robert Foster. Episode 6 of the Investigative Rap Journalism has dropped: December 2010 and Cablegate has burst open. With a steady trickle of Diplomatic communiques leaking out every single day, the Book of Revelations is expanding dramatically. In all the hubbub, the global community is forced to ask questions of its leaders. Will the world ever be the same again? Join your affable host Robert Foster, as he executes a rhyme inquisition on some of the key players in the Wiki-saga. It’s diplomatic Rhym-aggedon…

WoW Mists of Pandaria Announced!

Posted in Entertainment

So it seems the next expansion in the game of World of Warcraft, Mists of Pandaria has been announced:

The level cap is being increased to 90 and many mechanics of the game are getting a well needed overhaul. The developers are hoping to revitalize the game and make it more dynamic, both of which were things not really present in the latest expansion, Cataclysm.

The Pandaren will be the new race of the expansion and can join either faction, which is something Blizzard has never tinkered with before.

Expansions are an opportunity to make the game feel “new” to the players and I’m hoping that Blizzard can achieve this without breaking it in the process. For now all we can do is wait and read until some sort of Beta comes out.

Remember The Old Cell Phones?

Posted in Technology

Haha, I remember the first time I saw my mom’s cellphone in the 90′s – it was massive! Amazing how things have changed since then. I wonder if at the time that commercial was created if anyone would have believed they would become a known cause of cancer…

How To Get Fired At Starbucks

Posted in Entertainment

When I initially read the article about this guy, I thought “what a dick – he deserved to get fired.” Then I watched the video and found it amusing. He mentions that when they’re out of normal coffee, they’ll give decaf instead, and in my brief experience in working with food I know that’s actually common practice. Consider that when you judge this guy for his lyrics.

He made a video response to this about being fired from Starbucks saying he was “disappointed,” but I’m not really sure why he’d be surprised. Places like Starbucks are all about customer image and they grade you on how friendly and helpful you act. Even though the video is funny, it reflects poorly on the company.

Nevertheless, losing a minimum wage job at Starbucks isn’t really something to cry over, and I bet this guy will have many opportunities in the future.

What a Ham

Posted in Entertainment

A few days ago, I posted a video of an Amazing Parrot that could perform some complex tricks. But did you know there are many unconventional pets that are just as smart as dogs and cats (if not more so)? Take this pig for example, who put on quite a show with his trainer:

Just goes to show the animal rights activists have something to fight for. Pigs are clearly intelligent animals, yet for some reason they are farmed for their meat. The same thing could be done to dogs and cats, yet most people would be appalled at the idea of eating them. In reality, there isn’t much difference between the animals though.
