After the many,many months of searching, I am finally gainfully employed. It has been an extremely hard road not having a job, meaning I didn’t have any focus in life. The whole process gave me a new understanding of myself. I start work on Monday and I am working for a company called M W Kellogg (not the breakfast cereal people).

As this blog has been running for a couple of years now, I think one of the most important parts of my job as a blogger is to use hyperlinks well. Personally, I have really embraced the concept of hyperlinking within my posts, as I think it is important, but others don’t seem to understand the true usefulness of hyperlinking.

What may appear as a bit of a weird title to this post, let me explain. It is the name of a both the song and video by a group called, Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip. The song in question is something that one of my facebook friends posted, that I thought was so amazing, IÂ listen to it on repeat six times. I think that this video speaks directly to the youtube generation, telling us not to be lazy and greedy. If anything, it is just very funny. Give it a listen.
As a massive movie fan and other media, there are some films that are important texts. There films setup a genre or are referenced by other media. These classics, that people always just guess that everyone have seen, but in reality, few have. This list is one of shame, as I really should have watched all of them, but haven’t seen any of this list, so here goes. Read more
Mobile phones are an important part of all of our lives these days, but many of us don’t think about them very much. But with the iPhone and other so called smart phones, these devices are now not only phones but music players, GPS devices and cameras. This is something that I simply don’t agree with, for the simplest of reasons and it is two words, battery life. Battery life on phones is bad enough already, but by adding all this functionality means that the device is used for so many different things that the battery life can never match up. For example if you use your phone as a music player for any length of time, the battery will be dead by the end of the day. By putting these devices together, it means that your phone maybe able to do lots of things, but none of them well, a jack of all trades.
What is the reason for this? People complain that they don’t want to carry around lots of devices with them. How lazy are these people? Music players like the iPod Nano or creative zen series fit easily in a jacket pocket with a phone. It is not like anyone carries a brief case anymore, all most people have to carry these days, is phone,wallet and keys. You can’t carry a music player to? Personally, I have a Nokia phone, iPod touch and a Casio camera, which is how I like it. Each device is amazing what it does by itself, I can’t see how putting these devices together would give me any gain what so ever. But with all these devices coming together, the standalone devices may stop being sold. There is already talk about getting rid of the iPod Classic. Well I tell these device makers, I am not buying your toaster phone!
