TOOO MANY PODCASTS !!!!!!

Podcasts have become a serious part of my multimedia expeirence in the past year or so. I had always herd of them through word of mouth and other sources, but was never interested in par taking.

I first got hooked on podcasts by the website www.Spill.com . The site has a number of podcasts that revolve primarily around film,video games and some pop culture.

The site is a film review site for the average joe i guess you would say. Out of the main podcasts they produce I listen to "A Couple of Cold Ones" and "Lets Do this" religiously. It has come to be a great time waster while doing other things. However, despite there time length I found to get Addicted to a number of podcasts that I found on Itunes.

So Over the Past Year I now subscribe to over 20 podcasts, and with some coming out with an episode a day I now find myself with an abundant of unlistened to podcasts.

Of course I listen to my usual ones its my minor shows that go forgotten. Not that I dont like the shows its just that I dont have the time lol.

I now listen to them when I go to the Gym,Drive, and go to bed so hopefully I can catch up.

OMG MUST SEE # 1 - Real Life Mario Kart

Ok people. Im gonna start a new things where I post a new video everyday (no promises, i will try) it will most likely either be insanely hilarious or really interesting.

First video in this new section is called "Real Life Mario Kart"

This guy goes over the top (in a great way) by racing a go kart on the main roads of an urban environment, and throwing real BANANAS on the road. HAHA so funny, especially with the real sound effect from the game. He eventually gets caught in a grocery store when he goes to pick up more Bananas.

Hopefully they let him go. People like this need medals not jail time.

Android Phones Vs Apple

It seems there are more android phones then combinations of phone numbers possible. Not all are top end phones that can compare to the Iphone but from what I've seen there is a few that are,and maybe even BETTER.

Some Phones like the HTC Evo , Evo Shift, Motorola Droid, Nexus S are probably front runners when it comes to comparing to the Iphone but in my mind its the "HTC Thunderbold" that might be the best smartphone to soon be on the market.

The phone has a front facing camera for video chat as well as a 8 Megapixl camera on the back.

The phone has a high resolution VGA screen probably the best next to the Iphone Retina display. One of the biggest thing is its 4g capability, which the iphone has never been able to achieve and from current rumors wont be in the next version of the phone either. It has almost a full inch bigger screen then the current iphone at 3.5 Inch and the Thunderbolt at 4.3.

Apps could go eitherway, the android marketplace is growing more and more everyday. Almost all popular Iphone apps are now available on android phones.

This phone tops off with 800 mb of Ram!!!! holy jumpin. This thing has more speed memory then my Emachines PC.

I am an apple lover but this thing is making me look the other way. Id say the only thing stopping me from getting this when it comes out is the simplicity of itunes and the Iphone. Its so convenient to have my Photos,Music and podcast which I get from the Itunes Store is synced via Itunes in one easy step. Plug it in, let it sync and off I go.

Im not sure about the software that the Thunderbolt has for syncing, but if its as simple and convenient, it might not be a contest. Until The Iphone 5.

GreenPoison Releases Iphone Jailbreak 4.2.1

If you have tried to jailbreak your iphone with IOS 4.2.1 Firmware you know that you had to do what is called a "Tethered Jailbreak" which means whenever your IOS device turns off, you had to plug it into your computer and red the program "Redsnow" in order to turn it back on.

I had an Iphone 3g, now i own an Iphone 4. I have always been skeptical of jailbreaking my phone for a number of reasons. First being the name. Jailbreaking sounds so destructive. I know that its not as bad as I had thought before but it also cancels your apple warranty.

I had attempted to Jailbreak my phone about a week ago and had nothing but problems. It would load up the cydia app store. Any app i downloaded wouldnt work and not to mention, turning my phone on took way longer then normal and scared me to death.

Today a Website called GreenPoison has released an "Untethered Jailbreak" software for mac users and windows to be released in the next few days.

If you go to the site now (at least for me) you will get and offline message or just a screen shot of the homepage and you are unable to download the software. This could be for the amount of traffic it might have received or for whatever reason they may have.

I am interested in trying this one more time, so if anyone has any success stories I would Love to Know.

Great Viral Video Site.

Ever seen a video on youtube that made you laugh out loud? A video that amazed you?

Of course you have, however these videos are sometimes hard to find. Well there is a website that is designed to show you some of these videos. In fact a diferent video everyday in a number of categories from Funny,Music,Tech,and Ouch which im sure you can guesse what kind of videos are in that category.

The Site is called TodaysBigThing.com.

I recomend you put it in your bookmarks and check it out once a day and check the new videos from a number sources they have.

The site locates viral videos from a number of sources like Youtube & Break.com and put 1 video in a number of categories everyday.

I personally have found a number of hidden gems on this site and others seem to enjoy it as well. Here is a video I found last week that I was amazed by.

Enjoy.

Just For Laughs 2010

I got the opportunity to work the Just For Laughs Festival In Toronto On July 9th and 10th.

On the 9th It was held at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre In Toronto. To my suprise the acts were all chinese. I thought I would be able to enjoy some stand up comedy but I was wrong :(

On the 10th it was What i Wanted. Some Stand up Comedy. Oddley enough one of my favorite comedians Gabriel Iglesias was there I Told him i was a huge fan and he was a really cool guy.

There were other funny comedians I have never herd of that I will look more into.

-Wil Silvynce

-Brett Ernst

Were really funny

NEW OLD SPICE COMMERICIAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Portugal is Out :(

Portugals dreams in the world cup 2010 Are over :(, i am upset but I prepared myself to loose already because of the poor performance and that spain are a really good squad.

I also dont feel as emotionally connected to this team like I used to because some of my favourite players no longer play for them. Cristiano Ronaldo to me was a terrible captain.

His attitude towards the game is rediculous. He got fouled in the game but the ref didnt call it he was so upset he sat on the ground for a good minute while the game was going on. Jesus get up and play the game stop being a baby.

Hopefully Euro 2012 will be better !

Cheers Everyone.

Having a good few days at work, starting early ending at the beggning of the night,

Tuesday when my work week started I was in the airpot at 8:oo am, which is ok fine. We ended up sitting around in our cars waiting for security to check our gear. We didnt lift a finger until around 3:00 pm so the day went by pretty slow. Didnt end up getting out of work until 9:00 and I hasd to rush home and grab my gear for my hockey game that I had at 10:30 that night.

I ended up making it in time for the game. We played a good game to start. Good passing unfortunatley every time we scored a goal they other team answered back. Our goalie played a great game, he just flustered with shots. The game got a little bit dirty which made us loose out control.

Game Finished 6-3 : we loose :(

For those of you who know ( i know most dont) I play soccer games on wendsdays, so back to back sports. Get into work at 8 again and work until 7. The day was so boring waiting for planes to come in so I spent the whole day on my computer just watching videos, soccer readin articles on the internet etc.

Made it in time for my soccer game, good thing I did to because I got my first shutout of the season we spanked that team 6-0. Great Job guys so not we are sitting pretty on the top of the league.

Right now as I am writing this I am at work where I was in at 7 and again Im just on my computer doing NOTHING plus im gonna be getting lots of overtime which means lots of money.

Still 3 more days to go till this G20 thing is all over wish me luck

Cheers Guys

Long time no blog.

Hi guys, long time no blog.

Been pretty boring week for me which leaves me with no excuse for no blogs but I am enjoying the rest before I have a solid few work days ahead of me.

I have been watching the world cup (big surprise) My game is on today at 7. Portugal Vs North Korea. We need to kick ass, Brazil beat Ivory coast today by 2 goals which helps us alot.

There have been some suprises with the world cup. Spain,Germany have lost to a team they should have easily handled. Italy alsmot lost today to New Zealand of all places, Jesus the so called World Champions couldnt handle preassure from a bogus team like that.

I recently wasted $10 on Full Tilt Poker so I can try and win some money, I have gone unsucessfull in the past hopefully its time for the turnaround. Just recently played a free Razz tournament I placed 10th out of 121 to give me 800 playing chips. I pays 500 play chips to get in. I was hoping to get the 16,000 main prize which can give ma enough chips to enter in bigger tournaments on order to get real money.

I am working the G8/G20 summit that is coming to Toronto this week for Television, that would be shown around the world. Its gonna be a long couple of days I exspect over 15 hours, but that means lots of money which means I can buy new toys. lol. Not really since I went on a recent spending spree and need to replenish and slow down for a bit.

Which Luck this week you guys.

Cheers

Pretty Damn Funny

Day 5 fifa World Cup

Slovakia Vs New Zealand: 1-1

Honestly this game was probably one of my favourites in the tournament so far. Some nice talent on the Slovakian side. Coming from young 22 year old captain Marek Hamsik and Vladomir Weiss. They moved the ball around niceley and had some nice scoring chances. Robert Vittek scored the games first goal for Slovakia midway through the Second Half

Winston Ried from New Zealand Scored the tieing goal with seconds and I mean SECONDS left on the clock.

Close call for New Zealand

Portugal Vs Ivory Coast: 0-0

This game nearly gave me a heart attack, good thing I don't have high blood pressure. The Ivory Coast played a Really good game keeping Portugal at bay and they also had scoring chances of there own.

Early in the game Crisitiano Ronaldo took a shot that strung off the post. The effort clocked at 106 M/hr. My heart dropped when it hit the post.

Gervinho on the Ivory COast was a serious threat to the Portuguese deffence, an unexspected threat it was but fortunately no goal were conceded .

Brazil VS North Korea: 2-1

North Korea played a very solid game against the number 1 rank Brazilian team but time ran out for them, Brazil scored two goals in the second half.

Good try Guys.

Some nerve rattling games today , hope to see more.

Sammy Farha Wins His 3rd Bracelet

I am an avid Poker Player/Watcher and have been a fan of Sammy Farha for a while now. If i had to pick players to play with at a poker game. I would definatley consider Farha.

This week during the 2010 World Series of Poker. Sam Farha won the $10,000 World Championship Omaha hi/low 8 or better Event. I was following him on this for about a day and he was at the bottom of the chip count during the final table and it seems like Farha came back into it without Breaking a sweat.

Sam's constant table talk makes playing with him hard but the way he does it also makes it fun for the table and makes it hard to get mad at him when he beats you. Im sure he took full adavantage of this during this event. Hope he does well in the future.

Here were the Standings

Day 4 Fifa World Cup

NEDERLAND VS DENMARK : 2-0

Holland are known for there firepower and scoring strength. Right at kick off Holland put the preassure on Denmark forcing them to kick the ball back.

Denmark ajusted to the flow of the game and had some good chances on the Dutch goalkeeper but Stekelenburg played great.

Denmarks defender Poulson headed a corner kick ball into his own net causing the first and most important goal of the game. Later Eljero Elia made a great play and kicked the balled off the post and Dirk Kuyt put it the game away

JAPAN VS CAMEROON: 1-0

Cameroon's Samuel Eto'o was exspected to light it up but Japan was able to keep him underwraps. Honda for japan scored the only goal of the match

Italy Vs Paraguay : 1-1

Who really wants to see Italy win again lol.

In my opinion Paraguay started some of the wrong players. They do have some strong strikers but unfortunatley two of the best were on the bench.

Paraguay put a number on the board first with a goal from Antolin Alcaraz who scored off a header beating Buffon, who for some injury reason needed to be replaced for a new goalkeeper.

Daniel de Rossi tied the game off a corner kick that landed perfectly on his foot and into the back of the net.

Paraguay finally put world class striker Oscar Cardoz0 on the pitch to try and get the winning goal. Unfortunatly it was too little to late.

Italy put on more preassure at the last stages of the game but time finished with the game tied at 1-1. The defending champions put together a unimpressive performance

Hot Tub Time Machine

2010's "The Hangover" is "Hot Tub Tim Machine"

If you likes that movie then you will probably like this one. This is gonna be a fast and simple review because I am tired. Sorry People.

Indeed I did found this movie funny but the same thing happened to me with the Hangover. The overhyping hurt my liking of the movie. People told me this movie was SOOO Funny and it took me a while to watch it and yes I enjoyed it but didnt follow the hype.

There is a joke that I laughed out loud Hard!!.

The black character in the film (Craig Robinson) is about to get his dick sucked by his friend becuase of a bet they lossed, and his friends jokes about his dick being so big and black he said. "Holy shit, it looks like Gary Coleman's For arm"

Did not see that coming so I laughed pretty histarically. There are plenty other good jokess in the film so go see it, its pretty cool.

Cheers Everyone

Day 3 World Cup

Ok Everyone im not gonna lie to you guys. I missed all the games today. I planned on watching both morning games but fell asleep for both of them and The afternoon game I had a hockey game so I was forced to miss that game.

I will fill you in on what happened however.

Solvenjia VS Algeria: 1-0

79" R.Koran

Ghana VS Serbia : 1-0

84" A.Gyan

Germany Vs Austrailia : 4-0

Now I saw the goals for this game. One in paticular was so pretty. Miroslave Klose scored a beautifull goal from a unbelievable ball from Phillip Lahm. Germany are looking strong in there first game.

Tommarow have some good matches

The Runnaways movie

Not gonna lie kind strange seeing Dakot Fanning in langerei.

The film "The Runnaways" is a biopic of the 1970's metal/punk all girl band called The Runnaways. Dakotta Faning plays the band frontwoman Cheri Currie. The young teenager who gets into the rock and roll lifestyle. Joan Jett in the film is played by Kristin Stewart

I have herd a review from www.spill.com which I follow regularly, and they said that it is a boring and unoriginal bio pic. I can agree on unorginal becuase it is the rise and fall of a Musician, which you see all the time. As for the film being boring I couldnt say that at all. I was never bored time flew by quick as I wacthed it. I cant find alot of things to say good about it but I didnt hate it for find it dull I couldnt stop watching.

Fanning did a good job as Cheri Currie, Stewart i cant really say the same. She had the more interesting character in joan jett but her acting made you not care about her you just wanted her shut up and play guitar.

That is one problem I will say I have with this movie. In the beggining you see young Joan Jett learning the guitar, dreaming to be a rock star. Now she is below par at the guitar and it seems like in a day she is on top of the world. Same goes for the other musicians they were unimpressive at their respective instruments and still managed to become stars. Wish it was that easy.

A member on spill.com also mentioned that the character of Joan Jett is unexplained they dont tell you about their past,where they grew up NOTHING, and he was absoluley right but for some reason I liked that they went right into it. Its strange because if it was a band I like i would critisize them for that but I hardley knew anything about the runaways before this, the film moved very well without any signs of slowing down with boring bits.

Again I cant find many bad things about the film but I cant find many good ones either. So I suppose that makes it average but I will bump it up and say better then average.

This is the idea of the PERFECT rental movie

Day 2 Fifa World Cup (17)

Yayy more then 2 games on today!

SOUTH KOREA VS GREECE: 2-0

As a portuguese supporter of course I want to see Greece suffer. However I still had a feeling South Africa would beat Greece in this game, and BEAT them they did.

Greece started the game off strong then Korea scored a set piece goal mid-way through the half.

Macnhester United's Park Ji Sung put the game away with the second goal in the second.

ARGENTINA VS NIGERIA : 1-0

Argentina has one of the most telented teams in the tournament, when you have players like Diego Milito and Sergio Auguero on the bench you know your team is staked. So you would figure that a match against Nigeria would be a cake walk, in some ways it was and in some others it wasnt. Lionel Messi had SO MANY chances to score today but the Nigerian goalkeeper was unbeatable against him. They managed to pull off the victory anyway but even though the match was one sided I expsected more from the powerhouse squad.

ENGLAND VS USA :1-1

England came out strong and fast scoring in the first few minutes of the match. Started with a beautiful pass from Heskey and was finished with a lovely touch by stephen Gerrard. The game continued to be exciting with lots of chances from england but American goalkeeper tim Howard kept the American's in it.

Late in the 1st half the US scored a goal that was a shocker. You gotta see it to understand.

Day 1 Fifa World Cup (16)

Mixed emotions on day 1 of the Fifa world cup.

Couldnt sleep all night becuase of my excitement for the first 2 games of the tournament.

MEXICO VS SOUTH AFRICA: 1-1:

Mexico south Africa was the first game of the tournament and the home team started off looking as if they were going to be pushed over in time with players such as Blanco and Giovanni dos Santos ripping their defence appart. Goalkeeping kept south africa alive and their offence bounced back to score the opening goal. And WHAT A GOAL it was, picking off the top right hand corner great opening goal of the tournament.

Mexico came back and tied it not so long later and made it a 1-1 Tie Game.

Must Say I was really impressed by Mexico's style of play.

URUGUAY VS FRANCE 0-0:

This game was Boring not becuase it ended 0-0, just overall. France outplayed Uruguay throughout the whole game and France played like shit too. So thats saying something. I exspected fire from Diego FORLAN and Luis suarez. The only upside was good defending from diego Lugano and Egidio Arévalo Ríos

DAY 2 Will Be Updated tommarrow
