I LOVE THIS VIDEO! SENOR CHANG IS AWESOME! I swear this show is just insane! And this video encompasses the awesomness of the show in just 1 minute and 57 seconds. I seriously can’t get enough of this song, and these guys rapping is great and funny when your reading the translation. The show’s characters are fantastic but Troy, Abed, and Senor Chang are just off the charts.
I’m a fan of Star Trek, and I do like Ke$sha’s song Tik Tok and this mash up is pretty funny. Just listening to the words and some of the scenes are taking it literally. Star Trek never gets old!
Working on the Enterprise is pretty much a non-stop party as far as I’m concerned. (Probably because the only parts I pay attention to are the Kirk/Spock moments, Scotty when he’s drinking, Chekov when he’s macking on his girlfriend and doing no work, and Uhura singing and just HAVING A GOOF in general.) But really, this video was made for CLAIRE. I hope she finds it funny. You know, amusing.
Every few months I always put together a new playlist to drive and ride to, this the list of songs which are the top of the last few months plus a few unknown songs which are really fun to listen to and just fun music. It really is a mix of music, probably something for everyone in this list. Luckily I got jump started by Ananyah’s original list then expanded a lot on it, out of 50 songs I took about 15 songs and added another 25 songs since her mix was more RnB tailored, I wanted something that was a little bit more upbeat or intense. The songs with stars ** are the songs that I really like and the more there are the more I like it, don’t mind listening to it again and again.

Madonna is one of those unique performers, not every musician is good on stage but Madonna takes it to another level. I won’t lie I’m a huge fan of her music, she just keeps making each album as unique as the next. If you have inkling towards Madonna then you have to get the Sticky & Sweet tour CD & DVD. I watched the whole concert and I have to say that Madonna is a little to boney for my liking but her performance was fantastic. The best part of the concert was the music, remixed and redone to fit the live performance, upbeat and energizing, and most of the songs were even better then the original songs. For any Madonna fan or those who like her music you have to watch this concert and get the CD.

This reminds me of the BMW movies back in the early 2000s when they had this crazy storyline about driver who was either James Bond or The Transporter. Driving arnound in the 7 series or 5 series kicking ass and saving people. Now Audi is taking the same idea of guns blasting, car chases, explosions with the Audi A1 and making a mini-show out of it.
The one thing that stopped me the most from joining the Apple Bandwagon was DRM on the MP3s, even after getting an iPod I kept buying my MP3s from Amazon when they first opened their MP3 store. Then Amazon went region specific so I couldn’t buy most of the songs because I was based out of the US. Luckily by then Apple switched to DRM free but it isn’t completely clean. To appease the music labels Apple went ahead with another type of scheme. Now all your music is watermarked with your personal information just as the image above. Your name and other details are attached to the songs information, you have to look for it to find it, and it seems hard to find unless you know what your looking for. To them its simple you have nothing to fear from the watermarking unless it gets onto P2P or BitTorrents, then the labels come for your heads. One way or another the labels want control over the music, they don’t want you to have full freedom no matter what. But others have still resisted this pressure and selling songs fine.
Dirty MP3s:
- iTunes
- Lala (Owned By Apple)
- Walmart
Clean MP3s:
- Amazon
- Napster
- The Rest of Them

Jay Z’s “Empire State of Mind” and Star Wars remix, all put together by College Humor and they did a fantastic job. I love the song in the first place with Jay Z and Alicia Keys but not Darth Vader taking the lead with Princess Leia. Never thought they could remix the whole thing into the coolest Star Wars lyrics possible of all the episodes into one song, just doesn’t get any cooler then this. The best parts were the Ewoks and the Storm Troopers, they just made the video that much better, seriously its a fantastic remix.

I thought this would be a more difficult process then I expected. I currently have my iTunes library on my PC and I wanted it to move it to my Netgear ReadyNAS 1100 on the network. The ReadyNAS 1100 is a very solid high performance Network Area Storage unit, it has redundancy and been running for over a year and half now. I wanted have the library in a secure place with full redundancy accessible from any piece of hardware.
I thought it would very difficult to do but turns out its simpler then I thought, luckily Apple have thought about this issue and Home Sharing wasn’t going to work. Following the steps below you can move your library to any location and maintain all your playlists, playcounts, statistics, music, tv, movies, music videos and applications.
First Step:
- Click Edit and go to “Preferences” then click the “Advanced” Tab
- Where it says “iTunes Media folder location” click “Change” on the right and click any location, in my case I chose the NASBunker1100
- Then Click “OK”
Second Step:
- Click “File”
- Click “Library” from the menu
- Click “Organize” from the submenu
- Then Check “Consolidate” and hit OK
- Then let your system copy over all the Music, TV Shows, Movies, and Details to the new location. This could range from 30 minutes to hours depending on the mount of data you have.
This whole process took me less then 10 minutes and the copying took a few hours but I just left the machine. It worked smoothly without any disruptions, I was playing my music and music videos fine, and the data on the main PC is still intact so if anything is miss you can just copy it over without any issues.
Loved this video, very descriptive of geeks and geek smart. I really think this guy did a fantastic job with the lyrics, I loved it all, I think Jay-Z and Alicia Keys would love this remix. Thanks to Ananyah for posting this up. For those who don’t know Ananyah is back up and running now, she is back to blogging.
I am a happy user of the Sonos Multiroom music system, and the best part is the consistent quality of music. I bought it when I had the larger CR100 remote which had a click wheel and wasn’t touch screen but extremely durable. Now with the CR200 Sonos has really made advancements in the remote technology and user interface is so much better then before and smoother to work with.
The best part of the new user interface is the new search functionality which makes it very easy to go through large collections of music. You can type in what your looking for and it does a smart filter of possible matches as you are typing. Sirius and other music services are fantastic to work with on this unit, better then even the desktop software. Its smooth and seamless and I get to access all my Sirius music without a hitch and changing between them is easy enough.
I have the Sonos application running on my iPod touch but the difference is that the Sonos CR200 runs on the Sonos mesh rather then the wifi, so if wifi doesn’t reach its working on the mesh network of the music units. The feel and quality of the unit is unsurpassed, very good feel with a solid build and high quality screen. This unit is worth every penny for something of this quality and experience.
