Holidays again

with 8 comments

Exams finished on 23rd May (Sorry for being late to update here). And its holidays till July 6th (Probably) for me.

I have no idea what am gonna do in these holidays. I had ideas of a case-mod but I don’t know how, when or where to start. I’ll probably end up learning to play a guitar instead.

I’ve completed the Spider-Man 3 VG but haven’t seen the movie yet, which I would on 29th .. Pirates of the Caribbean 3 launches 1st of June here, a week later than most other places and am planning to catch it by the first day or second if I get lucky in advance bookings. Shrek 3 is on its way here too but am not so very interested in watching Shrek 3 in the theater.

Karthik, who recently got his own domain ‘Karthiksn.com‘ is now being hosted by me (My first venture at it).

I got to extend my domain’s life by another 3 years ( Use it or not :P ) and got to buy 1-2 additional domains for the plans I got in my mind now .. In hardware, am looking out for a good 19″ or 20″ LCD, and would get one soon, in a month mostly. I’ll also buy a new set of speakers to replace my old 1998 ones :P

Anyone got ideas where and how much wireless headphones are available and cost? (In Chennai)

I saw this page a few months ago and I sure think its a very very innovative idea. Just look at it!

Book Cave

I found this good game called Grid Wars. Its just another 360° Space Shooter but its weird grid type graphics are lovely and much more fun than any other Space Shooter I’ve seen.

Grid Wars

Heroes (TV Series) has just one more episode left for its first season to complete, and most of us still don’t have a clue on what’s gonna happen. Funny thing is, you like both the villain ‘Sylar‘ and the main hero ‘Peter‘ and you would wish neither dies in their confrontation which is gonna happen (as the trailers speak) in the final episode - 23. Then a season 2 takes off and I got to wait for it. (again!)

Lost is gonna end as well, not the series, just the season .. (*groan*) But its turning interesting now, cause we finally see the survivors trying to get off the island, instead of playing golf.

I can’t wait for my exams to finish and then start thinking about the case mod that’s on my mind these days. Also I’ll soon be getting a new shiny monitor to play Halo 2 (For Vista) on it :D

P.s. Here’s some stuff for the comic pervert in you.

I wonder how the display missed the “-on“. It probably got too much of internet’s bigger side I guess.

This reminds me of…

XBox 360’s New Controller with a full QWERTY thumb keyboard.

Of course, there cant be a better way to text-curse exactly while owning the opponent.

Well, this is the new XBox 360 upgrades, new features like talking to your Windows Live Messenger buddies whilst gaming, via an overlay window, new auto download features that promises to never let your XBox stop leeching new videos or games. And more.

That controller looks so stupid, I mean, how comfortable will it get? Plus its added weight, and cost. But the good part is, XBox 360s now connect to PCs and Mobile devices, for those stupidly ‘lol’ filled conversations.

LED Faucet Lights

LED Faucet Lights

Wow. Why didn’t any one think about these earlier? They’re so uber cool!

Tired of that same old monotonous water? Bored with water that doesn’t look like futuristic alien mouthwash? Need to make your midnight bathroom appointments more exhilarating? Then you need to get the LED faucet light attachment from ThinkGeek. You can turn any faucet in your home into a streaming fantasia of techie-bliss in just minutes. How does it work? Just attach to the end of your faucet (universal adapters included), and when the water flows through the magic chamber, it simply turns on the LED array and illuminates the stream with soothingly powerful hues.

But wait, there’s more! You get to choose between two different Faucets.
