Virtually surf the chinese censored interwebs →
This Firefox addon allows you to redirect your IP through China, which means you are surfing the web as if you were actually in China.
If you try to surf to one of the web-sites banned by China, you are locked out of the internet for 15 minutes. Luckily for you though (unless you really are in China), you can just open a new browser and resume browsing straight away.

Spoke to Sarah Kelly of theredsunband, she was a fairly nice lady and the article turned out pretty well, I think.
…and then they covered it up within about 15mins with a feature on Amanda Palmer. Fuck, what an amazing 15mins it was though.

El Guincho Mixtape →
For those of you with tickets to Laneway Festival (hooray), party starter El Guincho has released a 30 minute Mix Tape that is a great preview of what to expect, and it’s a whole bundle of fun.
The entire thing can be downloaded from Gorilla vs Bear.
The tracklist is:
Claustrofobia - Paris Nostalgic (edit) The Congos - Ark Of The Covenant (edit) MC Solaar - Temps Mort (edit) Marina Rossell...
Fallout Retrospective →
I’m very excited for Fallout 3 (however my enjoyment of Call Of Duty 4 at the moment will hold me back from buying it for a while until I get the most out of CoD), having enjoyed, however not completely understood, the Fallout games as I was growing up.
Gamertrailers has put together a 15 minute retrospective video of the Post Apocolyptic series, including the original Wasteland, Fallout 1...

so with having to add all my name and date of birth details to that ticket, it appears it might be somewhat harder to resell. haaa. oh well, we’ll see.
I’m pretty sure they let you change the names on the tickets and reissue them for a while yet, but stop you doing it a few weeks before the festival, to prevent the last minute scalping rush.

Microsoft figure out how to stop piracy, people... →
rantingaboutcameras:
Okay, let me get this straight. People are shitty at Microsoft because they installed a program that sends your screen black and locks a whole bunch of stuff up if they catch you using pirated software. Remember, you’re PIRATING SOFTWARE from the LARGEST software company in the world. Also, the EULA (which you have to agree to when you install it) says “Vista will...

Dappled Cities Fly - Holy Chord (La Blogotheque)
I wish they’d come back to Australia already. Stop living the American dream, boys, and come home!
I saw Tim from Dappled Cities in a bar in Sydney once when I was really really drunk. I asked him if they were going to go with the name Dappled Cities Fly or just stick with Dappled Cities. There was no consistency, both names were...
