So, here’s the story.. Jay-Z wakes up one day and gets dropped off at an abandoned warehouse, by himself.

He proceeds to rap in the empty warehouse, by himself.

He blows sh*t up and disses a bunch of rappers. finito.

Sorry for the missing videocast yesterday, there was no 3G coverage in Mooloolaba where I was staying. I’ve decided to post the Townsville-Mackay, Mackay-Maryborough and Maryborough-Mooloolaba photos (Wow, did I get all the names right?) whilst I get the video ready.

Was up bright and early on Saturday morning (22Aug09) to climb the local ‘Mordor” - Walsh’s Pyramid.

Starting on the 31st August, I’ll be jumping in the car and driving from the North of Australia, all the way down to the bottom of the continent (Melbourne).

This has been something I’ve been talking about doing for the last year or two. This is the real deal, I’m moving to Melbourne!

There were rumours going around the office that I dropped my new iPhone into a fresh cup of coffee.. These allegations are completely *untrue*. But I figured it would be a great experiment to try out.

The experiment is, to see how big the splash would be if an iPhone went diving into coffee. [Apple start reading here] Or, alternatively how the slippery back of the iPhone is unsuitable for resting on a laptop that resides on an inclined stand.

Recipe for disaster:

• 1 x brand spankin’ new iPhone 3GS
• 1 x Griffin laptop stand
• 1 x Cup of freshly brewed PIAZZA D’ORO — Dolce Vita Coffee

Here’s the experiment..

First place the new iPhone on the inclined laptop surface. Then, place the full cup of coffee under the laptop stand so as to encourage the biggest splash!

Here’s what it would have looked like (using Abhi’s iPhone 3G) ..

And this is the amount of coffee that would need to be sponged up after the experiment.

And the result.. A nice big mess to clean up! N.B: no iPhones were harmed during this experiment.

By far the best musical discovery for me, so far this year is Phoenix. The french group dropped their latest album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix in February this year and it peaked at #13 on the Australian album charts.

Here is an unplugged version of Lisztomania by Phoenix.

Here is the Brat Pack Mashup, which the band seems to fancy more than their original “expensive” version.
