It's a highly amusing film particularly if you've ever been in situations similar to these. http://haastek.co.uk/blog/blogentry.php?pid=36http://haastek.co.uk/blog/blogentry.php?pid=36Lately I've been listening to the new Coldplay album 'Viva La Vida'. The album is good but it is very similar to all of Coldplay's previous albums, it has no real identity of its own. Songs from this album could easily fit on their first album, for example, and vice versa. As usual Coldplay try and make up for this by dressing themselves differently and using different imagery, but it doesn't hide the fact that they are unable to reinvent themselves and come up with a new sound. This is where they contrast drastically to a band they are often compared to, Radiohead, with each album Radiohead manage to find a new sound and produce something different. You could never take songs from Kid A and put them on the Bends it just wouldn't work. http://haastek.co.uk/blog/blogentry.php?pid=35http://haastek.co.uk/blog/blogentry.php?pid=35The phoenix lander has officially found ice on mars. This was confirmed after some white shiny stuff, which was dug up by the lander, sublimated, which is when ice skips the liquid state and just evaporates.This is great news for Nasa as finding ice was one of main aims of this mission. http://haastek.co.uk/blog/blogentry.php?pid=34http://haastek.co.uk/blog/blogentry.php?pid=34 A designer named Adam Huffman has redesigned the pocket watch for the 21st century. Externally the watch is similar to those found in the 19th and early 20th century but inside, the display is considerably different and features an OLED touch-screen interface which shows the time, date, temperature, and updates on voicemail, email and text. I don’t know if this will ever reach the market but it’s a pretty interesting idea. http://haastek.co.uk/blog/blogentry.php?pid=33http://haastek.co.uk/blog/blogentry.php?pid=33 http://haastek.co.uk/blog/blogentry.php?pid=32http://haastek.co.uk/blog/blogentry.php?pid=32'Keith Lemon's Very Brilliant World Tour' is the new series by the creator of 'Bo' Selecta!', Leigh Francis. In it he plays a character called Keith Lemon, a business man who is taking a gap year to travel the world. The series is highly entertaining and is kind of like a cross between 'Bo' Selecta!' and Borat. This is part 1 of episode 1. http://haastek.co.uk/blog/blogentry.php?pid=31http://haastek.co.uk/blog/blogentry.php?pid=31Have you ever wondered what a cartoon character would look like if they were real? Well the creator of Pixeloo has, and with the power of Photoshop he has managed to create some amazingly good renderings of what Homer Simpson and Mario could look like if they were real.http://haastek.co.uk/blog/blogentry.php?pid=30http://haastek.co.uk/blog/blogentry.php?pid=30Suspended animation is often seen in science fiction but it may soon become a reality thanks to a group of scientists who have found that giving small doses of hydrogen sulfide to mice induced a state of metabolic suppression. The effects began soon after the gas was inhaled and the mice returned to normal within half an hour of their air supply returning to normal. If this can be done to humans, without any adverse effects, then it could open up possibilities for long term space travel. http://haastek.co.uk/blog/blogentry.php?pid=29http://haastek.co.uk/blog/blogentry.php?pid=29Wally Yachts has announced a new gigayacht called the WallyIsland. It's 325 feet long and can be outfitted with pools, tennis courts, mini soccer fields or a garden as pictured. It also has room for 24 guests, a crew of 40, two 45 foot speed boats and a helipad. Pretty immense, if you can afford it. function pic(image) { document.getElementById('mainpic').innerHTML = "" } http://haastek.co.uk/blog/blogentry.php?pid=28http://haastek.co.uk/blog/blogentry.php?pid=28Stuff like this has been done many times before but never this amazingly well.
