Better than a giant squid - a huge shark

If you think about it - something has to feed on collosal squids and the like

Spotify - Bad music challenge

Have spent a day or so mucking about on Spotify - it's great and despite what Robert may believe he did not win the music off - I found far worse music than him to play. Definitely worth a look though and I challenge you to find the worst song you can on there. For reference there is no Anita Dobson I checked.

The final countdown

Creativity is not dead ... though perhaps this guys time would be spent better elsewhere - but hey the Kazookeylele may catch on

New Gadgets

Having had issues with my old printer I have given in and purchased a new shiny toy. I really liked my old printer when I first got it but after I got the Mac it just did not work as well. The fact that I seemed incapable of getting non bordered pictures was a pain in the behind.

Anyway after a mooch about the local PC world we managed to find an Epson that fitted the bill and I have to say I am pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to set up.

The PX800-FW (catchy 'aint it - I shall from here on in refer to it as Wilbur) is one of these specialty printers designed for doing 1001 things, almost non of which I will use in the long run, but it does print great photo's quickly. Now purchasing something that does more than I need it to may well seem like a waste but it does have a number of features that I really like

(1) It provides really detailed prints
(2) You can replace individual ink cartridges as and when needed as there are 6 individual ones
(3) You can duplex print
(4) You don’t take the skin off of your knuckles every time you need to replace one of the inks like I did with the old one

After a day of use I can say that I am happy with my purchase so if you are looking for a new printer it is worth your consideration

Meaningful Words

Just read a quote on Twitter that I liked. It was posted by Tony Robbins but is attributed to Buddha

Though one should conquer a thousand times a thousand men in battle, he who conquers his own self, is the greatest of all conquerors

I am not sure what to make of it other than it seems to mean something to me. I think I will ponder this for a while and see if it brings anything to mind. I wonder how do you truly conquer yourself, is it a case of win the battle and loose the war without ever realising you were in combat in the first place?
