Creepers Jeepers

For them monday afternoons

Never been a big fan of the console games. But the web is abuzz about the addictiveness of this game. So, I hooked up my laptop to a projector while waiting in a conference room and tried the level one and mercilessly fragged all the creepers. Just when I was about to dismiss the game, a fellow lagger at work showed me this video. Fraggin' all the creepers at the toughest level, now this is just beautiful. Do give the game a try before checking out the link.

This is just a plug for a great new entrant to the blogosphere. Asok is old hat and not half as funny as the real life saaftware/bpo baayz from the subcontinent.

Hipster Doofus Part II

Allaboutjazz review

Kurt Elling's latest album came out last week -- it's his first in four years. After a quick glance at the track list the snob in me wanted to put this down as yet another of his misguided attempts at jazz balladry. That he had enlisted the services of a string quartet on a couple of tracks only furthered my anticipation of cheese.

But, as with the majority of his recordings, when I got around to listening to the whole album on a lazy Saturday afternoon, I couldn't bring myself to bash it. Elling plays his part with such sincerity and lack of pretense, laughing at his frequent pratfalls or pointing out his (many) technical shortcomings just doesn't feel right. Overall I think it is a fun album and worth a listen.
