Sex and the Matrix

Apparently, Sex and the Matrix which is a Sex and the City-Matrix mesh-up was filmed for the 2000 MTV Movie awards. It’s been out in 2000 and it is a shame that I have never seen it. I just came across to it somewhere I do not visit often, Yahoo Video. It is a very funny parody indeed.

Comments for Amazon Reviews

I noticed the other day that Amazon has enabled comments for product reviews. I don’t know how long this has been up but I think it is a great idea. First user images, then forums on product pages and now this. Amazon is truly converting into a user centric website. This way sane users may comment on some possibly insane or misleading reviews.

I am sure it would not be easy but even manufacturers could follow the reviews from the buyers for certain products and chime in to create a conversation from a product review. I am sure this would help a lot with customer service image of a company.

Tune of the Week: Nathan Asher and The Infantry

When I first heard Nathan Asher and The Infantry last week I knew he would be the feature of Tune of the Week for this week. I loved his lyrics and my favourite song was the Turn up the Faders. His lyrics are powerful and the song is fun to listen.
He sounded like Bright Eyes (I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning) to me but a bit more fast and loud.

His myspace page has some of his songs from his album Sex Without Love and they are worth a listen as well.

So, my tune of the week for this week is Turn up the Faders. As a bonus for this week, I also give you the music video as well. Enjoy.


Get this video and more at MySpace.com

Tune of the Week: Kerbslider

This past week, I found myself listening to?a British rock band over and over again: Kerbslider. They have a very nice sound and I loved their songs. They have a Myspace page as well where you can listen to more songs from them. They are also making some of their mp3’s available for download here.

Jason has a nice review of them at Insomnia Radio as well.

So without further ado,? my favourite tune for this week is Manufactured Me from Kerbslider. Enjoy, and let me and/or them know if you liked their music.

Alternative PDF Reader: Foxit Reader

I am surprised it took me that long to find a pretty decent alternative PDF reader to replace Adobe Acrobat Reader. I often find myself frustrated with the bloatness of the Adobe reader even on my decent laptop. As Adobe announced their new Adobe Acrobat 8 product, I was switching to a more light-weight Foxit Reader.

Foxit Reader is a decent PDF viewer which feels very light and does not eat up much system resources. They recently came up with the 2.0 version. One nice thing that I liked about Foxit Reader is that it has a version which does not require any installation. You just click on the exe and go.

In addition to basic PDF viewing capabilities, the free version of the reader comes with editing features, like highlighting text in the PDF document which are present only in the professional version of the Acrobat. The free version of Foxit Reader lets you use those features but put a mark on the document that you see in the picture. This is gone if you buy the Foxit Reader Professioal license. For my purposes, this small mark on the papers that I edit does not really matter.

You can download the exe version in a zip file here.
