Actor / ~~short guy~~ writer Seth Green participated in a funny parody video to the tune of Katy Perry’s “California Girls”. I don’t think I need to say more:

WUT UP N00B!

Video game music

While on my travels for the Alienware Backpacking Challenge, I came across the “Play me, I’m yours” piano at St. Pauls cathedral in London. While waiting for my turn to play (our week 2 challenge was street performing) I was delighted when all of a sudden I started hearing Mario music. Followed by Tetris. Followed by Zelda.

Brilliant! I love how you can find ~~nerds like myself~~ talented gamers all over the globe. Anyway, after making an interview with the guy, we kept in touch and he’s now uploaded a bunch of his music on youtube.

For you guys who love yourself some killer video game music, check out this rendition of the Super Mario Overworld theme:

Like it? Feel free to check out the rest at Fabian Gulde.

Fluffy headphones for winter

Liefje — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 01:14:02 +0000

I don’t know about you but in winter a huge thing I hate about being outside here in Europe is that my ears really start to freeze! I’m not a huge fan of hats, especially those beanie-type ones that are usually worn in winter. Ear warmers were never really my thing either. They always look cute on the shelf then when you have them, they’re ridiculous.

But perhaps i’ve found an alternative which also allows me to listen to music at the same time! I recently read this post about some knit headphones:

But damn they’re fugly. And for $42, you can probably expect that the sound will not be good. But suggesting the headphones as a cover-up for cold ears is a great idea.

So I did a little more research and found that someone had invented earmuff-headphones already. You can find these on ebay for $14 but i’m not even sure that you’ll get your moneys worth with that price. The construction of these looks so poor for one. It’s like they stuck that horrible polyester fluff on a thin strap of plastic. You’d be better off just buying a pair of regular earmuffs and sticking earbuds in underneath.

Then I remembered the awesome skullcandy headphones:

These ones are more expensive than the other 2 but I can guess it’s probably worth it ($70 on Amazon). I had 2 Skull Candy products and for their price, the sound quality isn’t that shabby. The ear plugs are my favourite but they’re twice the price here in Europe than what I got them for in LA. Skullcandy have a lot of colourful designs which I always like. These probably will also keep your ears warmer cos it looks like the fluff is softer and theres a lot more padding around the ears to keep out the harsh winter winds! You’ll probably look like a dork in them, but you’d look like a dork in any of those headphones so you might as well have good quality music playing to drown out the sound of laughter.
