Yes indeed, it is all a matter of perspective, looking at the above picture, what you don’t realise is that each of those desktops are the same size!

Ok so that is bollocks, but I hope you are enjoying the view of my Nokia N97 + Asus EEE PC + Samsung 32” LCD. Each one has a very important part to play in my working set up at the moment, as you can see below…

All that tech, and still probably the most important thing is the note pad and pen… weird hey?

This is kind of bad, is Grand Theft Auto 4 on the Xbox 360. I have had the game since very close to when I bought the Xbox last year. I got stuck though, and haven’t played it for a long time. But recently I thought what the hell and got it out to see how it looked on the new TV.

Last weekend I finally bit the bullet so to speak and splashed out on a new TV. My existing one had been playing up for a little while (random flickering and blurry lines across the screen) so a change was certainly needed.

After a little research, and some advice from people here there and everywhere I settled myself on a Samsung LE32B530.

Have a read of its features here, I will put some live shots up later.

Saturday saw the first Doctor Who special of the year, titled Planet of the Dead. Well I thought it was good. And I really liked Michelle Ryan, I hope she gets more involved in future. The only sour point was her exit at the end, but that’s life I guess.

Simply put Helena Bonham Carter seems to get a very strange range of roles. In the very late Nineties she played Marla Singer in Fight Club, a suicidal messed up character who has no value to her life.

Since then she has hooked up with Tim Burton and worked on nearly all of his newer productions (usually along with Johnny Depp). Corpse Bride:

Sweeney Todd:

Not forgetting Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Alice in Wonderland which is currently filming.

There is a definite link here with the dark films and then Tim Burton’s dark style to everything he does. What is strange to me is her casting in kids films / programs, like Wallace and Gromit Curse of the Were-Rabbit:

Lots of Harry Potter action too… all in all we love you!

That’s what the TV is calling them at-least. I don’t understand how watching football on BBC is so much better than watching it on Sky and worlds better than Setanta. The commentators are generally worse, with the obvious exception of Andy Gray who needs to be shot, will probably do a separate post about him when I have the displeasure of having to listen to him next time.

Onto the actual game then, as I write this there is still another half an hour left (probably less by time I get around to publishing). Seems to me that either Sheffield Utd are pussies and are going down hurt for no reason or, as per a usual game with Middlesbrough, they are getting kicked left right and center. Another normal thing for a Middlesbrough game, Downing is a waste of space. His only tactic is to kick the ball past people then run into them to get a free kick and get the guy booked. Very impressed with Alves tonight, about time he looks fit and dangerous. If him and Mido get their attitude sorted its a very dangerous top line. Shame they will still have Wheater and Pogatez at the back, easily the ugliest, dirtiest and generally awful centre back combination in the league. Remembering that this league has Wes Brown in it….

Come on the Blades

My current addiction… It has taken me now 2 weeks to get from the very start of season 1, to where I am tonight, up-to-date with season 3. Thats episode 13, thats 57 episodes in 15 days. Oh dear, please let me go outside!

P.s. Bring on the next episode!

EASILY the coolest, most interesting and geniously brilliant channel ever to be devised. What more could you need on TV, other than repeats of BBC comedy programming. You can pretty much be assured to be able to see either Top Gear, Have I Got News For You, Who’s Line Is It Anyway, etc etc etc on at anytime.

This wonder, of course comes with a downside… adverts. A worthy trade? Put it this way, since setting freeview up a few weeks ago this is my most watched channel.

The name is also kick ass…
