Hooverspace v2

Yeah I know most designers despise Myspace with a passion but the truth of it is Virb hasn’t taken off like I had hoped and Facebook is pretty damn plain looking. And I still get people communicating with me through Myspace more than any other social networking sites. Sure it’s still a clunky piece of crap in the end but it’s still soaring in the popularity stakes.

So I figured it was time for a change on my page. Bring some colour into the mix, take away the black scheme and give it a more positive vibe. Have I succeeded or not? Let me know. I’d be interested to see what people think.

The Myspace Generation

Went along to the photoshoot for the unsigned bands playing at the Thank God Its Over music festival in Melbourne and Brisbane. This confirms the Myspace generation of young bands as can be seen clearly with the t-shirts (which were provided of course by Myspace). But we all know that Myspace doesn’t guarantee a record contract but at the moment, it’s as hot as ever.

- Jaden Smith is the new Karate Kid
  I LOVE the first film so this is sacrilege. Plus Jaden is only 10 years old! Why not just make a different movie altogether? Via comingsoon.

  Copy and paste. Flash in Safari? Yes please. They also need a pleasefixtheipodtouch.com because it should be able to take photos & use GPS like the iPhone. Via Pleasefixtheiphone

- Cracking Open the 4th Gen iPod Nano's
  I tried opening my 4th Gen 40GB old skool iPod a couple of years back and broke mine. Don't try this at home! Via CNET UK.
- Wall-E
  
  Ultimately charming and heart-warming Pixar effort is a sheer delight from start to finish. Homage's to 2001, E.T and all your favourite childhood Sci-Fi movies are plentiful and just to realise so much emotion from an animated robot that hardly talks throughout the entire movie is a feat in itself. The Blu-ray version will be stunning!
