Thankyou Hollywood for ur crap!
So another busy day of work has lead the Wang to come to one conclusion. The Wang needs to be filthy rich to support our blogging habbits. That or work for a job that involve searching the web for funny videos to share to the Wang-viewers. But either way until that happens, the Wang will have to juggle the business world and the webbing world and all the time in the middle playing video games. So we get to the good juicy bits of the web that help us poor cubicle souls get through the day.
First of, since the long hours in the office, the Wang has been missing out on those nice nice hipster filled music events. But the recent discovery of this Live Journal community, Audiography has been a treasure trove of music. Each week, community members would pick a theme and then everyone and their mother will start posting songs. Great way to open ur mind and ears too all sotrt of music. Of course another great support for the recent web trend, yousendit.com. Which is a new online service that allows everyone to host a lot of files. Also on the music front, we get the 12 hottest Female guitar players EVAR! The Wang does have a hard spot for Ms. Phair.
Two interesting articles came to the Wang, the first related to the canceled shuttle launch today, is a article from Wired that has an cool interview with James Cameron on his views of space exploration.
The last time humans crossed space to a destination was the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. In the 32 years since, no man has seen, with his own eyes, Earth as that beautiful, solitary blue sphere, and - reality check - no woman has ever seen it at all. We've been only to low Earth orbit since 1972, and from that altitude of 220 miles, looking at the 7,900-mile-diameter Earth is like peering at a basketball with your cheek pressed against it. Yes, you'll see curvature, but you're not seeing the whole thing. We've spent 32 years "exploring space" in low Earth orbit. Exploring nothing. To stay in orbit you have to go 17,000 mph, or Mach 25. So we've spent three decades going nowhere fast.
It's taken people a long time to wake up to this fact, but we finally have. Now Exploration with a capital E is in the air again, in what will hopefully become some kind of renaissance. Eleven billion hits to NASA's Web site during the Spirit and Opportunity rovers' exploration of Mars is an astounding groundswell of support. NASA is still blinking in surprise, trying to figure out why people love the rovers yet care less about the construction of the International Space Station than a new interchange outside Cleveland. It is only now sinking in that one is exploration and the other is, well construction.
Second of the cool articles today is something the Wang read from LA Weekly a few days back, film critic for the Weekly, Nikki Finke wrote this cool article on 12 things she would do save the film industry this summer. Some good idea, the basics is to do the exact opposite of whats not working right now. U'd think an idea like that is simple, but then... this is hollywood we r talking about, i mean come on, Road house 2??!? And the news that Scarlet Johansson wanting to to do a nude scene for The Island but was rejected by Michael Bay. I mean whats is wrong with u Bay!? now u have offically gain the Wrath of Wang.
But on the otherend of hollywood, this Steve Martin movie, Shopgirl trailer does seem to have some hope in the indie genre.
And also on the movie front, the Thighmaster has given us one reason to watch the next Texas Chainsaw movie, Mrs Wang, Jordana Brewster will be in it. She dont know it yet, but after Rachel Weisz slummed her self to marry some other guy, Jordana is the Mrs Wang of choice.
The otherthings that has been plagueing the Wang's time is World of Warcraft. A recent update has sucked the Wang back into long hours of hard, sweat-filled, intense hours of PC gaming. But the recent we mention this time-sink is the introduction of PlayOn, a nice website from the Palo Alto Research Center, that is similar to Terra Nova, hvy into the Science of MMOs. But PlayOn seems to be focus specifically on data mining for WOW right now. The lastest bit of info is average hr per class to lvl. But i guess this is pretty useless and boring stuff if u dont play the game. But for those who do, this stuff is like the stats on the superbowl teams.
Cosplayers can now by the Chun Li breast Enhancement. So they too can slut it up and look like a Chinese martial art girl with big breasts.
Instead of the usualy video, we give u some Napolean Dynamite inspired, Dancing Geeks. Thanksyou Hollywood for ur trend setting ways.
