15/03/10 First live week of the blog

Finally the first week where I am actually writing the blog just after Twotube.




My first internet news today was a bit of shameless self promotion of this very blog. Why would now give you a link to it afterall you're are here, making this paragraph a bit pointless. So my first actual website is down there .......................... I <---Thats an awful attempt at an arrow............................v

After recently losing everything in my laptops crash, I have become obsessed with back ups; and thats what this website does for your twitter account. In case twitter disappears and you want to be able to keep your many 140 charcater pieces of wisdom.

Some funny twitter posts I've seen.


"apartmentRED- Roses are red violets are blue 4 8 15 16 23 42"



"Sarah Silverman- Diarrhea would be a beautiful name if it didn't mean diarrhea"

Ok well i can only think of that now but I swear I'll put up more before the next eclipse.

If you think you've taken some strange family photos;then have a look at this site. Here they are dedicated to finding the most awkward and funny family photos over the years. These are the kind of pictures you see and just know that some or most of the people in it either despise the pose they're make or each other. You can expect to see matching outfits in strange locations with weird faces on this site. Luckily I haven't had to endure the cringe factor involved in every photo here.

Was there any need to wear the outfits, like thats a daily thing. The couple on the right are funny somebodys mommy is very attached.

AAAAAAAAAGGGHHHHHHH! leave the cat alone. This guy wants to be a bond villian. Lasers are you serious.

Apart from eggular shaped chocolate; easter eggs are also hidden messages or features that can be found in films, Tv shows, Games, music and even some books. The site eeggs.com has a huge collection of user submitted easter eggs, across all formats. Shows like "The simpsons" for example when Homer sets up the website mrxswebpage.com to unveil springfields worst secrets, you can actually view that site online now. In films like "Zombieland", which Mike has covered, you can find extra features when using correct combinations in the special features menu.

Look carefully in this shot from Wall-e, thats Rex from toystory hiding between the skittles

Brilliant easter egg from the start of "Fight Club" Your told what to do if you can infact read it

1. I'm intelligent enough to know that Facebook won't start charging




CELEB GOSSSSSS!!!



David Schwimmer AKA Ross from "Friends" who is a serial divorcee is after getting engaged, except in real life. He is after proposing to his girlfriend of 3 yeas, photographer Zoe Buckman. He's now 43 years old and Zoe is only 24 making him old enough to be her father. They met in London in 2007 while he was filming Run Fatboy Run, and they've been together since.









Robert Pattinson has reportedly started travelling with five bodyguards. they were hired while he was filming new movie Remember Me. However, the Twilight star has allegedly decided to keep the bodyguards after he was almost pushed under a car by a group of fans in New York's Union Square. He was pushed off the sidewalk by the sheer number of fans who were trying to get close to him and fell against the door of a moving vehicle. If his clothing had got caught or a foot had gone under the car there's no doubt he would have been dragged along and seriously hurt. It was by pure grace and the quick thinking of his bodygaurds that he survived, the bodyguards reportedly managed to pull him back onto the pavement by grabbing his jacket. It looks like a lot of teenage girls will be very happy now with the very security gaurds who normally keep them away from their dream guy.
















Moby the dance star, not the whale, is asking his fans to make the video for his new single Wait For Me. he has launched a competition offering a lucky winner £3,333 for creating the best music promo to accompany the song. entries must be in before April 5th. Two runners up will receive £667.

He doesn't seem alone in this search though because woman I am a big fan of 'Wallis Bird' is also looking for people to send in videos to acompany any part of her upcoming track "An idea about Mary." All details can be found at ww.bit.ly/wallisvid

Weird wonderful news

After the bad winter the weather has been very tough on roads around Ireland and the world. But a village in Germany is after coming up with a great plan to get their potholes fixed. You can now sponser a pothole for €50 and 111 have already been bought. Since last week people have been able to buy a hole in Niederzimmern near Leipzig.In return the authorities will repair it, and "sponsor" it by putting a personal message on top.
You can choose the right pothole for you on their website www.niederzimmern.de


Weird headline: Japanese woman graduates from school at age of 91

01/03/10 March finally. more internet and random stuff.

---http://anagramsite.com/
On this site you can get cool anagrams of your name or anything where they jumble up the letters to make new words. What makes this good is that they have loads of examples of them like. Some of them are almost freaky. “the eyes= they see” “debit card= bad credit” “Clint Eastwood= Old west action” “William Shakespeare= I’ll make a wise phrase”. A less impressive one would be “pickle” which comes out as pelick.



---http://www.netdisaster.com/
Here you can download a software that lets you attack your desktop, so if your getting frustrated with what your doing or have a picture of someone you aren’t the fondest of, or even a website you can use this to destroy them in non permanent way. Here . This video shows it in action on the twotube site. Where I got to, attack it with meteors as well as committing the crime, of shaving Stephens hair off.



http://www.isthereazombieapocalypse.com
A very handy site if you ever wake up and have no connection to the outside world or news you can check this site and it will tell you if there is a Zombie apocalypse. At the moment it says “NO”


Thebabywebsite.com is after announcing a list of the most unfortunate names in Britain which include “Hazel Nutt”, ”Barry Cade “, “Chris Cross” and “Paige Turner” as well as some from America like “Carrie Oakey” and “Bill Board” I’m not going to say anything about how funny these names might seem in case there’s “Anette Curtain” out there.

Facebook
This week facebook has been annoying me and most of its users; with groups that you have to become a fan of, to see what they are about. Groups have been set up out of pure hatred for the evil groups so I just want to give them a mention.

4. I Hate That Little Triangle That The Windshield Wipers Don't Wash

3. The worst thing about sunday is knowing tomorrow is monday. (not too happy about this Twotube should make every monday great, haha.)

2 Why learn algebra? Finding X is only useful if you're a pirate!

1.  For a CRAZY adrenaline rush try having after eights at about half sevenish.




Everyone’s favourite doctor Hugh Laurie is set to appear on Meatloaf’s newest album. After Meatloaf was a guest star on House he said that he’d love to work it Laurie again. So he got him to play piano for his latest album. Hugh is a keen musician because he plays drums harmonica and saxophone. Not only that but he fronts a band called “Band from TV” this really is a band made up of some of tvs biggest stars. With Scott Grimes from ER and American Dad as well as James Denton AKA Mike Delphino from desperate housewives. And a few others from big American shows. They money they raise goes to different charities.




Apparently Ben Stiller is working on a sequel to one of my favourite films ever, “Zoolander” the film where he plays the “really really ridiculously good looking” male model Derek Zoolander. Now its been reported that that he is working on it along with his co star Justin Theroux, who wrote “Tropic Thunder” and “Iron Man 2” who is going to direct it. No one knows yet whether Owen Wilson will be back yet or not to play Hansel the arch enemy in the film; or if there will be as many celebrity cameo appearances as last time. All I know is good or bad I have to see it. I’m having to stop myself listing a load of quotes.



Simon Cowell is allegedly after getting engaged to [insert hard to pronounce name here (Mish-gone apparently)] Hussainy, the chief makeup artist on American Idol. The source of this is mainly speculation due to the enormous ring on stone on her finger. All the Britains Got Talent Personalities are saying he is a completely different person this season and is after getting less cattier and become nicer to contestants and judges alike. This is all happening amongst stories of Cowell recommending Cheryl Cole or maybe Tweedy now to split for her spouse.

Viralvideocharts.com


Has been around a long time, its created by a London based company called unruly media. On this website not only can you find out about what’s the latest in viral videos but you can track and see how their views change over time. Even if you look at the page now the videos that are rising in views will be the ones everyone will be talking about in a few weeks time. "Use it to get ahead in this present economy" (that is stolen from every advertising agency of the present).




www.bit.ly/twotubehole
This is a pretty random thing to do if your bored. As a child we all thought we could dig through the centre of the earth and end up in china. Well with this site you give your current location and it virtually does the digging to tell you where you would come out. If you do want to go to China you would have to start in Argentina. Now I did a very exact search for twotube studios but unfortunately Ireland ends up in the middle of the ocean south of New Zealand. So when you hear people say New Zealand is on the opposite side of the world you know they’re right.

This is one of those things we’ve all heard about, If you play a song backwards you can find a hidden meaning. This site for backmasking features a number of these songs along with the supposed lyrics. One or two song s are completely understandable like Pink Floyd’s. But some more modern songs like paparazzi where Gaga apparently confesses her love of satan or the Weird Al song that mocks the whole notion of these backwards songs with his contribution.






Have I funny picture for this weeks well no, but I'm going to look through my collection now.


I found one here it's here, but not very funny so I'll wait till I have a better one, until next time, later.

www.altuse.com
AltUse.com is the largest comprehensive resource for alternative use strategies in the world by enabling site visitors to search, post, rank, and share ideas for extending the lifecycle of everyday products. It is an internet destination where consumers discover valuable reuse and recycle strategies

· The site also features a system which rates each alternative use submitted based on voting by registered site visitors. This enables a simple comparison of the functional value of a particular AltUse verses other AltUses. For example, an AltUse with a score of four stars is regarded as superior to an AltUse with a score of three stars.


· AltUse.com is the primary venue for the promotion of alternative uses for commercial products on the internet. And it empowers average citizens to feel like they’re making a difference in the battle against climate change. It also motivates the discovery of new and clever ways to save money.

· Using email, blogger, Facebook, to name a few technologies, site visitors can share their AltUses with friends. For example the banana on this website; it lists 12 alternative uses for bananas. Like as a fertilizer, for treating insect bites and wart removal. One use they didn't have listed was in a novelty comedy video. Which Stephen managed to use it for in his video Banana Hands.
He wasn't the only one who made a Lady Gaga parody.
4 students from Rhode Island who make up Bink productions have made a video called badder romance. They have completely remade the Music video to Lady gagas bad romance using props from around their house. But this was actually tweeted by lady gaga herself. Its a complete remake of the video.




www.orb.com

What this means is that when your on holidays of just out for the day you can use the iPhone app or another computer to log into your s and stream whatever important files you might need. But aswell as that it means you can stream live video feed from a webcam once its connected to your computer.

1. Soccer stars for Haiti
This is basically a charity facebook group that was created to raise funds for Haiti. They want every professional footballer to give a days wages towards the relief fund. It all came from a news paper article written by Vincent Hogan of “The Irish Independent” already the German team has given 150,000euros, Diego Forlan has given a days wages and the beloved Thierry Henry has given 56,000 euros amongst others. There is huge interest in this group and they have over 16,000 members and growing




Twitter: First Tweet From Space
The most popular word of 2009 was ‘Twitter’ and on Saturday the very first Tweet direct from space was posted. Flight Engineer TJ Creamer posted from aboard Nasa Expedition 22 in the international space station. More than 20 thousand users followed creamer. Before they used to email their posts to ground control where they would be posted to accounts by the administrative team. They hope it will enhance crews time on long missions. NASA did make clear though that they would be under the same use guidelines as government officials on Earth.
