Personal Plane flies, folds, tows, swims, and beats SUVs on mileage - ICON A5 amphibious sportsplane completes first test flight
August 14th, 2008 by Bunny, under Aircraft. No Comments
Bunny Says.. Why the hell buy a new car when you can buy this for $140,000.
A compact, two-seat plane with folding wings that can be pulled behind a car on a trailer will premiere at an air show in Wisconsin next week in a development that heralds a new genre of flying machines designed to bring the power-boating experience to the sky. Developed by two Stanford business school graduates, Kirk Hawkins and Steen Strand, the ICON A5 is the latest and arguably coolest plane to take to the skies under a new classification that the Federal Aviation Administration calls light-sport aircraft.
Ranging from $60,000 for a build-it-yourself kit, to $140,000 for the innovative ICON A5, these two-seat planes let anyone with a valid state driver’s license and 20 hours of flying instruction make short flights for travel or pleasure.
What the hell a DIY model plane!!!

What Bit Torrent Sites Are The Best To Use?
August 12th, 2008 by Bunny, under Internet. No Comments
Bunny Says.. Bit Torrent sites are the way forward in 2008, but hurry up cause the governments will be closing them down soon enough. Download everything as fast as possible!
- Isohunt.com - If you want to use this tremendous Canadian site, you better use it while you can. Note: any torrent listed as “ISOhunt release” means that it is a file verified by the administrators…a nice feature to help you get authentic torrents, not fake files.)
- The Pirate Bay - by readership size, is the most popular torrent search site today. Pirate Bay also has an immense database of 600,000+ torrents, the single largest database available on the web.
- Torrentspy.com - March 24, 2008: Torrentspy has voluntarily closed its doors. Instead of conforming to the American court mandates to change their privacy policies, the Torrentspy team has opted instead to cease operations. A sad day for downloaders everywhere.
- Torrentscan.com - (a meta-search engine: Torrenscan is a search engine that searches other torrent search engines)
- Bitsoup - Bitsoup is a growing favorite amongst P2P downloaders. As the trend towards private torrent sharing continues, you will need to signup and join as a member to participate in the Bitsoup swarm.

The Truff Is Out There
June 10th, 2008 by dashiel, under Music News. No Comments
I had been wandering in a bit of a musical wasteland for a while. As my last petulant whine probably made obvious, there’s not a lot of juice for me in the pop orange, and it’s easy to get trapped listening to the same few albums in your collection, or to find yourself just scrolling back and forth through your music folder totally bored of everything.
What this means is the moments of pleasure when someone introduces me to a musician I (a) hadn’t even heard of, and (b) immediately love, are all the more glorious for their scarcity. I remember a close friend of mine at University (now scarily close to a decade ago) introduced me to a band called Ben and Jason that I loved who made four albums of whispering, heartfelt, gushing love songs and then faded into obscurity. I was at their final gig at the Jazz Cafe in Camden, where their small but loving group of fans packed in to hear them play, and it was one of the oddest experiences of my life, with literally everyone in the room singing along, half of them in tears (what me? no never honest), including the band, who had to leave the stage for a bit of a cry and a hug before coming back for an encore…
What brings all this to mind is the recommendation by a friend of mine that I look 
up Erik Truffaz, an awesomely complex Swiss born jazz trumpeter. Having ignored this for long enough (as I usually do with good advice) I finally got hold of a copy of Arkhangelsk - his latest album. It’s pretty similar stuff to The Cinematic Orchestra that I was on about the other day… Crystal clear production focusing on acoustic instruments in ideal or unusual ways - like trying to get as much breath and wind sound out of a trumpet, or just letting glockenspiel notes play out into a pool of reverb - dragging you into a reverie only to lift you up out of it, nodding your head as though you knew how to dance, with a drum and bass beat, or furrow your brow with a jaunty piano riff, only to soothe you back down with a key change and a vocal drop. Listening to it I was gripped with the dual enthusiasm to tell everyone else about it (including the person who told me about it, which was received with tired nods), and to be in his band. So far I’m halfway to fulfilling those two ambitions.
Super Collider…
June 10th, 2008 by james, under Music News. 3 Comments
Wow, just when ithought Radiohead were about to jack it all in and stop making music (as Radiohead) they turn my fears upside down with a performance of their new song ‘Super Collider’. Radiohead who have been touring this year as a follow up to their newest album release ’In Rainbows’ performed ‘Super Collider’ as an encore in Dublin. The song as played live, is a Yorke solo on the piano, however, we have seen this before and no doubt they will be experimenting with a full band performance, at least i, personally, would hope so.
The song combines well structured piano chords and melodies with the typical, genius vocals that are trademark Yorke, however, the song lacks some of the depth created by the whole band in the rest of their live set. Nonetheless, another triumph. Check it out for yourselves.
Creative Flair
June 9th, 2008 by dashiel, under Music News. 1 Comment
Nobody told me how quickly you stop being young… I’m 27 now, and I can’t listen to pop music, watch Channel 4 for more than 30 eyebrow raising seconds anymore without feeling mystified as to how anyone could find the overenthusiastic shouting entertaining. A line in one of the jingles on the jazz station on GTA 4 said it well for me (computer games are for grown ups these days), “music from the days when musicians could actually play their instruments, rather than just dance like strippers”. Not that I have anything against strippers.
Three examples that really stand out for me, and that I wish more people knew about so they’d be popular and get loads of money and more people would know about them and try to emulate them so the music industry skewed in the direction of actually creative music are (gasp…)
1. Tom Waits - He started out being a pretty traditional blues man, sat at the piano telling stories and playing music, the narrative blending into the music, as in the excellent album, ‘Invitation To The Blues’, which was recorded in front of a live audience. Since then he’s grown more and more experimental and unusual, a trend which for me peaked with his album ‘Rain Dogs’, something that was in my dad’s collection of tapes, and got a special place in my mind from being played a lot when I was a kid.
These days he’s erring on the side of pretentious, but I think that’s a minuscule price to pay for three decades of creativity from a brilliant lyricist and blender of genres.
2. Polar Bear - I’ve got to confess a bit of bias being a saxophonist, but these guys seem to be pretty approachable even by the non-jazzers I’ve introduced to them. Something about the catchiness of their riffs helps sugar-coat what could be the difficulty of their unusual time signatures and the glitchy noises they throw into their tracks. They’re playing on the South Bank in London this Thursday, if anyone feels like giving me a ticket, that would be fabulous…
3. The Cinematic Orchestra - This is a project of Ninja Tune’s J. Swinscoe (I think that’s spelled right), and they’ve made some of the most beautifully produced, rich and complex albums I’ve ever heard. I’ve been compulsively checking ebay to find a copy of Every Day on vinyl and complete my collection. This is my stoner music, James - moving between focusing on the sound of one lone oboe, or being brave enough to establish the background for a track with just the drum-kit before extrapolating it into a whole sonic landscape (sorry, cliche) of overlapping rhythm and harmony is not something I can imagine will happen on the inevitable solo album from the winner of American Idol…
I do appreciate that people don’t always want to listen to such challenging stuff, I don’t always have the energy for it, but when I want to listen to music, I like a little depth in there.
