Important Announcements Beneficial to Your Happiness and Survival

As my first act as sometime co-contributor to this blog, I wish to make the following announcements:

1. Spies ARE among us, but they're not as cool as you might think.

2. Portuguese Water Dogs are also among us, and they are FAR COOLER than you might think.

Take Girella for example. Like our beloved Simon, she is a lover of music. Yet unlike our beloved Simon, she has been photographed with over 80 of her favourite bands including; Deep Purple, Fun Lovin' Criminals, Hot Hot Heat, The Howling Bells, Kaiser Chiefs, Nada Surf, Pennywise, Soulwax and The White Buffalo.

Girella with José González

What is the moral of this post, you ask?
When you realise that dogs are more successful at life than you, you can at least be thankful that you are not (yet) an old woman. Or a spy. Spies are lame.

And Introducing...

...Leanne!
What with all the interesting things found in life and on the Internet, I feel that to try and report on it all just isn't possible by myself.
So, after seeing examples of cool things that Leanne has come across, I have decided to add her as an author to my blog.
So she will now post interesting things she comes across on the Internet, and after email is set up on her phone, she will also be able to post interesting things while out in the world (probably photos, too, if Telstra allows attachments to her emails). She will also add a different perspective to events that we have attended, and report on any that she attended.
So, without further ado, I present...
LEANNE!

A promo video for the Microsoft Surface computer.
Other videos also here, and here.
Pretty cool idea, but the payment thing seems a bit unnecessary when you can just get your waiter/ess to divvy the bill up for you.
I think the best feature is the ability to place your camera on the surface and have it transfer files over, and being able to share stuff with people just by placing the devices on the table.
Of course, why would you want to share any music though, when you can only listen to it for three days.

Thanks to Mickey for the link.

Man shot dead for bad karaoke
Crazy. What the hell?

"The popular Frank Sinatra song "My Way" has been taken off many karaoke bars in Manila after it was found to be the cause of fights and even deaths when patrons sang out of tune."

Wow.
Thanks to Tristan for this link.

Sleepy Driver

This taxi driver appears to be tired. He seems like he wants to nod off. He's weaving between lanes, and his head is bobbing.
If he falls asleep and kills us, I want people to know that I love Leanne very much.
I'm also very appreciative of my friends. They were (are) all something very special.
Thank you.

Listening to: 702am - the radio station that the cabbie turned on to keep him awake.

Old Guy Singing in the Loo

He bust it out. He sung while he peed. He then ruined the whole "cute old guy" thing by spitting into the urinal.
Crazy old people.
