  • The Web to Go Non-Latin

    I was watching the news last night, and they began talking about the decision of the ICANN to implement non-Latin characters on domain names. What that means? In short, for us Asian entertainment fans, it means loads of Asian groups and musicians will be dishing more money to buy those domains for themselves.

    Since I’m listening to Lee Hyori’s albums at the moment, I’ll take her as example. Let’s pretend that M-Net Entertainment had bought LeeHyori.com and Lee-Hyori.com, net, co.kr, etc — which they didn’t, IDIOTS — well, now they will have to dish more cash to buy 이효리.com, 이효리.net, 이효리.co.kr, etc.

    Everyone is making a big fuzz on the news, and CNN is being particularly stupid about it wondering what Latin-alphabet-users like us will do to enter those address. The ICANN representative finally told it like it is, why would a person who CAN’T read Japanese, who CAN’T read Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Russian, etc would enter a website with a non-Latin URL?

    I, on the other hand, think that this decision is just to cash in some more bucks, this time on the other side of the world. After all, these other companies who already own their Latin URL will also have to buy their non-Latin version. I mean, it would be a revolution if this Non-Latin implementation would let me type 可口可乐.com and would automatically open the website of Coca Cola China, without the need to buy that domain in addition to pay for coca-cola.com.cn, right?

    Big money suckers!

  • Best of Emmys 2009 – Dr. Horrible Takes Over

    xD

    That was the moment for me. LOL I was expecting my Dr. Horrible mention xD
    Now if only someone could upload for embed a good version of the intro…
    I love it when he mentions Joan… Ms. Holloway xD

  • Pimp the Blog!

    From time to time, I link back to Julz blog, even though most her postings are now locked. What’s up with that, Julz? xD Anyway, I think it’s time to pimp blogs from time to time because, well… some blogs have simply good taste.

    So I’m here to PIMP murmure*

    murmure* is a Japanese blog in Japanese – don’t worry, you can still try to read it with Google translate – that talks about some different things, among those things are 3 mighty fine topics~~~

  • Collaborative Music!

    Woah, this is pretty nice xD
    it’s like a YouTube music console~~~

    Bb 2.0 Collaborative Music

    In Bb 2.0 is a collaborative music and spoken word project conceived by Darren Solomon from Science for Girls, and developed with contributions from users.

    The videos can be played simultaneously — the soundtracks will work together, and the mix can be adjusted with the individual volume sliders.

    Not really a music video… but will tag it as suck~ Check it out here.

  • It’s Mysterious Ways!

    The year, 2000… I think.

    Mysterious Ways - Season 1 - Title

    Anyway, for any fans of the shows, I just found the torrent for Mysterious Ways, that Canadian (probably shot on Vancouver) show with Adrian Pasdar (who is now married to Natalie Maines from the Dixie Chicks) with Rae Dawn Chong (who my mother refuses to believe is Chinese, LOL) and Alisen Down (playing the geeky and awkward Miranda) – by the by, I’m pretty sure I was a Declan/Miranda kinda shipper… ~ I’m telling you, it’s all about the geek.

    Also, don’t mind the title sequence. It’s a really REALLY bad title sequence, super 90’s and cheese~ xD

    Anyway, I’m posting the links to the torrents because there are no DVDs… I doubt there will be any releases since it’s such a tiny show… and Canadian. Canadian programming sucks when it comes to releasing on DVD.

    It’s a little over 15Gb for both seasons, but it’s worth it if you want the show. Remember, the show getting a DVD release it’s a long shot. Better download while you can. And if the torrent goes dead (and there are still no DVD releases), you can leave a message to request re-seed.

  • Top5 Online Time-Wasters

    You fuck around a lot. Don’t lie.
    Checking your e-mail instead of working,
    playing online games…
    I even know people who watched DVDs instead of working on their finals…
    or watched the stream of their favorite Korean variety show/novela~~~

    These are my top5 time wasters… lately.

    Lainey Gossip

    1. Of course it is. Lainey and her wit. Her mom stories crack me up~~~ In the end, I spend far too much time reading this. Oh, Lainey! I had a dream about your blog last night – LOL, I was reading your blog and I saw a post where you said that we should watch (500) Days of Summer together if I was in town. Buahaha, I remember that because I woke up and cursed out loud.

  • Bibi on Rong Chen Blog

    A new interview with Bibi came out… yesterday!
    Or actually… two days ago considering they’re like 14hrs ahead of me~

    Bibi Zhou @ Rong Chen Blog

    Very cute interview, where they look back a bit on her singing…
    Bibi’s mom is also there! And she’s got dimples!!! LOL
    And Bibi doing celebrity impersonations~~~ xD – She is very good, if she weren’t singing, she’ll be doing that, I bet. Also pointing out the difference between herself singing, and doing impersonations.

    Sorry, no subs… but still fun to watch.

  • Hibi no Neiro – SOUR’s Fans via webcam~

    I just ran into this video.

    O.O – it’s so great! So interesting, I want to see what each person does haha.
    And there’s an “Amy” in it!! xD ~~~It’s sort of an “interactive” video, I think. At least it got the fans of the band involved in more than “we need fans to show up in a concert-type-setting for the music video.” This seems like it was a lot of fun.

    And the music is pretty good as well, so I’m looking for their music. =D Any recommendation?

  • It’s Green Porno!!!

    Hmm… think it’s like National Geographic in the theater, and Isabella Rossellini in the shape of various different animals. Really… literally.

    Green Porno - Isabella Rossellini

    Isabella Rossellini’s Green Porno series (which I wasn’t aware of) has just released it’s 2nd season. You can watch the first and second season through the Sundance Channel, here.

    I particularly thought series2 was better, so that’s actually an improvement! Now, if only classes at school were that visually interesting~~~ *laughs*
