educating bad drivers like a boss

dmbkiwilab — Sun, 10 Mar 2013 20:13:04 +0000

Bus driver Alexei “the punisher” Volkov educates Russian drivers who cut him off by ramming them from behind. All caught on his dashcam and uploaded to Youtube for the edification of the wider public. I think this is called distance learning at the school of hard knocks.

New Drummist: Frank Nilsson

Wow, this guy’s got some awesome chops, which he uses for good, rather than evil. The drumming could be described as “ghostly”.

humble bundle: gaming like a boss

dmbkiwilab — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 20:21:14 +0000

There is a new Humble Bundle (#5) of games out now. It includes up to 8 games, which are cross platform for Linux, Android, Mac and Windows. This is a fantastic way of distributing games, and allows indie developers to get their product out into the marketplace. It is also a clear indication to developers that Linux is a viable market for game development – if you scroll down to the bottom of the page, you will see that there are more Linux downloads than Mac, and that Linux downloaders pay the most for the games. Did I mention that you have to pay for the games? but you get to choose how much you pay. Go forth and game!

These Dutch (not sure that it matters that they are Dutch) cows are let out to pasture for the first time after wintering indoors. You can just feel the joy.

If I could drum like this, I’d be a happy, happy man. The perfect mix of chops, groove and musicality.

Found this guy when trawling Youtube. Got a nice sound and a nice groove, and some pretty quick singles.

essential skills lab – part 13: surviving a robot uprising

dmbkiwilab — Wed, 09 May 2012 20:08:07 +0000

Forget about the zombie apocolypse, forget about alien invasion. The real worry is skynet. With the recent announcements around the advancement of nano technology in computing, fully autonomous robots will be here any day now. Maybe if John Connor had known about that big red kill switch, we wouldn’t have had to endure the third Terminator movie.

kim dotcom trolls like a boss

This time, it’s not Dotcom on the receiving end of the red hot poker of authority, rather he’s giving some back. Some may say that this is inappropriate given the man is effectively under house arrest in respect of the MegaUpload debacle. However, since he’s technically – although in this instance not practically ([cough]destruction of a business with nothing more than a “megaCONSPIRACY”[/cough] – innocent until proven guilty, why not have some fun with some kiwi politicians?
