Golden Eggs

This is so wacky that I couldn’t stop saying some of their catchphrases such as ‘necessary… necessary… necessary…’ The World of GOLDEN EGGS or ザ・ワールド・オブ・ゴールデン・エッグス (Japanese) is an anime series produced by PLUS heads inc. which was featured on MTV Japan. Its quirky characters quickly became familiar to our hearts. And if you add a dash of some black homour into it, it turns into a 'classic'. Man, it's seriously hilarious! Like South Park and The Simpsons, it fits in this genre. The DVD became a bestseller overnight and there’s a Wii game/a Nintendo DS game named after it. The new series has English subtitles too which can only mean one thing and that is 'global domination'. I think the West will definitely embrace it.

And one last thing, only one actor did all the voices of the characters. How amazing is that?

Hey boy, eBoy

I made a mistake reflecting works of eBoy being British. At first glance, I presumed they were. But in a way it’s still a compliment as their work is what I can described as a simplified mashed-version of LEGO, the seventies, arcade games, Rubix cube and (anything that looks visually) hand-made 3D.

They started off basic and expressed their masterpieces on computer screens. Now they are branching out to posters, iPhone skins and even toys. And why not milk it, it's fab! Their work may look complex to some but it touches people’s hearts and it reminds them of their childhood (it does for me). Also, they add humour to their work which is very appealing. You can see it for yourself at Since.Upian, Paris till 18th July.

A singing and dancing spider

Yep, it’s Spidey with a twist. When I first heard of this rave, I was laughing my head off. Can you imagine a superhero crooning and boogieing down to the rescue or typically, to save a damsel, Mary Jane, in distress? No. Well, Julie Taymor, notably the person behind the musical sensation The Lion King, thinks it’s a wicked idea. And Bono, who is doing the score for the musical, seconds the motion.

The pleasing title is Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark and tickets are on sale from 12th September. The preview kicks off on 15th February 2010 in Broadway, NYC. I think it’s very daring. It’ll be contagious and a thrill to watch. It has the potential to enter the realm of classics.

Let's polarize it!

Forget the quibble about the poor quality issue with Polarize application for your iPhones because there isn’t one. Full stop! Firstly, it’s a freebie. So why whinge at something you get for nothing? Did you pay for it? No! Secondly, do you like (or did you like) using Polaroid? Or a least appreciate its prints. If yes, then you’ll love this application. You can take pictures directly from your iPhone and it'll polarized it automatically, or select one pic from your camera roll or files like I did and then polarize it. The effects, as you can see, are fab and it’ll definitely make you chill out at home and polarize everything. You can even join the Polarize community on Flickr if you really wanna be ultra-slack. Enjoy!

This is the ultimate of slackness. slackers' dojo welcomes the iPhone 3G 8Gb and 16Gb.

Softbank is practically giving these away. The iPhone 3G 8Gb is free and the iPhone 3G 16GB is slashed to a third of its price. Of course, it's for a limited time and you'll need to subscribe with one of their tariffs in their terms but those are also a good 30% off.

I must admit I fell in love at first sight especially with the idea of a touch screen. Ever since I was a child, I would imagine the world to be, let say, digitally interactive. And here's another step to it and as a plus, it delivers heaps more.

Alright, I'm a fan. I'm Mac guy who actually no longer uses a Mac. But I’m loving my new toy. It’s so fun! As per usual, Apple has succeeded in making the design user-friendly, ergonomic and quite simply very appealing. It’s beautifully made and functional. Almost purrfect!

Although, I must admit it has its limitations e.g. no cut, copy and paste function, less options on some applications and the battery life runs out simply horrendously quick. But you can almost forgive Apple for all these quibbles. Just sit back and look at what you have. You feel like you are one of the chosen ones so to speak. On the contrary, new features are added and developed with the new iPhone OS 3.0 software which is yet to be released. Meanwhile, I need to practice to keep on tapping. It’s so additively fun!
