Emergency Thought: 1,000,000

No, I didn't already hit one million views. It's the new song by Alexandra Stan and Carlprit. I heard it the day the music video was released on the Ultra Records Youtube channel. I found it when someone posted a bulletin about it. Why do I do my first Emergency Thought about it? Is it really good? Is it really bad? Let's answer that question.

Monday's Moment: Flight of the Conchords

Started in 1998, Flight of the Conchords is New Zealand's fifth most popular folk comedy duo, at least that's what they claim. This duo stars Jermaine Clement and Bret McKenzie, and they have gained a lot of popularity, with a BBC radio show and an HBO TV series both named after their band. Today, I'll look at the music side of their career, looking at their albums and the songs featured on the TV show. So, here are my thoughts on the music of Flight of the Conchords.

My Thoughts on Gentoo Linux

A while ago, I experimented with Gentoo Linux on my computer. I removed it though and put Arch Linux back on my computer. Even though I didn't have much time with it, I learned quite a bit.

I'll Drop the Plastic and Use the Vinyl

One thing I have noticed lately is that vinyl records are becoming popular again. I find this pretty interesting. Music CD's seem like they would be better in the year 2012, but maybe there is still something that makes people want to put a needle on a record.

Monday's Moment: Retsupurae

You did a Let's Play of a game. You upload to Youtube. You admit that the production qualities weren't the best ever, and maybe the commentary could be better, but you tried. Sometime later, you see a video with identical length and thumbnail. You click on it, and it is you're video, but there's extra people in it. They start cracking jokes and pointing out flaws. You ask yourself, "What is this?"

The answer to that question is a little think called Retsupurae. A group of people find sub-par Let's Plays or other video game related videos, and comment over them. In a way, they're like a modern day Mystery Science Theater 3000. Do these people know what there talking about? Can they really do better than the videos they comment over? Let's find out.

Sick with Gentoo Linux (But Not Sick of It)

Well, I intended to write Friday, but I ended up going to the doctor. Turns out I have infected sinuses and inflammation in my lungs. This kind of thing happens every year, so don't worry about me. Anyways, while getting sick, I've decided to get rid of Ubuntu and try something completely different. I've used Arch Linux before, but now I decided to go a step further and download Gentoo Linux. So far, it has been quite the undertaking.

A Foot in the Door

A couple of weeks ago, I bought a CD. It's called "A Foot in the Door", and it was by Pink Floyd. I'm a fan of Pink Floyd, so I decided to take a look at it. It turns out to be a greatest hits album. I don't have any of their music on CD, so that was why I got it. So today, we're going to take a look at it.

Monday's Moment: The Eye of Argon

Back on The Net Dwellers, I took a look at a couple of books. One was I, Libertine, a book that was a bestseller even though it didn't really exist. The other was Atlanta Nights, a terrible book meant to hoax publishing company Publish America. Today, I'll end this trilogy of books with The Eye of Argon by Jim Theis, one of the worst fantasy books in history. This book is well known by Science Fiction and Fantasy authors, and not only did the author live in my home state, but the story was also originally published in a newsletter that circulated in my region. So I have a lot of interest in this story. Let's take a look about how bad this really is.

Ubuntu Takes On the World (At Least Google and Apple)

I finally decided to catch up on some Linux related updates, and a few interesting things came up. One really interesting thing, in my mind at least, was the updates that Canonical, the company that makes the Linux operating system Ubuntu, made. I used Ubuntu for a while, stopped, then came back to it being a little different from what I remember, but I've gotten used to it now. There are three updates that I like to talk about today.

Welcome!

Welcome to A Moment in Thought. This is a project helping to take up some spare time. If you found me on The Net Dwellers, greetings from there. If you haven't been there, go check it out. I'll be doing exclusive blogs for both here and there so keep track on both sites.
Here, the concept is quite simple. I just take a moment to think about something, and blog about it. Usually, I'll also end on a question relating to the topic, and I want to engage the readers and hear your responses to it.
These are my thoughts and mine alone. They do not necessarily reflect the thoughts of Blogger, The Net Dwellers, or anyone else for that matter. This blog is for entertainment purposes only. Please give credit when using or quoting any post I make.
Now on that note, let's start blogging. If you like it, tell you're friends or link to me.
