Along with looking generally awesome and just downright making the warir look freakishly brilliant at the same time, this Vulcan hooded top also appears to make a woman look like a man witch I guess is either a Vulcan mind game or an ante rape protection system.
I don’t know where it came from I found it on Reddit perhaps one of you can tell me. also warir and hoody isn’t a word according to Microsoft, Anyway just sharing.
I don't normally do reviews but I couldn’t find an honest one out there and seeing that I just got a new pair I thought it was a good idea to let you loyal readers have a look because I like them. and when I say honest I mean not just prizing the ass out of them.
The Look
They look good, well I think that they do, they have a 1980’s vibe witch I’m very much in to, you on the other hand might not, but I always like a bit of reminiscing now and then, the design is an easy classic. well because they have been in production since the 1980's obviously.
The Build
To be honest the ones I got felt a bit flimsy they use a lightly coated joined single core wire witch feels cheep, the metal expandable bars witch fold away nicely are quality.
The part that folds the ear buts away feel flimsy and hollow, butdo feel strong enough to last a long time.
They fold away nicely and come in a nice quality leather bag that is quite awesome, but no thought has gone in to the cable, an auto roller like the ones that you have on a portable mouse would be a nice touch.
The Sound
The sound over all is very nice not as nice as my Bose Quietcomfort 3 were but perform better on the louder songs which is nice, because louderness is good when my BlackBerry isn’t telling me that I should go see my doctor.
Overall
Most excellent I couldn’t afford a new set of Bose but for the £20 I payed I’m happy, so in short.
·They are good looking.
·They get louder.
·Sounding good at the same time.
·Could be better.
So now all I have to do is get some new tunes, Vanilla Ice I think here I come BitJunke.
Buying text books for university is pointless! I just wouldn't bother, there isn't a text book that you can’t find online for free, most lecturers will tell you not to even bother with the books, they are added in to the course so that the course gets past the examination bored, bunch of middle managers.
Anyway, lets do this thing;
Google.com
Your first stop for any question, Google indexes a massive part of the web and using Google advanced search operators you can find just about any book, also buy just typing in the ISBN or book title can also find good results.
Google Books
Google book search is Google’s way of bringing all literature to the world for free, with over a million titles it will more than likely have the book you need from classics to magazines. http://books.google.com/
EBook networking
Is a good online resource for finding them allusive PDF files, most are useless and I wouldn’t bother downloading but there is the odd gem and the site shouldn’t be over looked. http://www.ebooknetworking.net/
Free computer books
Is a gem of a site that I wouldn’t have got my A levels without, “over a million titles” if you are on a computer course or if you need to use a computer for your course the you probably can't do without this massive archive.
Wikibooks is a collection of open-content textbooks that anyone, including you, can edit, like its big brother Wikipedia it’s massive and a good place to start any project.http://wikibooks.org/
Scholar Google
I was going to save this for another post but when you do your thesis you are going to need Google Scholar, it indexes all of the known scientific papers and can be extremely useful. http://scholar.google.co.uk/
So you have sorted out all the paper work, got yourself some digs and enrolled with the University of your Choice “I know right lol”. And your nervous and your worried that your other class chums will know more then you, they undoubtedly will, but don’t worry you are all there to learn.
You have been using the web now for years, you think you know how to use it that you have learnt everything there is to know, but the world wide web is a lot bigger than that, there are so many resources out there that you may have even heard of but never understood, for this blog post I will focus on them with what you probably didn’t know about.
Google Advanced Operators, you have used Google before but there are things you don’t know Advanced Operators is probably one of them. They allow you to refine your searching among other things, read all about it hear. And remember Google before you speak.
Join a forum, you may be in a casual user forum, but there are better ones for instance I’m studying computer science, so I found an old school hacker site not one of them full of skids but full of UNIX hackers and coders “underground-systems.org”. Find one for yourself they are in all topics.
Get Stumbleupon, Stumbleupon is a social recommendation engine it is the best tool for casual research into any topic, other social bookmarking tools exist but Stumbleupon allows you to Stumble through all sorts of topics vary fast, I have probably learnt a lot form this tool.
Get organized use Thunderbird with a calendar extension Lightning it keeps all emails and events in one place and helps a lot, if you haven’t already got Firefox “Get Firefox” not IE ,Opera or Google chrome get Firefox there are so many user extensions that will help you like reed it later and bookmark organisers that you will not know what you did without it.
I have been asked what tips I could give to new undergrads at university, with more and more muggings and attacks on students what precautions should be taken, so I’m going to use the post to spread some good old fear uncertainty and doubt.
Students are perceived buy some as rich and elites, money is spent on student flats that was intended to be spend on regenerating the area and local economy, In short they all hate you.
Never wear an ID card under any circumstances, the ID card is like a beacon attracting the assailant to you. Lots of universities are enforcing the use of lanyards it is a government led initiative, it’s intended to protect the more vulnerable students, and it is a shame that it has the opposite effect of protecting students.
Get a muggers wallet, a mugger’s wallet is a wallet that you don’t mind losing, it should contain some change, some old reseats an ID card that you don’t mind losing library card etc. or perhaps an out of date credit card.
Tell no one you are a student, student areas are usually quite deprived areas, the local counsel usually use the students to regenerate a deprived area, how they think students with their complete lack of funds and general hygiene issues could regenerate an area, Either way they all hate you.
Do what a mugger says, there are ways of you getting the money back from the university and hole department set up to help you don’t risk your life over noting.
Well it’s been an eventful Weekend, not only have I had the most popular blog post so far on the hack o blog with over 16,000 unique visitors my two posts about 4Chan, one basically about a piece of cardboard, I have found my new favorite social bookmarking site, at the moment I mostly just used Stumbleupon, but I’m trying to find in to more social venues.
Reddit is my new favorite, the open source geek community driven web site, what I like about it, the community is engaging and bring good quality discussion to the table about a wide range of topics, most are liberal IT Geeks, but you do have the Geeket and the crazed nut job, I’m not 100% sure what I like about Reddit but I know I do. From the simple design to the developers speaking frank and telling the community exactly what is going on , and not fishing for moronic hart warming stores ( I’m looking at you Stumbleupon FaceBook) It’s a no frills approach to social bookmarking , I may be late in this game but I love it. My user-name is TheSkyNet so send me a message on Reddit.
