Blending the days, getting no sleep.

Just a quick one in the morning, all refreshed, albeit no sleep for 22 hours now. Just watched another 2 episodes of Veronica Mars, had a shower and thinking how my days are blending together. I had this on Thursday/Friday, came home at 7am after a really good party with british friends I met that night and woke up 11am the very same Friday. Yes, the same day, you know, I felt like my days have no boarders or something like that. Call it confused. Here we go again, I knew that if I went to sleep at 3am, I'd wake up at 6:30 all messed up and angry. So I've chosen to idle on Apple TV modding irc channel and buffer up some TV Shows into my brain. But I'm feeling like it's still Sunday. School will clear this up for me unfortunately, so I'm picking up a pair of Red Bulls on the gas station on my way to school. Or 2. You know, my frieds may have some early morning wakeup problems too ;)

Is this the end of iSights ?

They were the fist "serious" webcams out there. They started era of webcams which went onto the display top to make the "visual contact". Superior picture, autofocus and integrated noise canceling microphone. They were the best. When released and many years after. That was the happier part of their life.
They were pulled in Europe for ROHS, the were unavailable worldwide and disappeared from Apple store later on, leaving just accessories behind.

Now it's their final. I'm pretty sure we'll not see any new external iSight. Why ? Read the release notes for MacOS X 10.4.9 update.
Includes iChat support for USB Video Class webcams.
There were petitions and hacks to make USB cams work for you. Along with macam, people had a chance to use their 10$ USB webcams with iChat. I'd be happy to see this. But with announcement of new external iSight. Now it just looks like Apple has the "either get a computer with integrated camera, or we just don't care and leave the problem of camera up to you" pose.
So I'm happy I still have mine working. It's awesome and will stay like that. And in case it breaks - any tips for similar camera ? Really sensitive CCD chip, VGA resolution, autofocus and built-in microphone that works really nice ?

Try visiting www.apple.com/isight and you're redirected to the Apple Store with no iSight listed. Bye iSight, we'll all miss you.

Where kids go to play.

After scrolling my city up and down all around on Google Maps, I realized that some things in my life just don't change that much as it may seem. When I was a kid, 10-13 years ago, my mom often took me and my brother to the city centre, there was a nice playground, lot's of toys, a fountain. And a really nice ice-cream shop. My mom never bought more than 2 flavors, so I never actually tasted a lemon, chocolate and strawberry together. Thanks mom ;) A peaceful quite place right in the city centre.
Now let's see where I spend my happy times now. Walking distance is like 3 minutes from the ice-cream shop. I've already got my experience about drinking too much kinds of alcohol during the night. Cause weekend is the time when I want to kibosh, escape the boring week days. I just wanna play. Hang out with girls. Get healthily trashed and dance like mad...

And all I needed to do is cross the street. Places don't change themselves as much as you think. They do change you! Only if you will.
This way I'd like to thank my friend DJ Phunix for letting me in and discovering this awesome club. Duplex. The Place to be. One of the best clubs in Prague. At least all foreigners say so. Says hi to all drunk guys from Wales :P


How far away those actually are ?


and a little NSFW video from the MTV closing party with lexy and k-paul.
new owner is taking over. bye jaja, we'll miss you.
beware of the lady stripping, pretty nasty :P

Little treat.

In order to bump my style points by +10, I got an orange shuffle today. It's awesome. Light, clips onto everything, really stylish and plays music in a cool way. No display, no prediction which song will come after. No control. Life is random. Enjoy!
I'm pretty sure this is one of the must have things that every metrosexual should have. Why lug around with uncool, ugly Creative (hey, I never had one!) player. We love to wear stuff, right? Why not wear your music player? Be sure to pick a color that will suit the most stuff in your closet. And if you're the rainbow style guy who wears pretty much every color made, get more of those. Different colors. Dirty cheap. Go ahead!
