The official Microsoft Research demo
Eminem Slim Shady by Songsmith - remixed by me...

Microsoft can't stand it of others have more success then they have - no matter what sector. So the come up with ludicrous idea's like the Xbox, Zune and now Songsmith. Like GuitarHero, Rock Band and Garage Band it is supposed to make anyone a musician... The original promo is so bad - it starts to get funny. As are the bunch of parodies of classic songs with songsmith on youtube. I couldn't resist and made this version of Slim Shady of Eminem...

I am always amazed when newspaper people are still clinging to the idea that nothing will change and that readers will want to read news in a paper news format with journalists eternally. Almost 30 years ago everybody knew something would change... Marque (home computer owner)

Apples' new iLife 09 and iWork 09 are really awesome!. I really like the new iMovie features, Garageband tuturials, Remote Keynote with the iPhone and Places and Faces in iPhoto. It makes computers a whole lot more fun :-))

It took a couple of days before I knew what name to give to my new bike: But now I know it should be Black Camel.
Black because it is...huh... black! and camel because it can go miles and miles before it needs refueling and it can ride everywhere you want it to. :-)
