Well as they say, Tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la, la la la la! Etc.  Now then, just in case i’m too busy to remember to blog a Merry Christmas i have set this post to post itself on the 24th of December (i’m writing this on the 3rd December, don’t tell anyone). It should also tweet itself, yes even at Christmas i am nerdy.

I hope you all have a wonderful time and i hope we get some snow. If so i am going to build a snowman, oh who am i kidding, this is the UK and you just kow it will rain.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Two merry blue eyes
A very little nose
A long snowy beard
And cheeks like a rose
A round chubby man
A big bulging pack
Hurrah for Old Santa
We’re glad he’s come back!

Yes yes i know, another facelift! But i saw this theme and fell in love with it. I think it’s a bit more modern and funky than my last one. Seeing as i post mainly photo blogs and a few video ones i thought this would show them off a bit better. I can have my favourite pictures rotating in the above banner which is handy. Anyway, bear with me whilst i get everything up and running.

Well i have nothing specific that i want to write about so i’ll just type a load of old shit. (What do you mean what else is new)?

First of all, i think my love affair with Dannii Minogue is over. For weeks i have thought of her as Saint Danniius, the fair x-factor judge, the judge who is always pleasant and constructive. Naa, she still the same sour bitch she was when she threw that little strop on the This Morning show all those years ago (they showed some of her old music videos and she was seriously pissed off!) Anyway, i ended my affair with this tweet:

@DanniiMinogue What with the Snyde remarks – are you channelling Sharon Osbourne lately?

I thought technology was meant to make life easier for us? Clever computers and devices and so on to make life better? Well i switched my laptop on the other day and for no apparent reason it decided to tell me that the ‘apple mobile device service has stopped working‘. This is a service that runs in the background to check for when you plug in your iPod touch or iPhone. It’s stopped working and now i can no longer synch my iPod with iTunes. Marvellous. I have uninstalled iTunes and everything associated with it, reinstalled it, googled the problem, checked the drivers and nada.

What is spotify?
You install a little program on your pc that looks a little bit like iTunes. But unlike iTunes the songs aren’t on your hard drive, they are online. You create playlists of albums or fave tunes and you can access them on your PC, iPod/iPhone/Android Mobile Device. For example, i have several playlists set up and i can either listen on my pc, or grab my ipod and listen on that or if i’m out and i only have my phone on me, i can listen on there too. Any changes you make on one device will affect the others. Very clever!

Oh and although this massive library is online, you can actually download the tunes to your pc/ipod/phone in case you’re out of range of wifi or don’t want to eat up your mobile data plan. What you can’t do is have mp3 files that you can burn to a CD, not unless you buy the song. You can listen to radio and share friends playlists too.

Well, i finally made a decision and upgraded my phone. I couldn’t decide between a Blackberry Storm, an iPhone or HTC Hero. I was initially drawn to Blackberry Storm because i have a Blackberry Bold which is the best phone i’ve ever owned. I’ve never had a phone with such a strong signal and clear calls.

I decided against iPhone because i couldn’t get on with the keyboard (i was practising on my iPod touch) and *oo controversy* i actually think it’s starting to look a little dated! I have a feeling they will give it a cosmetic makeover though next year.

Anyhoo, what i ended up with was this, a HTC Hero!
