I’ve luckly been selected to attend the latest private movie screening by Exabytes – my web hoster. 

Themed with the catchy ‘Let’s Escape to Africa’ tagline, this edition of the private movie screening will feature the film Madagascar 2 – Escape to Africa.

If you’ve watched the first movie Madagascar, you’d remember the hilarious charaters in the animated movie. My favourites characters were King Julien of the lemurs and of course the wacky ‘escapist’ penguins.

So I’m definately looking forward to the movie screening where I hope to be further thrilled by Madagascar 2!

Exabytes, thank you.

FYI, any interested party who happens to be looking for a notebook cooling pad and a free 4GB thumbdrive thrown in to boot or possibly a new MP3 player and a 1GB memory card – well look no further than the upcoming PC Fair on this 1st to 3rd August (Friday – Saturday).

As per norm, local IT Magazine HWM and it’s sister magazine GameAxis are giving away this cool gifts and others for the first 100 subscribers on each day. (See posters below)

That’s right.

The subscription promotion is only valid for the FIRST 100 subscribers! You snooze, you lose!

Additionally the first 20 subscribers per day for HWM will also be getting their lucky paws onto a copy of Kingsoft Office 2007.

Moreover the first 30 subscribers per day for GameAxis will receive a limited edition of the Cabal Online boxset! Woot!

Judging from my past experiences, anyone keen on getting their hands on the promotional items best make sure they are there bright and early each morning as the queue to the 100th spot can literarily be snapped up in the opening 30 minutes of the fair!

Good luck!

Leave to to McFarlane (of Spawn fame) to take a once seemingly classic story and re-conceptualize it into his own version of of the story.

The Armchair Empire dubs it as ‘The Twisted Land of Oz‘, and I quote:

In McFarlane’s version, Dorothy is the innocent school girl with a not-so-innocent Victorian bondage fetish. In a cool addition, McFarlane has included a six-part story on the card back of each figure. It’s not until the last “Chapter” — included with the Wizard — that any of the figures make sense. The first part of the story gives a quick snippet into Dorothy’s persona as it might exist in 2003, and not the Dustbowl of 1930’s Kansas.

I admit, from my oh so very little knowledge of McFarlane’s genius, that as far as initial reactions go most people, myself included, might find this adaption to be offensive. Just imagine one of our childhood stories made into this:

However, when taken with a pinch of salt, you do have to admit from a certain artistic point of view, again my own opinion, this adaption is indeed quite well executed – if a bit on the scary/bondage side of things. Yes folks, Dorothy and the entire series is definitely not for the squeamish nor the easily offended, but it does highlight the genius and creativity that has been the driving success behind Spawn

One long time dream for the Star Wars most definitely has to be for a real space mission incorporating some ‘aspect‘ of Star Wars. Though actually putting a Star Wars character up in real space, might still be a little bit too much to ask, it would seem that sending up the original Luke Skywalker original Jedi Lightsaber is now a reality.

That’s right you Star Wars fans, old Luke’s saber will be going up to space for a 6 million mile trip to the International Space Station before it’s return trip to Earth. According to StarWarsBlog:

Luke Skywalker’s original Jedi lightsaber makes its way into space (for real) with NASA astronauts on the space shuttle Discovery in October. To commemorate the historic event, Star Wars characters visited the Oakland International Airport where Chewbacca handed the lightsaber over to NASA’s Space Center Houston during a special ceremony on Aug. 28, 2007.

Check out the blog for more details and head on to the Official Star Wars Flicker Blog for pictures galore.

My favourite picture is the one with the 2 Stormtroopers have a ride on the golf-cart-thing-a-magi. Guess their ‘Speeder Bikes’ must be in the Imperial garage for the annual maintainance.

1. Afflicted with that obnoxious problem of having too great of an ego, … or
2. The embodiment of that state of total ‘ego less’-ness that the rest of us poor mortal wretches can only hope to attain …

Then boy have I got something for you.

Head on over to egoSurf and prepare yourself to bask in the self satisfying knowledge that you are indeed somebody. Either that or face the bleakness of finally being proven that you are indeed a nobody. That’s right it’s a total ego trip and there are no guarantees on how you will come out of this little test.

By now, judging by my smug undertones you might already have guessed that this blogger has run the bloody gauntlet and survived to brag about it. Though I am not a famous person such as Bill Gates nor even close to the level that of local blog-celebrity Kenny Sia, still I manage to walk away with decent enough scores. Be forewarned, do not be surprised with your score as I’ve seen that people can actually go through the test and obtain a big fat ZERO – nada, zilch! I kid you not.

Anyhow do feast your eyes on my scores below:

So go ahead and make today the day thats all about YOU and ONLY you. Pamper yourself with egoSurf – if you dare. Go ahead, I won’t tell on you.

Warning: This Ego test can lead to the swelling of your pride and in worst case scenarios, it can even lead to depression. Don't say I didn't warn you.

So as I was doing my usual rounds of surfing lo and behold I came across a treasure trove of great looking and cool wallpapers located here. All available for free.

So now I have a whole new bunch of wallpapers to fancy up my work desktop. Delicious.

This unexpected find has sure brightened up prospects for the ‘Week of Trouble‘ here at work.
