The Court Jester...

Latest breaking news... Heath Ledger is dead.
Just saw this link on Yahoo! front page: Heath Ledger dies
and my react was: What da...??!
He, dead at age 28, had starred in well-received movies such as The Patriot, Monster's Ball and the infamous Brokeback Mountain. The next big project that he had completed was as the role of The Joker in the forthcoming The Dark Knight!
Let us remember him as a patriot, a homosexual cowboy and a court jester gone wrong.

Heath Ledger as The Joker.

Gates, Guitars and Buckethead.

Not too bad a price for such an astounding notebook.

While searching for the Steve Job's keynote at Macworld 2008, I chanced upon the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) which was just held the week before. The highlight was watched Bill Gate's last keynote (retire from being full-time Microsoft employee). At the end of his keynote, he was challenged to a Guitar Hero game. His opponent brought on Kelly "TipperQueen" Law-Yone, a pro Guitar Hero gamer, while Mr. Gates brought on Slash from Velvet Revolver.

Searched around for how good is TipperQueen at Guitar Hero. She 5-starred Jordan on Expert Difficulty. Jordan, a special version of the song by Buckethead, is considered one of the most difficult songs ever in the Guitar Hero series. When I searched on YouTube for Jordan, found out that a player nicknamed HellAshes 100% FC'ed (FC = Full Combo) it twice, 2nd time with score more than 500K. Check out his video of it.





Now watch the creator of the song, Buckethead perform the original version live. He's got insane skillz.


Enjoy the pix, the vids and the song.

Hardly recognized...

Michael Bublé - Lost

"...'Cause you are not alone
And I am there with you
And we'll get lost together
Till the light comes pouring through
'Cause when you feel like you're done
And the darkness has won
Babe, you're not lost
When the world's crashing down
And you cannot bear to crawl
I said, baby, you're not lost..."

King of the Mountain, R.I.P.

Thus a sad moment in history... Sir Edmund P. Hillary, who was the first to scale Mount Everest, has died. He was 88.
Let us remember him for being atop of the world on the world's tallest peak and living to a ripe old age to tell the tale of being there 1st. *Besides probably the Nepalese of course.*

Sir Edmund P. Hillary of New Zealand (left) and Sardar Tenzing Norgay of Nepal (right), show the kit they wore when conquering the world's highest peak.
