• Google Limits video access in Canada!?
  
  When trying to purchase CSI episodes from google video, I received this message:
  
  "We're sorry, but this video is not available in your country."

After watching Scrubs episode 5.05 “My New God”… I felt I HAD to know who was the composer or author of the music played while the Janitor was giving some ‘evil eye’ to J.D..

So after downloading the episode, trying out tunatic (which works great, but this was an underground song… so I got no results), googling a lot, giving up hope on cyber-humanity, and finally out of a hunch I went to the ’source’ and found the music section… I decided to spare the trouble to anyone that thought the music was really inspiring and powerful.

The track is called ‘Koyaanisqatsi’ and is part of the sountrack to the movie Koyaanisqatsi (Life Out of Balance), which Philip Glass scored. I advise you also read this, regarding the 1982 film. I also have an entry regarding ‘the finding’ on the last.fm journal.

Well, anyhow… I decided to trim the important part, and upload it to Google Video. So, to those of you who haven’t seen the episode, I advice you read a summary…

If you’re too lazy to read that, I’ll explain it in a sentence or two… The Janitor had asked J.D. to help him move; J.D. quickly refused to help out. The resentful Janitor then proceeded to give J.D. some ‘evil eye’. Here is the clip:

clip will go here, as soon as Google Video approves.

I then tried to find a store that had the said mp3, but the few stores I found were either 404s or didn’t seem secure enough (I use PayPal for now, but can’t wait until Google Wallet comes out). The mp3 can be found somewhere around the web (look for it) for free… but I read a review which points out that for a better quality and uncut sountrack, you should buy the DVD.

Just dugg this, and found out I’m 32% eeeeevil… but I guess they haven’t checked on my last.fm music section. LOL.

Anyhow, I feel I’m 99% evil (and 67% bullshit)…

• TorPark: Anonymous browsing on a USB drive
  
  If you're serious about online privacy, you probably already anonymize your browsing sessions at home, but what about when you sit down at an Internet cafe or public terminal where your decidedly non-anonymous use could be tracked back to you? The solution, of course, is to take your privacy with you, and that's what TorPark is for

• The Ariel Atom 2, the fastest car on 4 wheels.
  
  This is the Ariel Atom 2, the 2nd fastest street car in the world (next to the Enzo Ferrari). And it doesnt even have any body work. With 300 HP and only weighing in at 500 KG, its got the best HP to weight ratio for any street car. "It'll go from 0-60 in 3.9 seconds, if you can shift fast enough."
  And it only costs $80 000!!!!
