Shit I like 1, (Series) Kettle Chips (Honey Barbecue)

2010-01-13T14:04:00.005Z

First off Id like to welcome you to the start of my new series 'Shit I like', I was gonna call it 'Stuff I like' but I though 'Shit I Like' is more suited to the personality of the writer but anyway thanks for reading.

So this series is going to highlight some of the not so tech things I like and more importantly think that you may also like with a focus on more of the day to day items that everyone can enjoy, so here we go.

Kettle Chips (or as you may call them crisps)

Honey Barbecue - hints of rich tomato, pepper and onion are drawn together with sweet honey to create a traditional barbecue recipe. Great with a barbecue in summer but delicious all year round.

Permium priced but rightly so these chips are by far the finest product of this kind on the market in my local area, are still pretty elusive too but can be picked up at Super Valu and Tesco or similar.

I was going to bore you with facts but I highly reccomend you try these out fo yourself.

Most expensive graphics card to hit the market...

2009-09-21T04:57:00.000+01:00

I know a few tech blogs will probably cover this but I am really taken back by the upcoming release of the ASUS ROG MARS which is going to be hitting the European market soon at a whopping €1250+, seriously you would need a complete animal of a rig to feed this beast, I'll take two.

There are a few items I would like to compose a short piece about but my recent efforts have not been too successful. I don't know how to express some of these thoughts or impressions but I am neither dwelling on them or letting them slip by without a second thought, I may be just a bit confused, after all it is nothing but mere projection of perception.

GTA Modding

2009-08-28T06:58:00.000+01:00

Much like the hundreds of hours I spent modding GTA III and enjoying the "scene", it seems to be taking off again so I plan to spend some time checking this out, now that the Internet has reached so many more people and now that I can download the mods (used to be on a 56K modem downloading car models)I hope this will be just as rewarding as I remember. Yes people are actually serious about it for most it is only another console game...

Need Help?

DIY

2009-08-03T09:26:00.000+01:00

Some thoughts on DIY: I have to say I enjoy it myself but can understand if someone would not be into it, you really need no skills just the desire to progress and create something. So go on if your thinking of that job round the house you've wanted to do or something you wanted to make, just try it, you always learn something.

Smoking

2009-08-01T12:17:00.001+01:00

I've come to realise as a breather(for now) that smoking drugs like nicotine via tobacco (you are a drug addict don't kid yourself) is a serious fuck you to the planet as a whole and to the human race especially your family, kids, whatever, but hey each to their own!

Just reflecting on my past considering smoking and I'm trying to figure out why I started smoking, it's a shame I can't remember I spent most my adultolescence addicted to nicotine.

Modern Man

2009-07-28T07:21:00.000+01:00

"I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond!

I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.

Behind the eight ball, ahead of the curve, ridin the wave, dodgin the bullet and pushin the envelope. I’m on-point, on-task, on-message and off drugs. I’ve got no need for coke and speed. I've got no urge to binge and purge. I’m in-the-moment, on-the-edge, over-the-top and under-the-radar. A high-concept, low-profile, medium-range ballistic missionary. A street-wise smart bomb. A top-gun bottom feeder. I wear power ties, I tell power lies, I take power naps and run victory laps. I’m a totally ongoing big-foot, slam-dunk, rainmaker with a pro-active outreach. A raging workaholic. A working rageaholic. Out of rehab and in denial!

I’ve got a personal trainer, a personal shopper, a personal assistant and a personal agenda. You can’t shut me up. You can’t dumb me down because I’m tireless and I’m wireless, I’m an alpha male on beta-blockers.

I’m a non-believer and an over-achiever, laid-back but fashion-forward. Up-front, down-home, low-rent, high-maintenance. Super-sized, long-lasting, high-definition, fast-acting, oven-ready and built-to-last! I’m a hands-on, foot-loose, knee-jerk head case pretty maturely post-traumatic and I’ve got a love-child that sends me hate mail.

But, I’m feeling, I’m caring, I’m healing, I’m sharing-- a supportive, bonding, nurturing primary care-giver. My output is down, but my income is up. I took a short position on the long bond and my revenue stream has its own cash-flow. I read junk mail, I eat junk food, I buy junk bonds and I watch trash sports! I’m gender specific, capital intensive, user-friendly and lactose intolerant.

I like rough sex. I like tough love. I use the “F” word in my emails and the software on my hard-drive is hardcore--no soft porn.

I bought a microwave at a mini-mall; I bought a mini-van at a mega-store. I eat fast-food in the slow lane. I’m toll-free, bite-sized, ready-to-wear and I come in all sizes. A fully-equipped, factory-authorized, hospital-tested, clinically-proven, scientifically- formulated medical miracle. I’ve been pre-wash, pre-cooked, pre-heated, pre-screened, pre-approved, pre-packaged, post-dated, freeze-dried, double-wrapped, vacuum-packed and, I have an unlimited broadband capacity.

I’m a rude dude, but I’m the real deal. Lean and mean! Cocked, locked and ready-to-rock. Rough, tough and hard to bluff. I take it slow, I go with the flow, I ride with the tide. I’ve got glide in my stride. Drivin and movin, sailin and spinin, jiving and groovin, wailin and winnin. I don’t snooze, so I don’t lose. I keep the pedal to the metal and the rubber on the road. I party hearty and lunch time is crunch time. I’m hangin in, there ain’t no doubt and I’m hangin tough, over and out!"

~George Carlin, a comedic genius and poet extraodinaire

As i read through this it seems so familiar I suppose it really is the effect society has on us now more than anything else but where am I supposed to squeeze in my personality when people expect you to behave in a certain way for them to accept you, over and out. Ivan

Made me laugh so hard today.

First seen it here

Just Antother Day In Xtra-vision

2009-07-25T08:00:00.000+01:00

Less than 2 years later the consortium sold out to Blockbuster. (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xtra-vision )

It's just a pity it is seen as an Irish run business. Don't you just hate the Late fees, almost like your being punished for having a busy life and being a customer at the same time.

So make a decision, or let them make it for you.

Fuck youtube is addictive, I love this public display and I love the other members of the public minding there own business. It really opens my eyes to how our actions are being dictated to us - i hope it has the same effect to you.

Throw Away Your Television

2009-07-05T07:32:00.000+01:00

Throw away your television
Time to make this clean decision
Master waits for its collision now
Its a repeat of a story told
Its a repeat and its getting old

Throw away your television
Make a break big intermission
Recreate your super vision now
Its a repeat of a story told
Its a repeat and its getting old

Renegades with fancy gauges
Slay the plague for its contagious
Pull the plug and take the stages
Throw away your television now

Throw away your television
Take the noose off your ambition
Reinvent your intuition now
Its a repeat of a story told
Its a repeat and its getting old

Throw away your television
Salivate to repetition
Levitate this ill condition now
Its a repeat

Credit for the above to Anthony Kiedis, thank you!

It's only money

2009-07-03T21:16:00.000+01:00

I heard something yesterday that hit home, it's a simular story to one you may be able to relate to.I'm not a viewer of moderated news and nearly all my information has come from online sources, so I get to choose what I want to gain knowledge about concerning the outside world. My Father must feel betrayed, conned, cheated, I can't even choose a word. The econimic downnturn just got personal. For the business of banking was put in front of the peoples money, the people who keep the banks in business. This does not read right as it is not right the business should be held responsible as that is the risk of business. We are a generation spent. It's only money.
