Damn, that is some tasty shit, yo.
Some Pinot Noirs can be nasty. But this one is superb. Highly recommended, 5/5.

February 22nd, 2010Eggs Benedict ala scottg26
February 22nd, 2010I have just created the ultimate Eggs Benedict ever made:
 |
 |
Danny’s Real Wholemeal Garlic Pita Bread (toasted to perfection), streaky bacon (fried to perfection), 2 free range eggs (also fried to perfection), Kato Hollandaise sauce, and a fried tomato. Garnished with freshly ground black pepper. Followed by a side of steamed/boiled broccoli.
I give it 5/5 stars.
Gillette vs the world
February 22nd, 2010Although it is true that the Gillette Fusion razor is an over-priced piece of shit, it may be that Gillette’s Fusion Shaving Gel is even worse. The Fusion razor performed less tragically when used with King of Shaves oil and gel. Stay tuned for more details…
Samsung 2443
January 30th, 2010The Samsung 2443 24" TN LCD Monitor.
1920×1200. 5ms response time.
It’s actually pretty good.
vs the Dell 2407 WFP:
Well, 1:1 pixel mapping works for starters. Black levels are better, white levels are worse, and colours look a little washed out on the 2443. Of course, TN panels all have shit viewing angles and this one is no exception, the 2407 clearly comes out on top in that regard.
Nice ship design, Unicron
January 22nd, 2010Galvatron’s ship is rather stupid. Observe:
 |
 |
Galvatron is currently speaking to Cyclonus on the Bridge in the pictures above. Note that the air lock opens directly to space. Not really much of an airlock then, is it? Further, why do robotic beings that do not breathe need air at all, let alone an air lock?
If I were Unicron, I would have labeled this "air lock" as "EXIT" or simply "DOOR".
Gillette Update
January 22nd, 2010The Fusion did better after shaving two days in a row. It didn’t pull at all, it just cut. It is only good for short hair, and is still damn expensive.
Whangamata
January 16th, 2010Whangamata was awesome.
Gillette Fusion vs Gillette Sensor 3
January 16th, 2010Yesterday I thought I’d compare the Gillette Fusion to the Gillette Sensor 3. (The Sensor 3 is the disposable variant, as I can only seem to find blades for the Sensor Excel but no handles for sale in the supermarkets…)
Surely the 5 bladed Fusion would destroy the ancient and cheap Sensor 3?
 |
 |
The Sensor 3’s blades are further apart, where as the Fusion’s blades are very close together.
 |
 |
The Fusion has more weight (I presume because the Sensor 3 is a disposable), but feels more difficult to maneuver.
I shaved half my face with the Sensor 3 and the other with the Fusion. The Sensor 3 cut and glided smoothly, and the Fusion seemed to want to pull the hair out more than to cut it.
The end result looked the same, but the Sensor 3 got there a lot easier.
The Fusion is also a complete rip off in terms of price. The Sensor 3’s are less than half the price.
I’d wouldn’t recommend the Fusion to anyone, and I’d recommend the Sensor 3 to everyone.
Onkyo TX-SR507 and Sony Speakers
January 16th, 2010Yesterday I upgraded from a Panasonic home-theatre-in-a-box system to an Onkyo TX-SR507 Amp and Sony SA-V835ED 5.1 speakers. (Otherwise known as Sony "Pascal" speakers.)
The most important step is to run the Onkyo Audyssey auto-setup with the included microphone, and then make sure Audyssey Dynamic EQ is turned on. (mine was off by default, even though the manual says it should have been on by default…)
I had to play with the settings a little as it made the centre speaker too quiet but apart from that it’s pretty awesome. The surround sound is incredible, watching the Star Trek (2009) Blu-Ray (on the PS3).
