Flowers have been for centuries one of the richest means of expressing one’s feelings. Their never ending colors, perfumes, shapes and touch, make them a special way to keep in contact with the best that nature has to offer us, as well as to propitiate pleasant environments – either at home, parties, formal events and others – and of course, pleasant experiences.
I was happy to find out that now there are also ways to find my favorite flower delivery services on the internet. It seems some people are betting on making this possible, as companies like Martha Stewart Flowers are already take this business seriously.
At shops like Martha Stewart Flowers, all kinds of flowers are available – roses for passion, exotic orchids, and many others – and shipped worldwide. It is interesting to notice they make available fresh flowers, and ranging from small to large quantities. And of course, needless to say all kinds of flower arrangements can be provided, according to the clients’ demands and specifications.
These kind of companies are presenting a service aiming to please virtually any particular taste, and delivering fresh, colorful flowers, and by means of a practical online shop, through which one can find exactly the kind of flowers or plants one is looking for.
Hey there butter fingers, so you think you’re a mean guitarist capable of rocking the crowds? Yeah, and I bet you think you’re real fast, and a virtuoso to boot. Well sorry to put you down, but today I’ll show you a video that’ll be likely to put your perspective in check. Ladies and gentlemen, to your entertainment, here’s the fastest guitar player on earth:
Today a friend of mine introduced me to a new sitcom which I found quite innovative and interesting, so I thought I’d post an episode I’ve found in google video, for your personal enjoyment. Just as word of caution, I must say this is a britcom (british situation comedy), however I’ll assure you no grains of salt are needed to go along with it. The Mighty Boosh is an intriguing piece of post-modernist entertainment which focuses on the adventures of two zoo-keeper friends who keep getting involved in the most bizarre scenarios. Watch this with an open mind, and maybe you’ll discover a new comedy flavor… one you might actually enjoy!
I’m usually not a big fan of silly comedies, but today I’ve been introduced to this movie that I actually found entertainment, even though it falls in the “moronic teen comedy” niche. Labels aside, it’s actually a refreshing yet brainless comedy about life, death and all the good and bad things in between. Well, actually it’s merely about two friends who lose their car keys, ans subsequently engage in the most unexpected and bizarre adventures this side of the solar system. I’ll provide some clips of two remarkably moronic scenes that captured my attention. If you enjoy watching this selection, chances are you’ll enjoy the movie as well.
Zion is the name of a region in the land of Israel, and this term is often used to represent a promised land which is under divine protection – it’s the fabled land of milk and honey where the Israelian people was directed to during the Exodus. There are several artists who evoke the image of Zion with the intention of conveynd their desire for a better place, a well as an escape from the world of negativity and calamity we live at. The following song is called “Road to Zion”, the artist is no other than Damian Marley, the youngest male son to the legendary Bob Marley. This song is not only pleasant to listen, but it’s also rather interesting from an aesthethic standpoint. During the video, Damian roams around the streets strolling a shop cart and distributing cards featuring the Lion of Judah (an image often used to symbolize Jesus), thus providing redemption to the people that care to listen to his positive message. I’m aware this is just silly entertainment, but I really wish there was a road to Zion; all things considered, there’s no wrong in dreaming, wouldn’t you agree?

Sometimes I can’t help but feel helpless
I’m having daymares in daytime
Wide awake try to relate
This can’t be happening like I’m in a dream while I’m walkin,
I have played many flash games in my day, and the one that strikes me as the most addicting piece of entertainment must definately be one of the first ever flash game I’ve played: possibly even more so that “The Impossible Quiz“. Ladies and gentleman, today’s slice will provide you with… Super Kick-ups!
The game concept is incredibly simple; all you need to do is pretend you’re kicking up a football, trying to keep it on the air. Like most addicting games there are, the game premise sounds deceptively simple, to the point it doesn’t account for that “factor x”, that in turn causes the “just one more play” effect.
The game mechanics are superb, and this is one of the finest versions of the game I’ve found thus far: the ball is enbibed with quite realistic real-world physics – depending on the spot you click, it will go towards a different direction, and as it bounces around and you try to keep it in balance, you really get the feeling of gravity. This is great for anyone who enjoys soccer, juggling, or straight out having fun. Recommended for those idle coffee breaks where you get that gaming feeling! You know what I’m talking about. Bookmark this page for future reference, and make sure to post your record.
My own personal record in kick-ups is currently:23 (I swear, I used to be able to go past the 100′s… I think this mouse i’m using right now is not so good >_<)
” A shadow falls over ancient lands. Its people grow eccentric and forgetful. Hidden enchantments prevent safe passage along familiar paths. The four kingdoms are on the verge of war.
Only the magic of the Sun’s map can undo this treachery. And this map is held by a wandering Fool who seeks his fortune”.
Like puzzles? Like stories of mystical quality? Enjoy tarot-bound storybook references? Then today I’ve got the perfect entertainment for you. This fool’s errand is no goose chase, rather it’s an amazing puzzle collection in narrative guise, that won several awards in 1987 when it was released, as well as a faithfull legion of fans. The plot revolves around the Fool, who’s given a very important task of saving the Four Kingdoms from destroying each other. In order to do so, you’ll have to solve a wide range of puzzles, from scramble soups to jigsaws, riddles and tricks and a variety of brain teasers that will leave the most self-assured players truly baffled. If you don’t know this one, there’s no time to miss. Just dash towards the Home of the Underdogs (a great resource to get old “abandonware” games, mind you) , and start playing! Beware tough… your productivity is likely to plummet for a while.
This is quite possibly one of the most clever flash games out there, and it’s enormously addictive, even for people who don’t like to watch “Who wants to be a millionarie” on a daily basis. I, for one, despise quiz shows, but this little game is truly engaging and innovative. And while it’s not really impossible, it’s definately taxing on the nerves, because you have to start over everytime you lose. If you’re looking for a brief entertainment fix, this here is perfect for you:
This is one of my favorite on-line comics, and one of the few entertainment sites that I check regularly. While it focuses the cartoon misadventures of two archetypical computer/videogame geeks, it does provide the ocasional pearl of ingenious insight.
Tycho’s writing is engaging and provocative, and Gabe’s drawings are always fresh and cartoony. Go ahead and check it out, and maybe you’ll catch them in a good day and become a regular as well. Cheers!
A few years back, an unseemly match featuring a specific brand of chewable drops and a hugely known brand of diet soda was formed, deep within the vast cyberspace boundaries. All of a sudden, putting Diet Coke and Mentos together was all the rage, and dozens of videos quickly scoured the Internet. Within such videos, several groups of individuals – with apparently nothing better to do – joined together in documenting the caustic properties of this god-forbidden combination. During this time, a glorious piece of Internet lore was woven, and this is something that goes without saying.
Well today, we remember! While many angles were covered during this highschool-like chemistry rush, the video I’m about to display is doubtlessly a paramount, as far as production quality and sheer entertainment value were concerned. If you doubt my words, you need only trust your eyes:
There are many people out there – such as myself – who have been introduced to the world of computing via the massively popular micro-computer from the eighties, the ZX spectrum. Who doesn’t recall the tedious tape loading times, the psychadelic sidebars and that loveable screeching noise? Who can’t relate to the feeling of waiting (sometimes up to) several minutes to play those glorious 8-bit videogame hits which offered unrivaled mistique and entertainment?
Well, for anyone up to relive such warm childhood memories, I’ve just found the perfect website! Within http://www.zxspectrum.net/, you’ll be able to play some of the most popular spectrum games ever – such as turmoil, manic miner and chuckie egg! – all sorted by year of production. No downloads necessary! This cool website lets you choose the game from a list and (since the games are so small, when compared to moder-day standards), start playing immediately!
Also, if you’re looking for a comprehensive website focusing the ZX spectrum, including all games that were ever published and much information, check out http://www.worldofspectrum.org/ instead. This website only provides the ROM files, so you’ll also need to download an emulator (there are emulators available for pretty much any machine you can think of, from PC and MAC to X-BOX, PS2, PSP and NDS… even cell phones. If you’re interested in learning more about that, just write a note and I’ll post a follow-up, soon enough.
Here’s a nice video collage of spectrum games that I’ve found:

If you miss those golden days from your youth when you used to spend countless hours delving in the sandbox, ceaselessly experimenting with the objects around you and getting to know life, I’ve got a great advice for you: go out right this moment, take off your shoes and jump around until your cheeks blush, and get over your self-imopsed adult act. I mean, just because you’ve actually grown-up, doesn’t mean you’re actually expected to act as such *all* the time!
Now, if you just want to indulge a little experimentation in physics using your computer without getting your hands (or feet) dirty, Phun is the thing for you. This software was developed by a computer science student, with the aim of creating “a playground where people can be creative”. According to the author, § Read the rest of this entry…

“Twenty-Five Things It Took Me Over 50 Years To Learn” by Dave Barry
The badness of a movie is directly proportional to the number of helicopters in it.
You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight-saving time.
People who feel the need to tell you that they have an excellent sense of humor are telling you that they have no sense of humor.
The most valuable function performed by the federal government is entertainment.
You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
If you look up the definition of “genius” in the dictionary, it will likely relate with being able to achieve extraordinary results out of something extraordinarily simple. Well, as far as mind-blowing results which stem from a relatively plain concept, the following video provides a paramount far higher than anything I’ve seen in a long time. As far as technology an entertainment goes, this is probably as revolutionary as the motion-sensing control scheme introduced by the Nintendo Wii entertainment system; in fact, this idea represents in many ways the other side of the motion-sensing mirror… or should I say… “window”?
The logic behind this masterful idea is referred by the creator as “head tracking”, and it’s just the opposite of what the wii does. Rather than using gestures to interact with the game environment upon the screen, head tracking has the computing capturing your point of view and changing the environment accordingly. What does this achieve, you might be wondering? Far more than you might suspect! It literally makes a regular screen turn into a window to the 3D realms! Just watch the video and keep a mental note… in a few years this technique will become standard, and that man (who I suppose has envisioned the whole thing) will become insanely wealthy.
