I think the previous, much darker theme that I was using was getting a little out of date, so I’ve changed over to Kubrick 2. I’ve been looking for quite a while for a nice, clean theme with a lot of whitespace, and I think this one fits the description best.
One thing I can say about this theme is it is extensively customizable!
If you need a very customizable, pretty theme, check it out for yourselves.
So the CAPTCHAs these days are really trying to test the intelligence of us regular folk, particularly the RapidShare ones. You see, they want us to pick out the letters that have cats on them, but I got it wrong the first time, so the second time around I actually entered the number with a cat on it as well!
And yep, entering the number as well as the letters worked.
I wasn’t too thrilled with the complexity of it, to be honest! 
I don’t mean to brag here (although as of late, everyone has so many subscribers, this is hardly a feat), but I have 1337 subscribers on PhotoshopStar 
For those of you that don’t know what 1337 means, check it out on Urban Dictionary.
Note: I’ve been an avid Team Fortress 2 player for about 6 months now. I have a fun clan that two of my brothers and I play online under: PS (Poker Strategies).
Down to business …
Any user of Steam will know that a Team Fortress 2 update as released recently. I want to ask though, who in their right mind thought it was a good idea releasing a batch of like 50 achievements for just one class? I think it would have been a better idea if they had released the achievements for 5 classes at the same time, as now there are more medics than other players.
6 medics and 5 other players does not work!
It seems taking a screenshot of the classes page didn’t work, so I can’t show you my team of 11 people and 6 medics.
Oh well! I normally play as the medic (most healed: 8800) but I’m going to wait until the medic has died down again before I start garnering the achievements.

I’ve been notified by a couple of people that a Google PR update is happening/has happened - and this time I’m in the good 
A few updates ago my website PhotoshopStar went down from 5 to 4 and stayed like that, but now it’s back up to 5! Must be those few naughty links I removed *cough*
My personal blog is also up to a PR4. Everyone will tell you that pagerank isn’t important in the least unless you’re selling links, which it isn’t really, but it’s still nice to know we’re being treated alright (when our PR goes up, anyway).
ProBlogger has reminded us that we need to forget about PR and continue building better blogs Which is true of course. It’s still nice to see that green bar in the middle there.
OK, so my pal’s website (WebAppers) has recently lost 2000 RSS readers, so he was a little concerned about that, while I’ve experienced a similar loss of readers - 200 out of 1300, if it weren’t a glitch with FeedBurner I would feel pretty bad about this
It seems to be a problem with picking up the Netvibes subscribers, as Ray and I have both found out (a few days ago I had 80 subscribers with Netvibes).
I certainly don’t have it so bad though, still having 1100 subscribers on PhotoshopStar.
I’ve also broken a record here, I have an average of 15 subscribers on this here little blog Keep it comin’.
OK, so some smart people have gotten together and come up with something called RSS awareness day. On May 1st we’re (bloggers) all meant to talk about RSS and the uses for it, how it makes our online lives much easier!
If you don’t know what RSS is, you should definitely check out the website, it explains RSS very simply and effectively.
Tell someone about RSS on May 1st.
My friend has recently released a new, premium WordPress theme that you buy under a license-based system. My first impressions are that this theme is really beautiful, especially the logo (which is an image, by the way).
From a wannabe-designer’s point-of-view, the colors are awesome and so is the background pattern, I think it all flows together very well.
The single license will set you back $49, which means you’ll only be able to use it on one domain; and the developer license will cost you $99, although you’ll be able to use the theme on unlimited domains/blogs. No license allows you to re-sell or redistribute the theme though.
Definitely worth a look if you’re in the market for a new, elegant WordPress theme.
I’m also looking into getting a new WordPress theme, so far I’m interested in designing my own then distributing it for free. Very dark themes (like the one I’m currently using) are known to get very little pageviews per visit, and that seems to be true so far, so I’m looking into developing a simplistic, light theme.
‘Ooh-vuh’ Boll has just challenged Michael Bay to a ‘Death Match’ as they put it over at /Film, which is the film blog I read most frequently. I’ve sort of been following the recent Uwe Boll news, such as when he said if a petition received 1,000,000 signatures asking him to quit film-making he would quit, then a petition was started and got 200,000 signatures in a matter of a month or so. He then insulted Michael Bay and Eli Roth, to which they responded.
Now … he’s challenged Michael Bay to a boxing match, and Uwe apparently already has some experience/skill under his belt, so it probably won’t really be a fair fight unless Bay trains like Rocko did for Rocky Balboa
OK, this video is beautiful! Love every word that comes out of this guys mouth, he just keeps making a fool of himself!
OK, so if Michael Bay dignifies this with a response saying he won’t fight, people will probably think he did the right thing, but he will look like a pansy. But if he accepts the challenge he’ll be called an idiot for going so far.
I personally would love to see something like this happen, but I don’t think Michael Bay will accept (and I think that’s the way it should be!)
So Uwe Boll’s upcoming film Postal will probably make quite a bang at the box office pretty much because of how much attention & exposure he’s been getting over the last few months. I won’t be seeing it at least.
Search /Film for ‘Uwe Boll’ and you’ll find anything else that I missed out
