Why the Concept of Vampires are so Intriguing…

Muhammad — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 16:07:46 +0000

The Twilight Series, Blade, The Vampire Diaries, True Blood and a whole host of other new-age vampire manifestations with varying theories on what vampires are, what they can do and what kills them. But I don’t care about all that. Why do we find them so interesting that we give it all of our attention [...]

I don’t normally promote the music or activities of mainstream hip-hop. But this Marketing campaign for the "Get Busy Committee" caught my eye, especially wit h their custom-made Uzi-shaped USB drives… Clever since their new album is called "Uzi Does It." Being a novelty USB junkie… I thought it was pretty cool :) [Wired] addthis_url [...]

This is a very cool animation I came across… it makes me feel good, you know. It’s got good direction in the way you see one scene fading into the background as the new one takes precedence and the way the characters are introduced is done very effectively.

The Night-Time Prayer Fiasco

Muhammad — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 00:08:33 +0000

Was treated to an interesting bit of information just before taraweeh prayer (the special night-time Ramadan prayer) yesterday. Apparently some of the Muslims were being attacked with eggs while leaving the mosque after the taraweeh prayer. A black car (didn’t get all the details) driving around the Epsom mosque and blasting people walking home [...]

Compared to it’s counterpart in New York, the London Underground has generally always tilted a little bit more toward providing some sort of palatable colour and design to enhance the experience of the 3.5 million commuters. The Underground’s [...]

Short Story: Shuffle.

Muhammad — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 02:06:44 +0000

“Dammit.” This reports going to take the whole bloody day. Why do I do this? Why am I here? “He’s calling you into his office.” A colleague with general information as he passed by. I wouldn’t be irritated if it wasn’t for that smirk on his face, bastard. Walking into ‘his’ office everything slows down. I [...]
