 If I didn’t already sit at home working in my underwear this would be my dream too.

 

 

I’m not much of a McDonalds fan personally, but I might just start going into their “restaurants” to hang out like a 16 year old on school holidays (it’s the place to be, apparently) so I can start using their new free Wi-Fi networks.

While a number of McDonalds “restaurants” have had free Wi-Fi supplied by Telstra for a while now, they’re now planning on rolling out their own networks across a majority of their stores across the country. The rollout has already begun in NSW and the ACT, and will progress across the other states, with an expected completion date of late February 2009.

There’s no fudging around with logins or any need to actually buy anything (phew!), but there is a 50MB data limit, so no bittorrent for you. Hopefully we’ll see all the other fast food stores join McDonalds on the free Wi-Fi bandwagon.

Remember when a bunch of 11-15 y/olds could NOT do a passable cover of Bulls On Parade by RATM?

wtf happened to regurgitator?

I know I’m probably 10 years late in thinking this, but what the hell happened to “the gurge”?

A few sandwiches short of a picnic? Or a musical spirit so far before her time, she fits neither into “pop” nor “indi” or any other genre I can think of. 

“Josh, we need you brother, come join the band”

…any day now..

“Do I divide and fall apart?
Cause my bright is too slight to hold back all my dark
This ship went down in sight of land
At the gates does Thomas ask to see my hands?

I know you’ll come in the night like a thief
But I’ve had some time alone to hone my lying technique
I know you think that I’m someone you can trust
But I’m scared I’ll get scared and I swear I’ll try to nail you back up

So do you think that we could work out a sign
So I’ll know it’s you and that it’s over so I won’t even try. “

I was learning this tonight, and I headed to youtube to get conformation of a chord I wasn’t sure about, and stumbled upon this. Judge a book by it’s cover.. I dare you.
