And Be Gone
by Cue the Moon. My friend started drumming for this band not too long ago and what do you know, they're actually pretty good! Crazy video, too.

Very interesting
If I hadn't given that exact same lens away to my sister (and if I had any skills with a stanley knife), I'd have given this a try.
I suspect she doesn't need the lens anymore though....hmmm.

I was frustrated with a battery/memory issue with my camera
Made a search online and discovered it was a common problem with most cameras,
and this one guy posted a step by step tutorial on his blog on how to fix it.
With some precision screwdrivers I was able to fix it, something that the shop wanted
to charge me almost £100 quid for!
I've not attempted to do this in the video above (as yet) but I will recommend some advice.
A lot of the screws are different sizes, so draw a quick diagram on an A4 bit of paper of the lens/camera,
and place them in the right areas, it just helps when reassemble it.

But a few quid got me some very nice cheap extension rings off Amazon. I can't control the aperture with it, but then for what I'm using it for I'm not 100% sure I need to.

A few quid got me a reversing ring off Ebay. It just mounts the lens in reverse like this guy is doing to get the macro (search reversed lens macro) but similarly i cant control the aperture. However since just using the ring doesnt involve fucking about with the internals, i can take it off and use it as a regular lens as-well.

Lovely video
This guy has some pretty big balls IMHO, I would never get anywhere close to my camera/lens with epoxy glue, blades, soldering iron etc. Sadly I was not very impressed with the results (although it did seem better right at the end when he zoomed in on the black chunk).
I got much better results with a Pentax k1000 with 3 extension rings at school, grains of salt the size of 50p piece

I came across this 'cos I was given a cooked crab n I couldn't remember what teh feck you do with one,
haven't had one since I was a kid on hols with me parents, I opened the main part and they're HAIRY ON THE FECKIN INSIDE!!
We scooped it out and even the cats wouldn't touch it so we just had the claws, which were very nice, after a good hard bashing with a hammer.
I think I'll stick to crabsticks, it doesn't come in armour.

That is an intense crab flavour. Apparently you can eat everything apart from the shell and the dead mens fingers. But you've got to be a hardcore crab lover to eat that brown stuff.
I think I'll grow to love it..

Human LCD : Close Up Video ( SOUTH KOREA )
A friend posted this on my wall and thought i'd share it as it's pretty incredible.
'High school students cheering for their soccer teams.
The most amazing thing is that they do this with their CLOTHES (not holding up cards). they have a jacket that is one color on the back, one on the front, and that they can open or close to show a third color shirt on the inside.'
Probably GC as it has 3 million+ views but i hadn't seen it before :)
