oh, khuda ke liye!
Apparently this is in chaste urdu, and apparently, its doing rather well too in India.
Though, obviously, it can’t touch this:

nothing of the kind.
yeah, i’ve heard lewis recently on conan o’brien etc. and he didn’t sound up to it. i don’t know much about him, but i do know he was one-fourth of the million dollar quartet.
lewis is the one on the left. those other fellows - now a heavenly trio - went by the names carl perkins, elvis presley, and johnny cash.
ah, the powerpoint - in my experience, equally terrifying to those who wield it and those subjected to it. i haven’t had much use for slideshows and stuff. at college, i preferred not to use it, when given a choice. i found html to be a good alternative. i’ve got openoffice on my pc now - seems all right, but i haven’t really used it much. but it’s free!
i’ve used linux briefly, in the depths of the misery that was statistical & thermal physics (!), so i can’t say much about it. the mac os is excellent. the new macbook air looks lovely - as does most apple hardware - but i’m not sure it’s worth the cost - again, like most apple products. i don’t think it even has a cd drive. if you want to go all fruity, i’d suggest a standard macbook, or go all out and get the pro version. i nearly bought a mini while shopping around for a pc last year, but settled on a gateway-vista notebook. ugly & crude - fits perfectly into my life.
oh, inflection is fun! “in fect”, i reckon, it’s almost as much fun as the jumping, dancing … queen of our country.

not quite johnny cash
yup, definitely need a course on motown classics. unfortunately my knowledge of motown is rudimentary at best.
in other news, i thought it was a shame that jerry lee lewis performed ‘great balls of fire’ at the grammys. i have no idea what his place in music history is, but his voice wasn’t upto it and it came across as a very gimmicky, lets try and replicate johnny cash type of deal.
on the other hand the video is still worth checking out as john fogerty was pretty cool, even though i don’t think i’ve ever heard anything by the creedence clearwater revival before.
moving away from music for a bit, a few years ago Atomsmasher sent me a series of four classic lollywood clips. for now i can’t be bothered to upload them, but i did manage to track the first one down on youtube. unfortunately it doesn’t allow me to embed, so you’ll have to follow the link.
