keep readingThe day I popped my stand up comedy cherry
One of the other places that LRP is venturing in is the dark and dangerous world of stand up comedy. After a ten week class on the art and skill of stand up comedy, this was the final result. I cover topics ranging from Alien abductions, dating, cocaine, and everyones favorite ‘the dirty Sanchez’. cheers! ...

Phew boy - I'm pretty excited about this. Tron is one my my favourite movies of all time, and the trailer for the sequel has me hopeful Tron Legacy actually might not suck. While I knew Jeff Bridges was returning for the sequel, the trailer also shows Bruce Boxleitner, and let's face it the movie just wouldn't be the same without them both. H...

Anyone familiar with the first Crysis will undoubtedly know just how sublime it looked (my original review here). That is assuming of course that you had one of the hypothetical computers powerful enough to run it that hadn't been invented yet. No game has been able to match it in terms of graphics to date, even more than 2 years since it's first r...

Here's an interesting story, although I found it so for different reasons. Serial killer Rodney Alcala has been found guilty on 5 counts of first degree murder which he committed during the 60's and 70's. Aside from these murders, Alcala had also committed several rapes.

If you want another compelling reason for the worthlessness of blindly following religion, look no further than religious nut-jobs Kevin and Elizabeth Schatz. These idiots like many other imbeciles, blindly follow the faith and preachings of one Tennessee evangelist named Michael Pearl. Pearl teaches parents to beat their children so that they b...

Tell me you don't want one of these in your house. OK maybe it's a geek thing, but this is the closest thing to Star Trek Stellar Cartography I've seen in the real world. Liquid Galaxy was spawned from one of Googles 20% projects, and features 8 LCD panels that surround you, with a voice activated (and physical interface as well) given you total...

Fans of the totally awesome deadly insanity that is 'The Deadliest Catch' might be saddened to learn as I was that Captain Phil Harris has died. Phil suffered a stroke 2 weeks ago and was placed in a medically induced coma. After waking he was starting to improve but gave up yesterday in hospital. Those who followed the show will remember he ...

Apparently there is a need for yet another social media platform, and this time it's Google doing the pimping in an attempt to increase the signal within the noise. Googles offering simply called Buzz is rather ambitious in that it seems to integrate features from some of the biggest players in the market right now, including but not limited to ...
