Gym Day 74..Chest and Triceps...
Just got back from the gym, surprised I left the house to go as I felt reallllly lazy this morning. Stayed up late again watching WEC 48, saturday night I tried to watch it and 45 mins in my laptop overheated and shut down...I was NOT impressed. So I spent all Sunday downloading it and watched it late last night..and you wouldn't believe it..20 mins into the main event it over heats and turns off again..someone really didn't want me to watch it lol.
So I gave up on it for a bit, noticed WWE Extreme Rules was on so watched that, when that finished at 3am or so I tried to turn my lappy on and thank God it went on..managed to watch the fight then headed off to bed.
So that was a late sleep, I woke up at 8.30!!! why oh why, I set my alarm for 10.30, why am I waking up so early? Anywho I wasn't feeling the best, when I'm up I'm up..it was Chest and Tricep day which can be fun so I got my ass to the gym.

WEC 48 Aldo vs Faber...I'm HYPE for it...
WEC's first pay per view, its funny how all the promo has been like its for a UFC event, they even got rid of the commentary team and brought in Goldie and Rogan. The Main Event is going to be INSANE. Henderson vs Cowboy Cerrone will be INSANE, there last fight was 2009's fight of the year. I could go on and on about the match ups, they are just top notch. This is easily better then the majority of the UFC's ppv's.
Should be on tonight, 2-3am..or tomorrow I will upload the fight vids.
Main Card
Featherweight Championship bout: Jose Aldo (c) vs. Urijah Faber
Lightweight Championship bout: Ben Henderson (c) vs. Donald Cerrone
Featherweight bout: Mike Brown vs. Manvel Gamburyan
Lightweight bout: Anthony Njokuani vs. Shane Roller

B.o.B - The Adventures of Bobby Ray (album review)...
This is a VERY quick and very brief review of the new B.o.B album. B.o.B is an artist I have know about for a while now, been waiting for this album, glad its finally here. I heard about B.o.B the same day I heard about Drizzy Drake, some poster on a forum I go to posted a link to 5 up and coming MC's mixtapes and he was on one them. FYI the mixtapes were for B.o.B, Drake, Kid Cudi, Charles Hamilton and Blu...I'm a big fan of them all, except Blu, who for some reason I never got around to listening.
Anywho on to the album, its VERY dope, has everything, crazy flow, crazy lyrics, different subjects to regular hip hop albums, and some crazy features. To name a few Lupe Fiasco, Eminem and the lead singer of my fav band (Paramore) Hayley Williams. So judging by features alone its off the charts already.
The beats are very nice, the majority of the album was actually produced by B.o.B himself, which really impressed me, even T.I (the owner of the label his label) produced on the album.
What I like most is he isn't your typical rapper, he's not your typical Atlanta rapper, he does it all. Bit of a rock sound, singing, fast rapping, slower rapping. I hate to make the comparison, but its hard not too, he is like a young Andre 3000. I hate to say it as Andre is one of the best to ever do it, he is sooooo dope, and it make me sound like I am comparing B.o.B, but its just the style is similar. They even sound alike.
Rating - 9/10
Soo...here are a few tracks from the album I am feeling...
Track list:
“Don’t Let Me Fall”
“Nothin’ On You” (featuring Bruno Mars) – 4:30
“Past My Shades” (featuring Lupe Fiasco)

Finally a use for the iPad...
The iBookend transforms your new iPad into a simple bookend, designed by Dominic Wilcox.
"My idea this week is an accessory to transform the whizzbang iPad into a simple practical object that may be useful around the home, in this case a bookend."
Also a lil review from a 2.5 year old...
Telstar Logistics founder Todd Lappin’s 2.5-year-old daughter reviews the iPad.
"As you can see, after geeking out on my Sutro Tower homescreen, she took right to it — including figuring out how to enlarge some of her favorite iPhone-legacy apps to 2x to display full-size on the iPad screen. If you’re good at understanding kid-speak, you’ll also notice that she immediately saw its potential as a video-display device. She lamented the lack of a camera, and wondered about its potential for playing games.
On the downside, she had the same frustration as many adults, where touching the screen-edge with your thumb while holding the iPad blocks input to all home screen icons. Notice also that she was confused by the splash page for FirstWords Animals, her favorite spelling game: Because the start button looked like a graphic, rather than a conventional button, she couldn’t figure out how to start the game."

HTC Desire Review...
Where do I begin? Oh yeah the phones FUCKING AMAZING...soooo happy with my new toy. Using it makes my old N97 feel like an ancient relic. I will admit, at the time my N97 was amazing, it had a lovely keyboard, plenty of mass memory, and it was the first phone I got with a data plan to use the internet and it was pretty good...BUT using the HTC Desire is just next level.
Lets start with the screen...WOWZER its beautiful, 3.7 inch AMOLED capacitive touch screen with pinch-to-zoom capability...so you can do all the cool stuff the iphone does, use multi-touch to zoom in to pics, flick from screen to screen with ease. Unlike my N97 that has a resistive touchscreen that required pressure, this one relies on the electrical properties of the human body to detect when and where on a display the user touching. Because of this you only need to lighty touch to use it, no stylus required.
The camera on the device is pretty good, 5 mega-pixel camera with single LED flash. No dedicated camera button, but the trackpad works as a button for this which is no problem to use.
Unlike the iphone which has a pretty boring homescreen which consists of a list of program short cuts, the HTC Desire with its customised Android OS Sense UI 2.1 it has 7...yes 7 homescreens. And you can use these for whatever you want. On my home screens I have:
1. Weather Widget
2. Twitter Widget
3. Music Widget
4. Main Home screen, Clock + Weather, program links for messages, emails, camera and internet
5. Facebook Widget, Youtube Widget, program links for Twitter, photos, calender and maps
6. Web Bookmarks Widget
7. left free for now
So I have pretty much what I want at the flick of my finger. Fancy checking FB its there, Twitter its there, wanna quickly flick to a internet page I can click straight on a bookmark. Quality stuff, very intuitive.
A nice lil feature the phone has is when you unlock the device, once you flick the screen down to unlock, depending on what the weather is the screen will either have rain drops fall which are then washed away by window wipers..or for example if its cloudy..a set of clouds will fly by in the back ground. Its a nice lil touch that always looks cool. The phone also has 'live' wallpapers which are basically animated backdrops, some of which you can interact with. For example pressing on the water background will make ripples, nice lil touch.
I gave the Android Market space a quick look and its pretty darn cool. MUCH better then the Ovi store on my N97. That was a really poor store, hard to navigate, would constantly log you out also. The store on the HTC Desire is great, has a easy to use search feature, apps download and install quickly also. It seems to have alot of apps and alot of variety also.
The phone came with a 4GB Micro SD card, upgradeable to a 32GB card, I will probably eventually get one, but 4 GB is plenty for now. Loads of space for pics, music and apps.
To summarise, so far, VERY impressed. Haven't used it as my real phone properly yet as I haven't got a case and have been to scared to carry it about with me lol, but I will sort that soon. If your thinking of getting a new phone and think Blackberry's are corny and iPhones are too expensive, its defo worth checking out.
Up Close and Personal
