I listened to the new Sigur Rós track, Brennisteinn, a few times since it was released last friday.

It sounds a lot darker then what they did on Valtari, but it's not a bad thing at all, I really like how it sounds.

I think that if we inverted the order: "Feed - Hubski.com", we'd get the advantages of a clear title and still get something usefull if the titles were croped when to many tabs are open.

I'm not sure what to think of Amok.

Some of the track are amazing (Ingenue, Amok...) but I'm already tired of some others (I might have listened to much to Default before the release of the album).

I guess I'll just listen to it a bit more to see if other tracks start to grow on me, that's how it went with The King of Limbs.

Now I want to go buy clubs! :)

And I'll need a bit more practice before I achieve 5 balls, but I hope I can do it sometime this summer.

I juggle!

I like how versatile it can be with the level of concentration you need.

If I want to think about stuff, I can juggle simple 3 balls patterns without giving it too much attention, and if I just want to juggle, I can practice new tricks or more balls (I can currently juggle 4 without to much trouble).

Other evil Tetris games:

Bastet

    For people who enjoy swearing at their computer, Bastet (short for Bastard Tetris) is an attractive alternative to Microsoft Word.

HATETRIS

    This is bad Tetris. It's hateful Tetris. It's Tetris according to the evil AI from "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream".

They are not impossible Tetris games, you can make rows, but it tries to give you the worst possible piece.

1. Kid A - Radiohead 2. L'Heptade - Harmonium 3. Untrue - Burial 4. Hail to the Thief - Radiohead 5. () - Sigur Rós

But it changes so often, I would probably have answered differently if it were last week, or in a few months.
