I dont really want to say much as it will spoil the surprise, it is slow to start, stick with it.

Oooh pretty! Check this piece of neat techy stuff out:

Exclusive to the new Star Trek 1-6 movie box set. Whoopi Goldberg interviews the captains of the USS Enterprise, to “boldly go” where no interview has gone before…

A must see for any Trekkie!

We here at RubberShorts are challenging YOU to the Wagon Wheels game, “Can You Do Two?”!

Remember these old favourites? They seemed to have gone missing for a few years, but they’re making a comeback. We tried the challenge here and it was met with some incredibly funny results.

All I can say is LOL.

Gnarly, man!

We like this video of Dylan Longbottom doin’ his thang down the barrel of a wave.

The clip is an extract from a six-part series called South Pacific being broadcasted on BBC2 from Sunday May 10th 2009 at 20.30 in the UK.

This particular film is from the first programme, ‘Oceans of Islands’, and it captures world class surfer, Dylan Longbottom, in super slow motion and high definition, surfing a 12 foot monster barrel wave.

Capturing the action at 20 times slower than the normal speed, the film also shows the awesome power of the waves from underwater – filmed for the first time are the spiraling vortices created by these huge waves.

It’s rather catchy, so apologies if you listen to/watch this and can’t get it out of your head for the next week.

I’m a huge fan of Twitter. In fact, I tweet probably 5 times a day, if not more. Despite all the negative press it’s received lately, I find the social networking/”microbloggingy thingy” (see video link below if you don’t know what I’m talking about) to be incredibly interesting and have made many ‘friends’ on there since I joined up last year. They’re all friends-of-friends, people connected to friends I already knew IRL and I have to say, they’re some of the nicest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of talking to.

I had barely gotten into blogging before I discovered Twitter (yeah, I know, I’m late to the party, as usual). It’s just so much easier to write a 140 character mini-’blog’ about stuff instead of writing some long-winded blog post. Although, blogging could probably be considered a lot more satisfying. And sure, everything has its’ place - I wouldn’t go spouting off about a topic on Twitter, having a really long rant, whatever my complaint or praise may be. Then again, if I think of something on the bus, and I just want to get it down, Twitter is right there.

And yes, I mean right there - being a recent owner of an iPhone I have become addicted to Tweeting every few hours (if not minutes). Little did I know my 3G was broken, so now having gotten that fixed, I am now constantly able to check my Twittersphere as much as I want That actually may not be such a good thing…

I am also a queen of procrastination, and BOY is Twitter a tool by which to put off whatever you do, but don’t, want to do. So for your enjoyment, here are some neat animations about procrastination. I hope you like them and that they help you rid yourself of the procrastination bug.
