Sweet, sweet vacation time has finally arrived. And it’s long overdue as well. Having said that, I’ll be without internet most of the time, and won’t have much free time to post on the blog anyway. So, as of today the blog will be in a vacation mode, and no new posts, will be made until I return from my vacation.

I’ll be returning next Saturday, the 28th of July, at which point, expect photos, and maybe few stories about it. Until then, take care, and enjoy your summers. Ciao.

Ok, so I know that a lot of people don’t even like rap, or that they hate Tom Green. And I’m not a great fan of either myself, but when mixed, it’s a whole different story. Who would have thought that Tom Green was this good actually? I was really blown away once he opened his mouth and started free styling. It just doesn’t look, or sound like him, at all.

Upon further digging through Wikipedia, I found out that that is actually how Tom Green got into show business. By rapping in a short-lived hip-hop group called Organized Rhyme. There are quite a few videos on YouTube as well. Really strange to look at young Tom Green rapping away in a Canadian hip-hop formation.

Wow, what can I say? I’m really impressed. Phil Hansen really needs more exposure, though it’s not like my blog will bring him much attention, but every single person who does learn about him from here is really an excellent thing. So who is Phil Hansen and what does he do? As the title already implies, he is an artist, but not just any artist.

This guy is really amazing, and each one of his works is different as well, and somehow it all makes wonderful sense. Really really amazing. There’s another video, which shows off more of his work and how he does it at Yahoo’s People of the Web feature.

To get a better idea of what people like and don’t like, I have added a post rating system which lets everyone, anonymously rate a post. The ratings are your typical five star business, where five is the best, and one the worst. I’d like to add a sort of guide though, or more like a reference, so that I could maximize the rating results and draw better conclusions from them.

It’s actually just one thing. Please rate. That’s it, it doesn’t take any time, and doesn’t require you to do refresh the page or anything, just one click and you have rated the post. Rating posts will help me decide in what direction to take my blog, and to see what type of posts (lots of text, or lots of images, or a mix, or whatever) people enjoy reading most.

So go ahead and rate my posts, and don’t just go giving everything five stars, if a post deserves only one star (and I’d give quite a few that low of a score here) then please do put it down as one star. Thank you for your time.
