GI Joe - Commando Cobra

So yesterday I watched the first GI Joe movie on TV and it was... quite bad! No great acting, the story is really flat but the effects are well made.

BUT the best part of the movie: The eiffeltower is destroyed! Loved that scene! I mean - who really likes french people?

Office on mac and windows

I'm at the beginning of my bachelor thesis and today I decided to create the template for my text... 1,5 hours with word 2011 on my MBA and - f**k this crap - switched to my windows laptop and tada it worked in under 30 minutes.

Lesson learned: For quick notes office for mac 2011 is good - no doubt there! But the complex functions (i.e. different page number styles on different parts of the document) are a big pain in the ass!

Meanwhile spotify really makes me happy. The "artist radio" function is really a blessing! Right now I'm listening to "Opeth" with "Filthee" - sounds good - which I found through the "Dope" radio.

Spotify

So yesterday this "new" service Spotify gone online in germany and it's amazing. New users get 30 days premium account for free so I have no clue how good / bad the free version is.

Yesterday I surfed through the library and in no time I got a pretty neat playlist. I jumped from artist to artist via "similar artists" or used the "artist radio" which plays songs by artists of the same genre. Each song started immediately, as if he were on my hard drive. Really cool.

Today I will create a playlist in spotify and reuse it on my iPhone app and windows laptop. Unlimited possibilties for partys with internet connections 'cause you have access to 16.000.000+ songs!

Truly amazing this fashion phenomenal internet-thing.

Ghost Rider - Spirit of vengeance

Last week I watched the new "Ghost Rider" movie and well... it's not that bad! Okay, clearly the story is really flat and the characters are one-dimensional but it's is an action movie - who cares? The effects are well made and the sound is really good.

Nicolas Cage is the Ghost Rider. The Rider is a demon who has taken possession of Nicolas Cage. Oh no, it's an angel, corrupted by the devil who has taken possession of Nicolas Cage who tries to take control of the demon / angel thing. What the hell - he's burning, stealing souls and his head is only a skull - awesome!

If you have nothing to do and want to switch of your brain for about 1,5 hours -> perfect movie!
