GTA Coke ad
This Coke ad is very good. It’s a parody of the highly successful GTA series. 😀
I read about this the other day on Blogography and had to post it up. I remember vaguely seeing this before but the site is called “Where the hell is Matt?”. The guy goes around the world dancing in various locations. The original version was made in 2005 but this year, a mint company called Stride sponsored him to go around the world again to another set of countries. Some of the locations are stunning and the video is quite uplifting for some reason, for me anyway. 🙂
I attended another excellent gig by my favourite upcoming band, The Finest, on Saturday night at Voodoo. I randomly saw the poster while on my way to work last week so I rounded up Dave, Paul and Jay to go along. The lads have played a good few gigs since I last saw them in the Venue out in Rathfarnham and produced some great new tunes on the night. 🙂 We’re looking to develop a site for them at the moment, thefinestrocks.com, so hopefully that’ll be live in a month or so. For now you can check out their bebo bands page if you want to know more.

Why make me register?
It’s a particular gripe of mine when sites make me register just to read information that I have a passing interest in. I’ve seen it twice today and it’s made me wonder how many people actually go ahead and register. First up is the Irish Independent’s website, unison, which I reached from a link on blogorrah about Oxegen 2006. I’ve come across unison before but everytime I’ve been linked to it, the site demands my details to read a story. That’s just shit, I only want to read the information, not give you my email address for the privilege.
Next up was Lance Armstrong’s site. Now I’ve been reading his book, “It’s Not About The Bike, My Journey Back to Life” for the past few weeks. In fact, I just finished reading it a few minutes ago and decided to check out his site. On the front page they have various news stories about Lance which link in to the Paceline section of his site. Guess what, you need to register just to read news about him. 🙁 It’s totally unnecessary and has immediately turned me away from the site. Site owners need to wise up and stop requiring registration to view content. There are lots of valid uses for registration, in fact I’m signed up to more forums, blogs and shopping sites than I can count but when I’m browsing it’s like a brick wall.
