Moving images that take up way too much of my time

House - A medical show where the medicine is not important, that can't be right.
Yes it can, if you have a good story and amazing actors.
Hugh Laurie is just brilliant, and Robert S. Leonard(Wilson) also compliments him well.
The rest of the team also does a good job of course!

The Big Bang Theory - Or as Craig Ferguson puts it The Jim Parsons Show.
It's undeniable that Jim Parson(Sheldon) carries the show, and that if he was out there would be no show, also I think that it 's one of the best\crucial casts in recent years.
I think I just beat the world record for most compliments in a row!
But anyway they are all brilliant, even Kunal Nayyar who plays the silent Raj!

Greek - Or as I like to call it Cappie with a bit of Dale on the side.
Take away Cappie there is no show, take Dale I am going to be mildly pissed.
This my guilty pleasure, but who hasn't dreamed of being the guy who manages to be in College for 20 years!
The funny thing is that the main Character is not Cappie!

Moving images that shouldn't take up anyone's time!

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno - Or "How to steal a show just by crying"
Because of this guy I don't get to see Conan here in Portugal, so please let's boycott the show and get him out of there!

Give some feedback!
Cheers!

My Guitar Journey I: Learning Freight Train (Version 1)

Finally my first Guitar Journey post.

If you read the Big Announcement post you know that I am learning "Freight Train" as taught by
Heronymusic.
This is the first version of four, and in each version something will be added to the song.
I am on tight schedule so I only did audio, i will try to add video the next time.

Here is the video\audio:



Difficulties:
Wrapping the thumb around the neck to play the F base note.

The Lesson

I need all the feedback I can get to improve.

Critics, suggestions even insults...are welcome!
Please comment, dig, retweet...

Cheers!

p.s: I expect great challenges on the next version...

Too much work to post!

I have had some papers to deliver so i haven't been able to post.
For now i need to rest, but tomorrow I will post!

Also the first audio of my guitar journey will be up this weekend!

Thank you to all my readers!

My Guitar Journey: Big Announcement

The big announcement: 

I'll star posting audio(maybe video) of the songs\skills i learn on the guitar.

My guitar bio:

My father bought me one of those special small Classic Guitars when I was about 12, but I didn't play it much. When I was around 17 I started listening to Fingerpicking (Tommy Emmanuel, Doyle Dykes...), but still didn't pick up the guitar there, mainly because I though I could never do that.

A year ago, give or take, one of my best friends(Hi Carvalho), told me he wanted to learn the guitar, I restarted the process with him. I started get really into it, and after a while I bought a new guitar(this time I bought an Acoustic), because my first guitar is too small for my fingers now.

So, thank you Carvalho (Unfortunately he isn't playing anymore, but I still have faith!).

Early Struggles:

My biggest struggle was the rhythm. I am not very gifted musically, so it took me a while to get the hang of it.

Where I am at: 

I have a learn a lot of rock\pop songs, or as Marty Shwartz likes to call them camp-fire songs.

Now I learn something a little bit more challenging, so I decided to learn the song that Tommy Emmanuel recommends as the starting point of a fingerpicker,"Freight Train".

Who is teaching?

Jeroen from Holland, or if you prefer Heronymusic from YouTube!

He has a great method, he teaches the song in phases each one adding something to the song.

In this particular case "Freight Train" has four phases.

First Plans

I expect my first four posts to be on the different phases of "Freight Train", I will post audio and maybe video if I overcome the shyness!(doubt it)

After that I have no idea what will happen.

Final Words

I will appreciate all the critics good or bad.

Even the ones with this format: "You Suck and you are ugly!".

Those are always helpful.

I hope you follow my Journey and help me trough it!

Cheers!

p.s: Also check out my online teachers.

Where can i follow this madness?

How your website sounds like...

How your website sounds like.

What does it mean?

How can a website have sound?

How can you know what is that sound?

Simple!

You take away all the letters that are not in the musical scale(The music scale is A to G) from the body of your website, and the letter that is used the most is the key of you website.Also if the letter appears an even number of times its because it's in the major pentatonic scale if not its in the minor pentatonic scale.

Based on the number of characters the site will be awarded a synthesiser.

The drums will be determined by dividing the number of characters that are music note for the total.

At least that is what CODEORGAN about page said!

Did you think I made all that up?

I don't have that kind of imagination.

Anyway I know that CODEORGAN is kind of pointless, but it's kind of fun for a few minutes...

...for instance my website is in the key of CMajor, and has Horns synthesiser, the drums you have to ear it  for yourself, just copy-paste the link to check it out...

Hope you enjoy, the sound of your websites!

Anwser to a reader: I am tired of tech (kind of)

Del Handley writer of Personal Blog of Del Handley, asked me why i didn't write about my course (computer science).

My answer is quite odd, because what happened to me, and i know it has happened to others, is that ever since I started the course i became more unaware of  the latest news in tech.

Contrary to what some people believe, i am not learning what's the best processor in the market, or if the iPad is a good idea!

I am learning how it all works, in other words the "boring stuff".

And the reason why don't pay attention to tech related news so much now, its because I hear about it all day long that the last thing I want to do when I get home is read about more technology even if its the "cool stuff".

Now everyone is thinking, that i hate my own field of study...

Not the case i just want to do something else with the time that the course leaves me.

Thanks for the question Del!

If you have a boring life press 1...

"1"

I should have stopped writing at "1" because I should be studying for tomorrow's exam. Oh well...
Already had one today, I have to relax a bit.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh

Relaxed!

Now study, but first I have to introduce my fellow bloggers:
