Doll

A doll that doesn’t have a heart
Was born from warm hands
It does not laugh
It does not speak

Someday, I want you to hear my thoughts
Because they won’t become words
But I’ll strain the limit of my strength
So I can learn what it’s like to live

The doll holds the meaning of the words “thank you”
But it hasn’t used
Or said them yet

Someday, I want you to hear my thoughts
Because they won’t become words
But I’ll strain the limit of my strength
Because I want to tell you ~ “Thank you”

The wind has come out for a bit
And pushes me back
I’ll prepare for my journey again

Someday, I want you to hear my thoughts
Because they won’t become words
But I strain the limit of my strength
I’m crying and shouting because it conveys

Someday, if I can go to the distant sea
To the edge of the world’s end
If I can make my way to such a place
I’ll learn to feel again

Atataka na te kara umareta
Kokoro o motanai ningyou
Warau koto wa naku
Hanasu koto mo nai

Itsuka kiite hoshii kono omoi mo
Kotoba ni wa naranai kedo
Chikara no kagiri o furishibotte
Ikite iku koto o shiru kara

Ningyou wa arigatou to iu kotoba no imi o oboeta
Demo mada tsukau koto mo
Hanasu koto mo nai

Itsuka kitte hoshii kono omoi mo
Kotoba ni wa naranakute mo
Chikara no kagiri o furshibotte
“Arigatou” ~ sou tsutaete iku kara

Kaze ga sukoshi dete kite
Boku no se o osu kara
Mata tabi no shitaku o suru koto ni shita n da

Itsuka kiite hoshii kono omoi o
Kotoba ni wa naranai kedo
Chikara no kagiri o furishibotte
Naite sakende tsutaeru kara

Itsuka yukeru nara tooi umi e
Sekai no hate no hate made
Sonna basho ni tadoritsuketara
Donna kimochi ni nareru no kana

MTV Music


Better late than never, they must have thought over at MTV, as they finally strike back at YouTube and open up a new website dedicated to music videos and related footage. I like, the videos are obviously of higher quality as most of the stuff that’s on the Tube which in the case of most 80′s and 90′s music is most often ripped from ye olde VHS tapes.
I also like because it’s possible to embed the videos on your site. They already have a huge amount of music and they’re adding more each and every day. MTV vs. YouTube…. round 1…. ding!

Faderhead – FH3


Bought this last week directly from Faderhead’s website, a bargain at 5.99 euros for a download of the whole album with a pdf of the cover. Excellent value for money and no DRM crap. Now if only someone explained ID3 tags to whomever prepared the files.
As for the album itself, it’s been on play in my car eversince, which given the fact that I drive 2-3 hours a day is a good sign. Short review: Hell yeah, buy it.

Lazy, lazier, Gmail


Nifty if you use gmail a lot and get a lot of mail that is along the same lines, gmail now offers canned responses. Or standard replies. You can make as many as you want, and for the truly lazy you can even combine it with filters for totally automated responders. Seeing as I don’t get that much standard mail on my gmail account I can’t think of any personal use for it, but I’m sure there are a lot of you out there who can.

Android goes Open Source

The operating system powering the G1, aka the Google Phone, is now available as Open Source. Which deserves a yay because 1) it means that a whole army of people around the world can now start tinkering with it and developing apps, or even modifying the OS, and 2) this should disprove all the tinfoil hats worried about selling their soul to Google. Oh yeah, and it’s linux based.
Now where’s the Yahoo phone?

How much data does this 3G stuff use?

So today I’ve been looking at the G1, and I love the idea of the thing even if I’m not convinced of the hardware yet. But I started wondering… how much data is all this connectivity going to use? And as such, how much is this going to cost me every month?

My news site; X111.org


Here we go, tracking 73 sites, and more to be added as I go, my own news site:
http://X111.org
I’m still on the lookout for some more proper sites for some of the categories, especially Computer, Music & Pro Blogging. And I still have to add a Gaming category if someone can come up with some decent non-hawker links.

Belspel

Here’s a nice one for the dutchies, we have call games on tv where you can ‘win’ money when you answer some stupendously simple questions. It’s a ripoff, and what some people have done is make a compilation video editing it in such a way that what is being said is ‘slightly’ different then what was originally intended.

Work in progress... not home!
Trying to get all/most of the new code working before I start on the eyecandy.
