Under The Number – It’s Only Right

Most of the music videos that I post in this blog are from well-known bands. Today we’ll go for something completely different. Under The Number – a local band, based in Pafos. The video is not even a music video yet, but the song is pretty cool. Now I’ll just have to catch them playing live somewhere.

If you like this one, there is another song coming out next month. Subscribe to their YouTube channel, visit the web site, and follow them on Facebook not to miss out. Tell a friend too.

Gary Moore, RIP

Very sad news – Gary Moore passed away. He was only 58 years old. A great musician by any measure.

Pages of history

Yesterday I came across this collection of nostalgic photographs that bring back memories from the USSR times. I was too young to see some of those images in real life, but they still have meaning to me. Most though are as they were back then.

Yet, these are staged photographs of some every day items. Today I came across something much more real and something much more dramatic. It is again a collection of images, but in a video form. The video shows the staggering difference between the modern day Saint Petersburg and Leningrad (as it was called back then) during the Siege. As Wikipedia puts it: “It was one of the longest and most destructive sieges in history and one of the most costly in terms of human casualties”. It lasted for 872 days and it took lives of millions of people. As per Wikipedia: 1,017,881 were killed, captured, or missing and 2,418,18 wounded or sick from the Red Army forces. Civilian casualties are in the numbers of 642,000 during the siege and 400,000 at evacuations. These are only those numbers that were verified. In reality that was much more.

Trailer: Battle : Los Angeles

There are a few trailers going around for something called “Battle : Los Angeles”. Judging by the trailers, that’s a must see in the cinema.

Via Geeks Are Sexy, which has another trailer and a better one at that.

The vendor-client relationship in real life situations

This gotta be one of my favorite business-related videos. As ridiculous as the situations in the video seem, they are a daily routine for a lot of people working in IT sector. Think web design, software development, consulting, maintenance, support, training, etc. Enjoy!
