Rob Frost's Blog: October 2006

Christmas is early!

The Russian mp3 store allofmp3.com (U.S. music studios' worst nightmare) has decided to allow free download of its entire catalog. Yup, that's pretty much any and every song you can think of!

You have to download their own drm'd player - but there are ways around this

Get it while it's fresh!

p.s. I wonder how long this will last.

Zim regime violates human rights - on cam!

If it isn't enough that their economy is in the toilet (inflation at 1000%), the Mugabe regime in Zimbabwe is now committing human rights violations against anyone who dares to protest.

This is a video of some Zimbabweans attempting a peaceful protest and getting the shit beaten out of them by police.

What's frustrating and a little scary is that we here in South Africa are made fully aware of these atrocities being committed by Robert Mugabe. The media is constantly drawing attention to it, but our government does absolutely fuck all about it. Zimbabwe is our neighbour and since this has been going on, the most I have heard our government comment about it is that we are pursuing a "policy of quiet diplomacy" with Zimbabwe.

so far on Uncle Bob's time line of totalitarianism:
land reform - 95% of white farmers are kicked off their land and the land is given to war veterans

food shortages and famine - see above!

75% unemployment

highly disputed "free and fair" elections

and now human rights violations and banning demonstrations.

Uncle Bob is well on his way to achieving Saddam's status - except Saddam didn't destroy his economy!

Damn X2!!

My head is friggin spinning!
I don't know where to look first - this pic contains two of my favourite things in the world.

Apple G5 and Gisele (in that order)
