Not my wife…
Just watch it. That is all.
Hentai??
I was walking home the other night, when I saw a poster that said FREE FOOD. Don’t judge me… I obviously went to investigate.
Inside Hentai was showing and sushi was provided. Strange indeed. For those that don’t know… In Japan “hentai” has a strong negative connotation, and is commonly used to mean “sexually perverted”. It is extremely popular, which kind of worries me!!! In the West the term is used as slang for sexually explicit or pornographic comics and animation.
I thought my shock levels were pretty high… but BOYYYY, I got stunned by cartoons…. Hentai allows elements of sexual fantasy to be represented in ways that would be impossible to film. Including portrayals of sexual acts which are physically impossible and unacceptable in society… such as extreme bondage, creatures with tentacles lol…. gang rape, plus every other sexual taboo known to man.
I WONT be going back for more…
What's Next? Phone Technology…
I opened my email this morning and got a peek into the future…
this is what I saw:
New phone concepts for 2008-2010
Nokia 888 Communicator
“Futuristic concept phone, which uses liquid batteries, speech recognition, flexible touch screen and touch sensitive body cover. Designed by Tamer Nakisci and won the Nokia Design Award.”
Benq-Siemens “Snaked”
“Benq designers thought of women too and presented Snaked. This is a “reptile” looking phone, creepy somehow, but still is very cool. The Snaked is a fashion phone for sport loving women, because it also has body monitoring sensors to help the ladies keep those fine shapes.”
Retroxis By Dark Label
“If most phones presented here will never be sold in store for sure, the Retroxis concept phone from Dark Label looks kinda human, and makes us hope we’ll be able to get one of these one day. Designed by Lim Sze Tat the phone is encased in high polished polycarbonate renowned for its lightweight and toughness and has an invisible OLED display that silently hides away when inactive.”
Benq-Siemens “The Blackbox”
“Black Box designed by Benq-Siemens uses a touch screen as its keypad and, depending on the functions you are using, the touch screen changes the control layout immediately.”
NEC Tag
“Somehow similar to the Snaked concept, the NEC Tag is a flexible phone concept that can be , for example, hung from a belt or wrapped around the user’s arm. Interesting is that the phone has shape-memorizing material and sensors that allows the phone to change its shape according to the mode.”
TripleWatch
“Though the idea of a cellphone watch is not so new, the TripleWatch designed by Manon Maneenawa has an interesting triple flip technique that allows the user to transform the watch into a normal cellphone. When used as a wrist watch, the phone has a speaker button that allows the user to answer the phone and hang up while driving.”
Forget a Blackberry…..I want a Snake!
(Cheers cuz)
Luck of the Irish
Happy St Patrick’s Day to all the Irish ATCN readers! And all the non-Irish ATNC readers for that matter!
Tonight I’m going to be using my 1/8 Irish ‘roots’ to legitimise my plan to get more than a litte merry. An excuse, eh?
High Drama at the Rex
Pretty relieved that I never did make it down to Lil Wayne’s gig now…Predictably enough, the shit hit the fan almost immediately and the whole thing got locked off within half an hour.

RECORD OF THE WEEK
So this week’s record of the week comes from a cat who has just come to my attention called Theo. For a dude like me when i think of Providence Rhode Island all i think of is the Griffin family from Spooner street, but Theo is changing my perception.
FAST.Unlike other stupid ass blogs i refuse to label dude Hipster because he wears Supreme and shoes that you cant find on the Footlocker shelf but i will label him Next.
Get to know…..
Download the 85 TILL INFINITY mixtape now and see what dude’s working with.
