Davey And Hull LUG Rock Da House: Video Style

A few days back I launched the The Art of Community Comedy Photo Comp and saw this incredible (video) example posted to YouTube:

Awesome work, Davey and Hull LUG! I was chuckling all the way through it, and yes, this absolutely counts in the competition!

Think you can do better than Davey’s rocking effort? Well, proove it, and get involved!

Rocking Out: Plastic Guitar Style

When I created my Amazon Wishlist a few weeks back ready for my birthday, I, like any opportunistic cad, added a bunch of different items on there, some of which I never expected a hope in hell to receive.

Well, today I had a coffee catch-up planned with my pal and Firefox / Python-testing super-hero Mikeal Rogers and he presented me with this accessory to rock-and-roll bliss:

Guitar Dork: World Tour.

That’s right metal-fans, it is a full-size authorized replica of a BC Rich Warlock made for Guitar Hero (and Rock Band, and I assume Frets On Fire). It also make me feel that little closer to living out my dreams as Max Cavalera from Sepultura during their 80’s heyday:

Spot the bonus mullet in the photo here.

This is actually perfect timing as I am planning a Guitar Hero competition at the next Ubuntu Developer Summit.

Thankyou so, so, much Mikeal!
