More on Jake Shimabukuro

Remember Jake Shimabukuro? He's the Hawaiian virtuoso ukelele player I blogged about sometime back with a video of him playing While My Guitar Gently Weeps

I've been trolling the internet for a while, and in a fit of boredom, went to YouTube for more videos. And boy, do I have videos.

However, one will have to do for now, because it's 2am in Karachi and I need to be up and at work in another 6 hours.

Enjoy, people.

Touched Beyond Words

The lovely people at NBP gave me a surprise birthday celebration (cum Valentine's) just 10 minutes ago.

They are SO SHWEEEET. And I was SO EMBARASSED. :D

It's amazing how people can still surprise me in such a wonderful way. VDay (or, as we cynics call it, VD Day) may just be a mechanism for people to express affection without embarassment, or even as an excuse not to express affection for the rest of the year, but there's something about today that makes us celebrate love, in all its forms and functions.

And so we should. Even if it's within the depths of our hearts, or in the tiny voice in our soul that says Yes, I want love, we should take a moment to cherish all the sweetness that life gives us and let bitterness take a back seat for once.

Happy Valentine's, all.

I Find The Strangest Things To Love

Was in Karachi recently. Caught these guys on TV. And immediately fell in love. Pakistani contemporary music is soooo underrated.

They are so unknown, that when I asked a few Pakistani colleagues about this group, they actually responded with, "Are they a Pakistani band?". I even had a vigorous discussion with the CD shop owner in my hotel, who *insisted* there was no such band(he looked in 3 stores, apparently), handed me a CD of a group called Mizmaar instead, and then had the cheek to say that I had gotten their name wrong! I NEVER get a name wrong!

Nonsense.

I'll be going back again, and taking this video to prove it to him. HARH.
That will be my mission in Karachi, to *find* this CD!

Well, besides doing actual work, that is....

Will My Friends Stop Laughing at Me Now Because I Own a Palm?

I think so.

About a month ago when the rumours started about a fantastic new Palm handphone to be launched at CES I was cautiously optimistic - not wanting to believe hype, but hoping (against hope) for something that, basically, took everything about the Palm Treo that we all loved and made it amazing.

My fellow Treo fanatics and I were discussing how this was a make-or-break thing for Palm, and if they didn't get it right this time, nothing was going to stop their downward slide into mediocrity and oblivion. They needed to come up with something so awesome, so jaw-droppingly cool that it would make people sit up and take notice.

Ladies and gentlemen, I think this is it.

Tour of Palm's New Stuff on Palm.Com (via TreoCentral)

My command of the English language has failed me this morning. I can't be funny, or pithy, or interesting, even.

Just follow the damned links.


I think my head's going to explode.

I Shall Never Make Fun of Ukelele Players Again

Jake Shimabukuro, uke player with mad skillz.

And guys? Wanna get laid? Learn to play "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" on the guitar. Pronto.
