DISQUS

Thanks for the mention. I wanted to help shead some light on exactly what we're building here at Cliqset.

Cliqset is *not* a social network. Yes, the user-facing site has some social features but they're merely designed to help users build their social identity (friends, profile, activities, status, etc). That's one aspect of Cliqset but not our focus.

Cliqset is all about the platform. We've build a suite of underlying APIs that allow 3rd party application developers to not only read aggregate social content about you but instead act as first class citizens with your social data. They have the ability to shape and mold it as if it was their own, with your authorization of course.

We're trying to create an eco-system of social information sharing that's completely transparent to the social application but still hyper focused on what the user wants, where the user wants it.

We're pretty excited about this. It's a completely new take on how social information is consumed, reshaped and reused.

What's up with the red number and letterings?
Lack of contrast. Hope they change that soon.
The red strip also needs to be toned down.
Sticks out like a sore thumb for me.

I'm nearing the end of the album as I started writing this and I'm for the first time thankful for it. I enjoy MMJ immensely, but this album is sub-sub-par.

"At Dawn" and "The Tennessee Fire" were not particularly my cup of tea, but both heralded great promise, and, for me, every second song was something I could enjoy, not love, but enjoy regardless.

"It Still Moves" was brilliant. This was the potential beginning to be fufilled. "Golden" was the only iffy track there for me - I am not a fan of country music generally, and this is no different - while the rest persuaded me to air guitar. "Dancefloors", "One Big Holiday", "Run Thru", "Steam Engine" are some of the greatest tracks and are easily in my top fifty.

"Z" was a bit of a surprise. The craziness of "Wordless Chorus", "Off The Record" and "Into The Woods" threw me for a loop initially, but I grew to love it. Tracks like "Lay Low" and "Dondante" were what I craved from MMJ and "Okonokos" delivered the live versions better than I could have hoped for.

"Evil Urges"; I had high hopes for it. The title sounded interesting, the track titles peculiar.

The title track is obscure and immediately gives us the impression that the old MMJ has passed on. After the five minutes of the track, I found myself disappointed. The promise that "Z" held for MMJ and their experimentation is unfilling here.

"Touch Me I'm Going To Scream" and "I'm Amazed" are the only two tracks up to track nine that I've truly enjoyed.

"Highly Suspicious" is random, catchy, but still on the lower end of the previous albums' less interesting works. Jim James' voice - one of my favourite aspects of the band - is mutilated here, however. The backup vocals are... strange, as is the random manical laughter. Still, I can find myself listening to this again despite this. This will definitely be a hit or miss track.

"Sec Walkin'" is boring, just plain boring; "Look At You" is dull and plain; "Thank You Too!" has little interest either; and "Two Halves" is pretty much the same as the others. Not a good middle section, people.

"Librarian" is a tad odd. The sex fantasy is something we've probably all had cross our minds, and a song about it would either be awesome or appalling, but this finds the middle ground. It isn't uninteresting, but it isn't something you want to hear again quickly, either.

Having just finished it, I enjoyed "Alumunium Park", but I have a funny feeling that is because it is better than the wrecks before it.

-time passes-

"Remnants" is a nice return to more typical MMJ territory. I can find myself tapping my foot to this one.

"Smokin' From Shootin'" has a slow start, but then picks up and is something I'd listen to again, definitely. It has a catchy mid-section and a nice closer.

"Touch Me I'm Going To Scream Pt. 2" is epic. It starts of hauntingly from the close of "Smokin' and Shootin'" and enters this catchy, foot stompin' riff nearly ninety seconds into it. Jim James sounds excellent in this song. Around 2:30, we get a weird set of sound effects on top, which are both distracting and, eventually, intriguing. This plays out over eight glorious minutes - though the ending is quite lackluster. The first six and a half minutes of this song alone has made the album worth treking through. This track is a keeper, people.

"Good Intentions" is a useless addition that lasts four seconds. God knows why this is on here. It doesn't offer anything to the album. We have screams and someone saying "Okay, cool" to end the album. Riiiiiiight. Thanks for that one.

In the end, "Evil Urges" is a real hit and miss album. There are decent tracks, epic tracks, and disgustingly dull tracks in these fifty-five minutes. Some will certainly enjoy it far more than I do. I apologize to them for the negative review - I am a massive fan, and pray they one day visit Australia on a tour - but I can not find myself enjoying this album anywhere near as much as the rest. For the first time with MMJ, I leave the room disappointed.

Must Listens:
Touch Me I'm Going To Scream Pts 1 & 2
I'm Amazed
Remnants
Smokin' From Shootin'

Downloaded it. Listened to two songs. Deleted it all.

Enough said.

You should set it to email your ISP too, they'll love receiving all those messages.

.. it could be USB flash memory that redirects the contents of the Hiberfile to itself. Pressing the ecobutton would trigger software (like media keys on a multimedia keyboard) that triggers Hibernation and then tells Windows to write the Hibernation data to X: (drive where the ecobutton flash memory is). At that point, the system shuts down quicker, and restarts almost as fast.

You know, Ireland entirely ruined the whole sexy Catholic school girl thing for me. Once you've seen plenty of actual Catholic school girls, all pasty and pimply, it's difficult to separate the reality from the fantasy. I imagine that, in the same way, few doctors have a naughty nurse fetish.

You had me until "Margaret Cho vehicle" (which would have to be an SVU...thank you, I'll be here all week, try the veal). Unless I haven't been paying attention, she doesn't exactly have a storied career in cinema, does she?

I think it says "I put no thought into this gift, everything else was closed, and I didn't even include one of those cheap roses on the counter that dies tomorrow."

glad you like the update. any more improvements i can make? feel free to comment. there are still some original icons there i plan to change in the near future

updated icons now bear the union jack flag as requested.
hope thats what you were after.

I give you an anthem for 2010:

Strong work!

Wow, that's a lot of goofy product. The only one I will defend is the Wifi detector. I've always wanted one of those, but have never bothered to buy one.


There are plenty of times when I want to access my email or look something up on my laptop, but would rather not pull it out to check if there's a wifi signal. The little keychain thingie is a dorkiness-reducer.

Heh, yeah, that is kind of a fast ball over the middle of the plate, isn't it?


Quite innocently, I actually originally wrote:



"Wow, that is a big box. Can you fit in it?"



But I deleted the second sentence because it sounded, well, indistinctly rude.



But it is a really big box.

Wow, that is a big box.


Good luck with the printin'.

Are you PayPal enabled? If so, I'll buy some.


"Would you buy a calendar of me and my teammates like, for example, wearing our hockey jerseys and looking all cute and suchlike?"



That depends. How hot is the rest of the team, compared to, say, Brendan Shanahan?

My favourite has always been:


"He couldn't get it up (over the sprawling goaltender)."

Yeah, I got pretty damn bored myself. My wife and I decided the whole megaphone thing was pretty passive-aggressive - he'd go to the back of the stage and hide behind amps before he'd use it and turn his back to the crowd, almost like he didn't want to confront the audience directly in the fear that we'd completely turn against him. But yet he still couldn't keep himself from complaining. Maybe if he didn't take so long screwing around in silence between songs, people wouldn't call out so much. Of course, then the band comes out after the break and does the exact opposite of the pregnant pauses - a half-hour continuous jam that was interesting at times but otherwise just got tedious.


Still some great songs, though, and what a voice. But I don't feel any need to see another live performance from him.

They missed 'Lizbee', which I have added.


I wonder how they're going to source these badboys?

If that's your biggest eco-sin, you're in pretty good shape. I give you permission to whack a couple of baby seals in celebration. I call it the 'mammal offset' program.
