My favourite flickr contact would have to be Powerbooktrance – http://flickr.com/powerbooktrance  – He has an amazing personality, and he always makes me giggle! He’s awesome! Anyway.. I was one day browsing his sets & groups on flickr and I found the ‘Lick My iPod’ group! It was a group in which he started, and he got a few of his friends to lick their ipods to start the group! I thought it was an awesome group so off I went to take my photo, but it was a horrible one from my iPhone camera so I decided to wait until my Nikon arrived.. Then today I took one! Here it is.. Oh, and do you like my new invention? The iRing? lol =D

CRUMPLER NOTEBOOK BAGS

Boo! We meet again! :P

About 3 weeks ago I entered a competition on mactalk.com.au – The competition was – ‘Call us with a story about your Mac that makes us giggle.’ 
Naturally, I thought of the time when I first went into a cafe with my White Macbook. A transvestite asked me how much my Macbook was for sale for. I said it wasn’t for sale. She(?) then asked me if she fu*&ed me, could she have it for free! My reply was.. No, clearly. Anyway I called them on the Tuesday and then on the Wednesday I got a call from an unknown number. I was wondering who it was and found out it was Anthony Agius, the owner of the site. He had told me that I won the bag and about a week later I got an email from the lovely Natasha asking me for some info to send the bag out to me! Today I got it! I didn’t think I’d get it so soon, but I did! I was wondering what it was that the Fed-Ex delivery guy wanted seen as though I’ve lost track of what I’ve bought online. (My credit card hasn’t lost track though. Damn!!) I opened the big package to find some beautiful clear plastic paper with the crumpler logo on it. I opened up the plastic bag to find my black ‘Part & Pacel’ bag in it! It is an awesome bag! It looks as though the storage has no limits! :P Honestly, the bag feels as thought it’s made out of a nylon material and it just gets bigger and bigger as you stretch it! The bag has so many storage compartments that it’s unbelievable! I am loving it! The only thing that really puzzled me was the bag strap! The strap is strage. It has a clip, which connects to the back of the bag (Look at the photo’s) and it’s annoying adjusting the bag strap! another thing is the amount of Clips on the bag! There are heaps! 3. 3 is not a large number but the velcro is strong enought to keep the bag closed, is there need for an extra 2 clips? Also, there is a clip on the bag strap which attaches to the back of the bag. I have NO idea what it’s for so on the weekend I am going to make my way down to the Crumpler store in Perth! I might even buy myself a camera bag, as I don’t have one for my Nikon yet! Apart from this all is good!! Here are some photo’s of the bag itself. I haven’t worn it so the condition is A+. Also, because I haven’t put all of my gadgets in it as of yet I have no idea how much it can fit, even though the bag looks big… Looks can be deceiving!! :)  

Here are some photo’s!

Boo! I’m back……. So in my last blog post it looked like I had about 9 emoticons!! I am becoming obsessed. I guess it started when the first iPhone app to enable emoticons came out back in jan or feb.. Yes… My brain is frying.. Well.. I hope not! Anyway back to the subject!! I love emoticons! They express my moods! They are an awesome way to speak when you can’t be bothered typing I love you you could just type I <3 you! – Easier, for the lazy people anyway =D.. This is a pointless blog post but I thought I should let you all know about my obsession! You know, I have a big techology post I need to type up. I just need to get a move on and write it! I have bought a Nikon D60 and an awesome device called the ‘Canopus’! Subscribe to my blog (Save me in your favourites) and you shall be entertained!!

Because I haven’t been blogging much these days you should probably follow me on Twitter: @iCarluccio, and while your at it add my Poodle Zoe too! @TheiPoodle LOL =D

Enjoy your week! ;) — Carl :P

WITCHERY MAN – MALES CLOTHING

Hey everyone!

I’m really sorry that I haven’t been blogging as frequently as I used to, but I have been on school holidays and I guess I’m confident enough to say I’ve done a lot to amuse me! :P
I’ve bought this awesome gadget which lets me watch and import all of those old 8mm video cassettes! :) I’ll blog about that later on!

Anyway.. I am a lover of clothes! I don’t splurge as much as I used to since we’re in a recession and all :( .. lol. But, I manage to buy a few pieces here and there. I am a fan of Witchery. My mum works for them, and their female clothes are beautiful. Then, in December of last year mum came home with some awesome news of them opening up a male department! I was head over heals! :P
I wasn’t allowed to write or tell anyone seen as though it was a company secret! It opened up in Early April (Late March?) and about a week ago I went to visit their Subiaco store. I went with my mum, dad and brothers (Yes.. The tribe came along. lol =D). Because my mum works there we get a great discount! :P So, I bought a very nice cardigan! I wore it tonight and it is very comfortable! :) Witchery Man has some other great clothes too.. This label is one of my favourites, along with Peter Alexander! :)

Here are some of their clothes!

PERTH ZOO VISIT

Hey guys. Sorry for not posting for a while. I have not had time/interesting things to write about. My family has been hit with a lot of tragedy. 2 weeks ago my great grandfather broke his hip after he fell. We (All of my family) have been stressing a lot, as I’m sure you could imagine. Today, my grandmothers 1st cousin died. She was broken into during the night and she had a heart attack and died. It was on the Chanel 7,9,10 news. My mum’s car was on the news too! LOL =D I know I shouldn’t be laughing, but the fact that her car was on the news made me smile =D.

Anyway.. Despite all of the tragedy, today my cousin invited us to the Zoo. She owns a childcare centre so she asked if we’d like to hop along! =D We had a great day, and it was a cool excuse for me to be a kid again. lol.. Except..  I don’t think a kid would have a Nikon camera around their neck. haha =D

Here are some photo’s I took! :) I am loving my new Nikon! I’ll blog about it soon! :-)

 

Enjoy! :-)

SPECK CASE FOR MT MACBOOK PRO. PIMPOUT PART 1.

{ Tags: , , , } · { Leave a Comment }

About a month ago I found that my friend Michael @_iStone_ from twitter was really liking his Red Speck, See thru case. That same day I managed to scratch the bottom of my Macbook Pro *Cries*. I hopped online, and bought a blue Speck see-thru case. Let me tell you. This case is HOT! The blue is a great shade. It’s not too dark, nor is it too light! At night when you have the Flurry screen saver on, with lid nearly all the way down it looks beautiful… 

Here is the packaging:

Speck See-thru

Anyway.. This case doesn’t add any weight, and it looks amazing on the Macbook Pro. It is very very glossy, and it feels like the back of the iPhone 3G. Nice!

Go out, and buy this case because your new Macbook/pro… It’s amazing!!! =D

TRADITIONAL GOOD FRIDAY ITALIAN MEAL…

Happy Easter Saturday everyone! :)

Every Good Friday since my family have been civilized, everyone that is part of the 2 families (Either my Mothers side, or my fathers side) get together and they cook up a storm!!!! At yesterday lunch time I went to my nonna’s (Grandmother) brothers house and we had fish – Ok, when I mean fish.. I mean – Salmon (Grilled), Squid + Prawns (Fried), Fish pie -Tasty- (Baked–obviously), baccala – baccala is like a soup with olives, fish, tomato and some other yummy stuff – It isn’t really a soup – It’s weird – It’s baked, and then water etc etc is added to it.. You might just want to google it =D, then we had a variety of salads – Potato, Green, prawn, +++…

In the evening we went to my dad’s sisters house.. She also cooked up a storm of 3 foods! The 3 foods were – Panzaroti, Calzone, and Pizza.. She made 9 pizzas – all with different toppings, none of which included meat..

Calzone

Calzone

Calzone is like a pie – It has pastry on the bottom, sides, and top. In the centre there is Tuna, tomato and onion.

Pizza

Pizza

Pizza – Well.. We all know what pizza is =D

Panzarotti

Panzarotti

Panzarotti’s – I have no idea how to explain it… ;-) But I’ll describe it to you. it is like ravioli’s – except 5x the size, and in the middle you have tomato + onion, or ricotta. I have photo’s so you can see what I mean.. =D – Oooooh. I love wikipedia – This is a caption from them.. ‘It consists of a pocket of dough filled with varying amounts of melted mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce, and any reasonable number of fillings, which is then wrapped, salted, and baked.’ Taken from wikipedia.com

MICROSOFT ARE HITTING APPLE.. HARD

{ 10/04/2009 @ 1:55 am } · { Everything Else, Technology }
{ Tags: , , , , , , } · { Comments (4) }

Allright.. So Microsoft have decided on a new advertising campaign (Which again, really sucks) which targets Mac users! They are basically saying that Apple only make a nice looking computer, the insides are rubbish! This is the biggest load of $#%@ I’ve ever heard. The latest AD involves a boy who wants a Blu-Ray player in his computer.. The Blu-Ray player clearly isn’t ready for a notebook – Why do you think Apple haven’t put it in any of their products.. Another AD is saying that Mac’s are too cool & expensive for the ‘average’ person.. This again is another load of $#%^!!! I have cousins, friends etc etc who aren’t the most ‘cool’ people – And they all have Macbooks… SO – Clearly these ADs are targeted at Steve Jobs & Jonny Ive to get back @Apple for making the ‘Get Mac’ ads.. The Apple ADs are a lot more humorous than these Microsoft ADs – I’m not just saying this because I’m an Apple fan boy.. It’s true. If it’s black, it’s black. If it’s white, it’s white… That’s how I look at things.

Here are the ADs…

Enjoy.. :)

Wow… And I thought my Macbook Pro looked hot before I pimped it.. :)

So, I’ve bought a Speck hard case which is blue (It’s coming in the mail shipping directly from speck in America), and then tonight I’ve been going crazy looking for website’s stickers.. You know like.. Digg, Twitter, OMGPOP, etc etc – But i’ve had no luck at all in finding them!!! I’ve searched Ebay, cafepress, and another awesome website called Zazzle.com!! I’ll dedicate another blog post to Zazzle later on in the day – But, for now let’s keep talking about the new pimp in town ;) ..

So, basicly I want me Macbook to look like this but with a blue speck case on it… Hot! :)

Tagged Macbook Pro!!

Tagged Macbook Pro!!

Lately I have gotten into new icons & hot wallpapers.. I love style so my wallpapers now represent me! :) I get most of my wallpapers from: pixelgirlpresents.com and my icons — Well.. I get my icons from all over the place! I use candybar by iconfactory to change them! Icon factory comes in a trial version, but you can buy it for (I think it was) $50US.
