So, in the last seven days there have been 5 people die I think it is. 


First Ed McMahon, can't say I really know who he is, but he's not related to Vince McMahon. He died around the age of 80 and his Wikipedia page is pretty long so he must have done something good in his life.


Then Farrah Fawcett died, once again, don't really know her. I checked Google and she was looking good for her age. I've heard her name before so she must be well known. Kinda sucks she died a few hours before Michael Jackson because now she'll barley be remember.


Then of course Michael Jackson, of course this is the headline of pretty much every newspaper. I just remember I was on Twitter when all of sudden he's in Hospital then he died, then he came back, and then died again.
Here's a video by Jon Lajoie with his view on Michael Jackson's death;

Yeah, I kind of agree with him. Everyone all of sudden is in love with him even though they wouldn't have been last week.
I liked Michael Jackson's music but he's not my favourite music artist ever so I'm not really too bothered.


Then earlier this week sometime Paul Burchill's brother died. no one really picked up on this one, I mean I don't even know his name, just the name of his brother and that's because he's a wrestler. :)


And finally, Billy Mays, this is very upsetting. I was really surprised when I found out about this as well and it upsets me more than any of the other deaths this week.


R.I.P guys, say hi to Kurt Cobain for me.
 

I just went on Youtube and noticed a few changes. the title of all the videos has the name of the author next to it plus some other details underneath it like what year it was made. I also noticed some buttons above the videos, a 'dim the lights' button, a 'change size' button and a 'open in new window' button.


Now does that sound familiar?
Yeah, Newgrounds have the exact same buttons, in fact, I blogged about it last month. So obviously Newgrounds must of had them first, but I can't imagine Youtube, such a high profile site to copy off Newgrounds, but the buttons are the exact same so it can't really be a coincidence.


I don't see why Youtube even has the lights button, it makes the whole site look weird. Newgrounds always dimmed the lights before this new widescreen add on so I can see why they have the button.


Of course the person who made these may just work for Newgrounds and Youtube. Although it was PhyscoGoldfish who made it from Newgrounds. This is confusing :S

 

The Art Portal is the newest portal to Newgrounds, it was added yesterday. It just allows people to post art they've made, which if you've seen my art portfolio will know this could come in handy for me.
I never really used DeviantArt but just because this is Newgrounds I'm sure I'll use it a lot.

Here's my first image I've submitted, please vote 5, thank dudes!

There's a lot of new films coming out this summer including Terminator Salvation, Transformers 2, Night at the Museum 2, Twilight New Moon. A lot of my friends have said they want to see these films. Can I just say the only film I'm thinking of seeing out of that list is Terminator. The film looks great but to be honest I don't care much for Terminator, it never really jumped out at me, but the new film looks nice. Night at the Museum 2 is just the first one with some new characters, seriously every character from the first film is in this one, even though they're in a new museum. Transformers 2... I'll have to write another blog post about how much I don\t want to see that...


Anyway, back on topic, a film no one mentioned was The Hangover. I saw the trailer and it seemed good, someone told me they'd seen it and would place it in their top 3 comedy films ever, although his top 2 comedy films didn't seem very good.
My sister told me she was seeing it and asked if I'd like to come with her and her friend. I thought it would be kind of awkward but I did want to see this film.
We drove to my sister friends house but she wasn't there, her boyfriend was who was also coming, he let us in while we waited. I talked a bit to her boyfriend and some other guy who was living with them, he had a nice beard and wasn't wearing a t-shirt. nice ;)
When my sisters friend got back we had to wait for her boyfriend to have a shower. The film started at 8:45 and it was 8:40 by this time.
She told an amusing story about her friend who knocked a man of his bike while driving and then didn't help him but instead got out, walked past him tot he pub.


We left their house at about 9:00, got there about 9:20. When we bought our tickets we asked how much of the film we missed, he only said 5 minutes, so we all got student tickets and rushed into the film.


I don't want to give too much of the film away, basically four bro's go to Las Vegas for a stag night, the next day they have a huuuuuge hangover and lose the man who's gonna get married. The look in their pockets and find tags and tickets etc. from where they were last night and traced their steps and go on one crazy adventure.
The ending is great I thought, it all wraps up, it's kind of like a mystery how it all pieces together.


I definitely recommend you see it, I didn't find myself cracking up during the film but it defiantly had it's moments.

 

I got a letter from Google in the mail today, I was kind of excited as excited as I thought it might be my cheque from AdSense, or a letter saying my account has been disable. 
In fact, it was neither, it was a letter advertising Google AdWords. Basically when you search something on google a list of ads come up on the right hand side, I always notice them but I never look at them. Basically, if you sign up with Google AdWords, you can have your site up in those ads, every time someone clicks the ad you have to pay a small fee.
I don't really have any need for this but the letter came with a free advertising worth £50 which I guess I should use.


So if you need more advertising for your site I guess this could help, you can set how much you pay and stuff like that. I'll just stick with Adsense for the time being.
