This is how I understand it:

The Album Cover Game

1. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random. The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2. Go to http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3. The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your first album.

3. Go to http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days. The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4. Use Photoshop (or similar) to put it all together.

It’s weird how strongly this concept appeals to me. I suspect it’s because I have an affinity for extracting awesome band names from everyday strings of words. Let’s see what band is born of fate today:

Not bad!

Perhaps you’ve seen better, but this is the nicest desktop I’ve ever had the personal pleasure of working with.

Yes, indeed, my new notebook arrived bright and early on Tuesday, and I’ve been having plenty of fun with it so far. I’ll be writing a full review in the near future – not just for the blog, but for the retailer’s customer reviews as well. If the CoD4 and Steam icons are any indication, these will be ringing endorsements, to say the least.

As an aside, I was on my way home from work last night and saw this sitting in a storefront display. I’d seen this set of knives in the past but never noticed its name: “The Ex”. Of course. What a funny horrible, societally damning notion.

But isn’t that the kind of society we do live in – however, where only this particular build of figure might be displayed in such a fashion. All I’m saying is, there’s a target market, and they ain’t sporting beards – mostly. They are, however, the audience who would raise its hands in protest at the thought of this:

So it’s not the greatest ‘shop job in the world, but it’s more than you’ll ever see in a storefront display. Just a little something to think about.

After some meticulous photo editing and several interface design changes, I present you with this:

I say “interface” because I was thinking that it might be useful for a gaming clan website, or something along those lines. Click for the full, and enjoy.
