This is one republican I don’t mind having on my side.

UPDATE: OK so he’s not a Retardican.. I mean republican. Still, I enjoyed his comments.

It’s always been a pain to remember to bring back the TomTom SatNav from my parents house, since it belongs to my mother, it always stays with her and when I need it, I borrow it. Especially when we’re in the USA. But like I said, it’s always a pain, as it can’t be in two places at the same time.

So when TomTom announced they will be releasing their famous NavSat software for the iPhone (back in Feb or March) I was ecstatic. Read More »

World of stewardess uniforms

By Boback | Published: July 26, 2009

Here’s a unique and wonderful website, especially if you are an airline enthusiast. It’s a massive collection of stewardess uniforms (800 and growing), collected by Cliff Muskiet.

It was quite nostalgic to see old IranAir uniforms from early 70s. Big praises to him for managing to get these off IranAir in these troubled times.

Things to do when you’re unemployed (II)

About 3 years ago, I was in the same situation as I am in now. i.e. Unemployed.

Back then I spent most nights and sometimes days watching TV shows I’d always wanted to see and I went through them like a hot knife through butter.

I listed some series I’d watched to completion, and I think it’s time for round two. Read More »

Amazing and calm

By Boback | Published: July 17, 2009

This is just one amazing piece of video. You’ll be relaxed after viewing it. But make sure you see it in HD glory.

Also taken with my fav camera, the Canon 5D Mk II.

Where is their vote?

By Boback | Published: June 25, 2009

I took advantage of the bus going past the filthy hole that is the Iranian embassy, and shot this video. Not a huge amount of protestors were around, but the ones that had turned up were quite loud with music and such.

Maybe I’ll get more tomorrow. Planning on going down there with the DSLR and get some action shots. If they don’t kick my head in, thinking I was an embassy scum.
