Congratulations Vettel And Red Bull And Button Too

What a day to be a supporter of Jenson Button and to live in Milton Keynes. The World championship win by Vettel and Red Bull was pretty much a foregone conclusion at this stage of the Formula 1 Season it was just a matter of Vettel scoring a single point to finish it off at Suzuka today which he did. But Jenson was in there to spoil the day a little by taking first at the end of the race. And that was a great start to my Sunday.

As a Milton Keynes resident watching Red Bull do so well throughout the year with Vettel steering the Milton Keynes based teams efforts in the car to victory after victory was fantastic. As a fan of Jenson Button I have enjoyed it just as much to see him trying his best to spoil Vettels efforts and watching him take first today was just brilliant and in the McClaren which was built close to where I was originally born too. The top 2 teams in the Formula 1 Grand Prix’s this year both come out of the UK which shows that whatever you may say we can still produce winning products.

Well done to all the guys and gals in Red Bulls Formula 1 headquarters in Milton Keynes you do our City proud all around the world with the work you do right here.

My Websites and my new Music Search Engine Website

Posted In: Experiments

Another of my many hobbies is playing with websites. A few years back I learnt enough HTML (the coding behind a website) to be a nuisance to the net at large and unleash my monstrosities on an unsuspecting public, or at least the seven or so people who have ever found them. As time went on my thirst for knowledge led me to learn PHP (it makes websites do some other stuff and change stuff) and a couple of other things too.

The above mentioned learning curves turned me onto blogging before it became mainstream, and this blog is one of the little sidelines which keep me amused and give me an outlet for the crap I spout. Another blog I keep is found at http://thealternativetruth.com. And now I am experimenting with a new site which allows anyone to search for music to download. I’m hoping it may make me a little income too as there are ads and links to buy the music from.

The site at http://www.music-search.co.uk  links to Amazon and allows you to listen to song clips before you click the link to buy if you want to.  It also has posters and other links so you can look at your favourite artists in the privacy of your own room. Hopefully someone reading this will let me know how it works for them, and tell others too. If not it’s just an experiment and I’ll try again with something else.

Why not be among the first to try out my new music search engine right now?

After my crazy Germans post, I found this video posted by Top Gear on Facebook. The guy is absolutely hilarious and very animated as he describes the accident he was involved in.

Modern Life A poem by Doug

Checking my emails updating facebook
maybe it’s time I gave twitter a look
140 characters to tell of my life
and then I get a text from my wife

Before I have a chance to reply
the telephone rings in a room nearby
the caller checks she has the right man
I might need insurance they have a plan

I tell her I’m busy and get off the line
my mobile beeps to tell me it’s time
to put it on charge or it will go flat
and no one could ring, we can’t have that

I think back it wasn’t always this way
we didn’t need more than 24 hours a day
just to keep up to date with people unknown
the distractions in life seem to have grown

I’m not a luddite don’t ever think that
but it might be nice to just sit and relax
without all the gadgets, mobiles and such
and talk to each other, would that be too much?
