Lewis Hamilton – First Win For 2009 Season

Posted by: Sean | Posted on: July 26th, 2009 | 0 Comments

He finally did it, Lewis Hamilton won his first race today for the 2009 season of F1 Racing :D . It has been a long time coming but he definitely deserves it now after having such a slow and terrible start to the season.

As per usual I have only just finished watching the race, I record the races when they are on live and then watch them later. It is very difficult trying to avoid finding out who the winner is of the race for that day. I usually try to stay away from sites such as twitter on race days as I follow a lot of the formula one racers.

The new aero pack that was added to Lewis' car last week has been slightly modified this week, and it has proven to be a great success so far. Hopefully this will be the start to many more successful races for the rest of the season :D .

I have always thought Lewis was the best driver and today he has pulled through again :D . Now there is going to be a four week break until the next race :( The racing teams will all take a week or two off now to rest and no work will be done.

Then once they start back they will be preparing for their next race, and trying to get that bit of extra juice out of their cars for when the qualifying starts.

There was definitely lots of action today in the race, with wheels flying off and drivers dropping out due to mechanical problems. Also there was great head to head action for the position of 1st, second and third.

Here are today’s race results: 1st place: Lewis Hamilton , 2nd place: Kimi Raikkonen and 3rd place: Mark Webber.

Gravatar – Do You Have One?

On many sites nowadays, especially on blogs, whenever you leave a comment a little picture will display in a small square beside your comment. This is known as a gravatar.

A gravatar is a little picture that represents you on the web. It is a simple picture that you can choose to show who you are. It is similar to if you are on a social networking site such as twitter, you will have a profile picture to show who you are.

The way a gravatar works is very simple, you simply go to the Gravatar website here, and then click on sign up. All they ask for is your e-mail address!

So why do they only ask for your e-mail address? Basically that is the only thing they need to have your image follow you on the web. So how does it work? Whenever you are on a site that has the gravatar feature on it, such as this site :D ,  when you leave a comment, it will ask for your e-mail address. By entering your e-mail address into that comment box it then checks to see if you are a gravatar member and if you are it will pull down your image that you chose and then display it next to your comment.

It is really simple and it will give a more personal touch to your comment. On some sites if you do not have a gravatar it just shows the gravatar logo, on my blog here if you do not have your own gravatar, a little cartoon character will show :D .

So go on, get yourself a Gravatar!

A Local Band – Artificial Flight – First Music Video

Posted by: Sean | Posted on: July 25th, 2009 | 0 Comments

A local band here in Dundalk have recently finished making their first music video. Most bands do try and make their own videos. It seems to be a must nowadays for any band big or small :D .

None the less a local band here has made their music video called: Bright White Light by Artificial Flight. This song has always been my favorite off of their album, and I was really happy to hear that they chose that song to be used for their video.

They have recently gotten there own website, I was originally supposed to build it, however one of the other band members went ahead and got it done with someone else that they knew. The site is looking really well and can be found here: http://www.artificialflight.net.

The site is what you would expect from a band, it has all their music on the actual site. I would personally not add all of the band’s music to the site; usually you would add 2 of their most popular songs. The reason for this is so that nobody can download the full album off the site for free!

Which makes having a shop to buy there cd pretty pointless. Why would you buy the cd when you can listen for free on their site! I have the cd already and know that it is worth buying and for only €5 it is definitely worth a listen :D .

Anyway here is there new music video, looks great, enjoy :) .
