Jam Session 2.0 - A Virtual Jam Session

I first heard this over on Lifehacker but could not resist posting it here.
I was completely blown away when I heard Jam Session 2.0 with these very talented artists:

Emcee: Dumbfoundead

Singer: Esna Yoon www.youtube.com/esnathesinger

Emcee: Herbal T (Portugese/Spanish/English)

Piano: Lukas (YoungPianoTV)

Bass: Chris Hong www.myspace.com/hangukhellking

I love the combination of Piano and Guitar most but the whole thing works so well.
What is even more amazing is "8 people with 5 instruments from 4 Continents speaking 3 languages for 1 song.Brian at CAIN MOSNI thought of a cool concept and coordinated a virtual "jam session" with musicians from all over the world!"

From this I understand they were jamming together in their separate abodes virtually or online, that is this was created "live" and not merged and edited.

The song can be downloaded for free from Dumfoundead's website, which I have already done.

Personal Mini Update
As usual I'm apologizing for not blogging. I had started several posts including one on Women smoking on NHS premises while in NHS care, which I did not complete and then lost track of. Uni's started again, pretty intense this term. I am also getting a motorbike, one of my dreams, been wanting one since I could legally ride one (that was 6 years ago). Motorcycling is a different culture here than in Mauritius. Here your friends see it as way cool or totally dangerous and try to talk you out of it. So it wasn't surprising my friends did not actually believe I was getting a bike after all these years. Anyway I should soon be taking the delivery of a silver Yamaha YBR 125. Yes only a 125 which I am going to ride on a provisional license until I do my test in the summer (I'm doing my Compulsory Basic Training tomorrow). Very excited... and in big debt, but worth it.

New Moon by Stephenie Meyer - A Review by a guy

I was actually going to write about responses to sneezes over the world and their meanings. I had even started my research at work asking everybody what responses they knew about or had in their country of origin. This was just curiosity and I was very intrigued at how the responses differed. However their is already a fairly large list over on Wikipedia. The majority of responses involve wishes for good health or invoking God in accordance to one's religion. I did manage to find some additional responses; in Poland Na zdrowko is used instead of Na zdrowie for smaller children although the meaning ([to your] "Health" remains the same. Certain Indians would say "Jai" meaning "Victory" and Sikhs would say "Waheguru" to refer to God.

Instead I am doing a quick review of New Moon. I read New moon pretty quickly after Twilight. It had a faster pace and was an easier read. The continuation was appropriate but New Moon seemed a bit rushed, it was a fairly wide swing and change in circumstances in the story were brought on very quickly. It was easier to identify with the main character Bella in New Moon and this meant I could enjoy the story a bit more. While the first half of the book did again concentrate on Bella's feelings etc, the resultant plot gave New Moon more of an appeal for me.

I had recently read Graceling by Kristin Cashore (Great Book but with a cramped and rushed ending, did not find the time to review) which mentioned Twilight in comparison. This was not justified for me but New Moon did appease that opinion with its faster pace and more fantasy-esque plots. And yes I am currently reading Eclipse, I'm going to see the Saga through and then hopefully get stuck into Robin Hobb's new book The Dragon Keeper which I had been putting off till the holidays to enjoy it better.
