Alice Cooper on the Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock widget - putting the rock into RSI
There's a reason I don't write for any of our neighbouring games sites -- I have the hand-eye co-ordination of someone with no eyes. Or hands. This assessment of my gaming skillz was confirmed when I tried out the Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock widget, which was kindly forwarded to me by Dan on Tech Digest.
Really it's just a case of pressing buttons, but it was still beyond me. However, if you fancy having a go at songs by Alice Cooper, Living Color or, er, Lions, be my guest and have a bash over the page. Don't come to me when you get rock-related carpal tunnel syndrome, though.

Some excellent news for Jamiroquai fans reaches us courtesy of our nerdlinger cousins over at 
I listen to my shower radio when I brush my teeth. Too much information? Anyway, what the experience lacks is the sound of music inside my actual head. I mean, soundwaves bouncing off my teeth, through my jawbone and RIGHT INTO MY HEAD. That's the kind of musical onslaught I could really do with first thing in the morning.
Just under a year until Christmas, folks. So this would be a good time to start thinking of really good gift ideas for next year which you can then forget and beat yourself up about when you find yourself flicking furiously through the Argos catalogue on Christmas eve.
Since skateboarding first appeared way back when, it has been associated with music. I mean, they were developed by surfers wanting to practice on land... I can hear the ten-part harmonies from here! Of course, skaters went on to discover rock and punk, creating an identity around being a stoner drop-out and digging the sounds of snot. So with that, you can now combine the two without tattooing Sham 69 on yer forehead.
In days gone by if you wanted to look like Michael Jackson you tried to find a red leather jacket, learned how to semi-moonwalk and sported a sequinned glove. Failing that, you sported a red anorak, practiced your "hee-hee"s and took an old goalie's glove which you covered in crushed glass, thereby lacerating the limb of anybody to whom you offered a handshake. No? Just me?
