YouTubeDoubler is a fun site that let’s you be creative and make your own mashups, blending two youtube-cips of your choice together! Here‘s one that Henrik threw together, mashing N.E.R.D with an outraged video game “enthusiast”. Send us your mashes!

The Office E-mail Translator

We have a major blog post in the works about the great humour that is to be find in e-mail correspondence here in Dubai. But, in the meantime, we stumbled across this Office E-mail Translator over at Maxim.com, that should work fantastically anywhere in the world. Czech it!

There’s obviously a lot of talk about Toyota these days, so we’ll be brief with this one, as we certainly dont want you to come down with a serious case of Toyota-overload.
Anyway, so Lazhar discovered yesterday that the Irish Toyota site had been hacked! We thought that was really funny..!

Now get back to work!

Apparently Photoshop turns 20 one of these days! Here’s über-legend John Knoll (founder of Photoshop and VFX wizard at ILM) reminiscing about the good ol’ days. Oh you get some bonus comments about his views on stereoscopic cinema etc as well.

Pannekoeken

Here’s a tip: If you don’t feel like paying 31 dirhams for one (1) pannekoeken (which is Dutch for pancake, but that’s no excuse) at More, why not make your own? It’s super easy, dirt cheap and easily as tasty as More’s, if not even better!

Recipe (for around 12 pancakes)
* 2½ cups of flour
* ½ tea spoon salt
* 6 cups of mjölk
* 3 eggs
* 3 tea spoons butter

Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Add half the milk and whisk to a smooth batter.
Whisk in the rest of the milk and eggs. Let it rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
Melt half the butter in a frying pan and add it into the batter. Use rest of butter to fry thin pancakes.

Serve with your favourite jam; or just some sugar; or why not some fresh chopped fruits?
Cost per pancake at home: around 1-2 dirham.
Cost per pancake at More: 31 dirham.

PS. We actually like More. They have a lot of nice food, and the ambiance is very “un-Dubaian”. But they DO have overpriced pancakes. Sorry, “pannekoeken”.

8 Rules For Ending The World

We’re quite certain that you’ve seen the trailer for this winter’s big blow-everything-up-blockbuster “2012″. It is of course directed by blow-everything-up-meastro Roland Emmerich (who also did The Day after Tomorrow and Independence Day), and given his love to blow everything up, it might be interesting to read an interview about his 8 rules for ending the world, over at io9.com
