A topic titled Amazing Rare Def Leppard is gonna get clicked on right. I came across one and did. This was the video. Give this a couple of minutes to get going.. trust me.
Fantastic video from Def Leppard
The summary said “This is a Def Leppard Parody. I made it after I saw a lot of shreds on youtube like StSander and others did. So take it easy, it’s only a parody! Have Fun!”
The other Shreds are also way up there on the madness scale. Even better is that it reminded me to post the sublime Chris de Burger video from Cartel Communique.

UPDATE: There’s seems to be a problem with the official app at the moment. You can’t get into your Facebook admin page to change the settings. They’ve also added an forced “is twitter:” prefix to the status. Not cool. An alternative is Twittersync, but i’m hoping Twitter sort out their official client sharpish.
I’ve upgraded the site to Wordpress 2.5 and everything seems cool so far. It’s fixed some issues i had with posts from Ecto containing YouTube embed code, so the site should looks right again on Firefox 3 Beta. Post a comment if anything seems odd.
Also new is the Twitter status on the sidebar and i’ve added my Twitter and LinkedIn links to the Blogroll and Stalk page.
I’ll update the site soon, but i’m just cooling down from a hectic few weeks at work. I’ve just finished 2 pitches and delivered some nice work for Sony PSP. I’ll post details soon. For now it’s feet up for the bank holidays.
