Wow. When did the demoscene go cross-platform? Ante Dominum has been ported to Windows, Linux, and OSX. It’s probably the greatest 64k demo I’ve ever seen ever. Ever! It’s got a catchy little soundtrack and the particle effects are some of the best I’ve seen. It’ll download in half a second and it takes less…

We’ve all seen ‘secret’ safes that look like common household objects. A shaving cream can that unscrews to reveal a storage space inside, for example, or the ol’ hollowed-out book trick. How about some fake skid-marked underpants? I wish I had thought of this first.

The “customer review” for this five foot speaker cable from Monster Cable makes me wonder. Whs the reviewer crying because the sound was SO AWESOME or because he just realized that he spent $1250 on five feet of goddamn speaker cable?

The first few HD-DVD releases are coming out soon, and their packaging indicates that they do indeed support 1080p. The first HD-DVD players will only output at 1080i though, so Blu-Ray is still more attractive for early adopters.

Last night on Southpark Comedy Central caved to terrorists by refusing to allow Mohammed to appear on the show. Of course he was already on it five years ago, but that was before there were international riots. It made me irritated enough to waste time writing a letter to spineless Comedy Central!

Rube Goldberg has been beaten at his own game by Japanese nerds! I wish I was a Japanese nerd. 🙁

This is a good story. Last night we were all excited to play old-school Gauntlet over Xbox Live with our friends Stacy and Steve. They had just gotten their 360 up and running and we were ready to go. So Tammy puts on the Xbox headset and it’s not working. Turns out one of our…

Up until now I was pretty indifferent on the Blu-Ray/HD-DVD battle. Today I’m joining the Blu-Ray fans. The HD-DVD format tops out at 1080i, while Blu-Ray has native support for 1080p/60! I had no idea! And I’m pretty amazed that nobody’s made a bigger deal about this. With a much higher resolution than HD-DVD and…

Bejeweled 2 is a simple game, but it’s a hard game to be really good at. There are times when I think I like it even more than Tetris, and that’s saying a lot. I’ve been playing in Classic mode and I always have a hell of a time breaking past level 11 before running…

Why dual-boot when you can virtualize? Hot on the heels of Boot Camp comes Parallels, a Windows emulator for Intel Macs. It claims to offer “near-native performance” of emulated OSs, of which Windows is merely one of many!
