Friday, May 23, 2008

This week has another American favorite, greedy bastards presented in the most presentable way possible, screaming for money.
One of my favorite podcasts, Radiolab, covered the trading floor of the New York Mercantile Exchange. It is only ten minutes long and is quite fun. If you enjoy that one and are looking for more, check out their War of the [...]

Needed: (hairy) game developers for exciting new project(s)

Thursday, May 22, 2008

The 23rd scroll, 9th verse, of the ancient texts says:
Beware the beast man, for he is the devil’s pawn. Alone among God’s primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother’s land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make [...]

Friday, May 16, 2008

This week we’re listening and watching the best America has on offer. Even though Zero Punctuation (after the break) is really made in from another nation, it is about grand theft auto which is currently set in New York/Liberty, City. Oh, and your mortagage costs a lot:

“Rapid Deevolution Creates a Lake of Fully-Armored Fish in Just 50 Years”
Team Creationism, meanwhile, has this to say after downing a few brewskis after the big game (HOORAH!):

Ikea Pax wardrobe-cum entertainment center

Monday, May 12, 2008

Like much of the first worlds’ over-fed population, last year I went out and indulged in a flat-screen television. Consequently, like the rest of flat-screen T.V. buyers I found out that my old C.R.T.–based entertainment center was inadequate for the new wideness of L.C.D.

Friday, May 9, 2008

This week my favorite podcasts were The 1UP Show (after the break) and the Joystiq podcast, sampan hats off to them all:
The Joystiq Podcast crew hit their 49th episode this week, Chris Grant, Ludwig Kietzmann and Justin McElroy, are covering random games and lots of GTA4, as expected. The best part is their Philadelphian Vocal [...]

I have always considered myself a big fan of George Lucas’ Star Wars. Having watched all but the first release theatrically, and then having seen the re-releases and then prequels on the big screen, I feel that Star Wars holds a big place in my entertained idea of self.

Caller I.D. Culture

Sunday, April 27, 2008

Since its popular inception, by some estimates about ten years ago, Caller I.D. (the ability to see the phone number that is calling you) has changed the way we communicate. This seemingly simple convenience has turned communication on its ear and transformed its legions of tacit adopters (Caller I.D. was once exclusively a landline pay [...]
