Google Cheat Sheet

August 28th, 2007

Update your Google Cheat Sheet. Man alive, they just keep growing.

Modern Life has some interesting bits to look at if you’re into web design. Their retro Mac OS Wordpress theme is neat, although I don’t think I’d want to run it here.

Joel on Software

August 21st, 2007

Joel on Software has a bit of trouble with the latest Microsoft Office packaging.

Videogame History

Wulfe

If you thought you were good at Guitar Hero, wuLFe79 is here to shame you.

Return Of the Jedi

July 19th, 2007

It was posted here once upon a time, but server moves pushed it offline a long while ago. If you missed out on the Return Of the Jedi book/record set and want the mp3’s, I’ve thrown it online over at Press Random.

If you bought an iPhone and hate AT&T, go back your old cellphone and use the iPhone soley as an iPod and for WiFi.

E3 Insider

July 10th, 2007

So another E3 is happening, and if you are a videogameaholic and need to see some new game footage, head over to the E3 Insider.

BlogBackupOnline

July 6th, 2007

Thanks to Paul for the tip to check out BlogBackupOnline. The idea is neat, I’m currently importing this site to it. Fellow bloggers may want to take a look.

The Steampunk Workshop

June 19th, 2007

The Steampunk Workshop has some neat looking projects. The current one, an LCD monitor, is particularly cool. I can’t see myself shelling out the cash to possibly destroy something though.

Do you reminisce about old-school table-top arcade games? Dig the movie “Minority Report”’s Techie scenes? Have easy access to $5000 and $10,000? Microsoft’s new ’surface’ PC will satisfy your needs when it’s released this winter. Reminds me of NYU’s Jeff Han’s similar project. If you’re in NYC on June 9, go to the Sheraton NY [...]

Watch the dances from World of Warcraft and the ones that inspired them. Warning: geek content within.

TVersity

May 15th, 2007

If you’re looking to stream video or audio over your game console then check out TVersity. I set it up last night and was watching a divx-encoded flick through my Xbox 360 in under 5 minutes. Pretty sweet!

Hackety Hack

April 26th, 2007

Hackety Hack is a neat application that teaches basic coding. It’s meant to be as easy as possible and the beta is actually quite good. I found no spyware but as it’s not hosted here, use your own discretion.

Murkilla

March 29th, 2007

Well done fake movie trailer, but really only entertaining at all to people who play World of Warcraft.

Netvibes

March 21st, 2007

Friend of the site Paul sent me an email to check out Netvibes. This portal/home page is pretty cool if a bit cluttered when you start. If you’re into tweaking out your starting point online then check it out.

I never had the 1982 Atari Club Christmas Catalog or I would have had that awesome Berzerk shirt.

Want every Nintendo NES game ever licensed? Get your wallets out and mortgage the house, it’s not a cheap auction. 670 games plus accessories for (as of this writing) a little over $20,000 US. Yikes!

SideKiq

January 9th, 2007

I rarely write about new search engines since they are pretty much a dime a dozen these days, but SideKiq not only has meta-bility searching (has several traditional and vertical search engines, including Ask.com’s AskX), but also has a great unique layout.
