Chopstork

This has to be one of the coolest games ever

The game is still in development, but there’s a simpler version available for download here

Another Wiimote hack. Johnny Lee at CMU turned the Wiimote into a head-tracking device so that you can look into a 3D world through your TV screen.

Whoah.

I found this one while perusing Flickr. Very Humorous…

Check out photos from the Library of Congress on Flickr Commons (Nice bench shot of Dolores Park).

If this music doesn’t elicit some kind of memory or emotion, don’t bother with the rest of this post:

From College Humor, a series about the Street Fighters, ten years later. “Tigerrr. Tigerrrr. TIgrupppercut!” I totally remember pausing to peek at Chun-Li’s panties.

Think how mysterious the “Save” icon must be for kids using computers now. The icon is a floppy disk. There are people on computers that have never seen a floppy disk. Someone tell me how kids interpret the floppy drive “Save” icon these days.

Will optical drives (CD/DVD) go the way of the floppy too? Apple’s new laptop doesn’t have one!

Sugar free gum linked to weight loss

Sorbitol, used to sweeten sugar free gums and a known laxative, is linked to diarrhea in heavy gum chewers. Most U.S. gums use aspartame instead of sorbitol, so we’re ok. Or not. I chew Orbit gum. First ingredient: sorbitol. (And it has aspartame too). Sweet. Maybe this is why I poop all the time??? I’ve been chewing laxative after lunch.

Next time you see Vanessa and her shiny smile telling you about “that just brushed clean feeling,” think diarrhea.

The research was published in the British Medical Journal … aka BM Journal. Ha!

We were watching Clemson almost beat UNC (basketball), with their orange-clad coach. Mike and I decided we’re going to start our own school. Our team colors will be denim. Jeans and jean jackets as warm ups, denim cut-offs for shorts…

If you’re like me (and I always assume that you are), then you’ve probably been disappointed by clicking in-vain on one of the random and tantalizing thumbnails displayed within the Chopstork Banner above. Fortunately, my flight to Seattle was delayed by 3+ hours, so I had some time on my hands to add some new fancy features to the banner. Go ahead…hover on a thumbnail. Go ahead…click on a thumbnail. Glorious.

I’ve tested the new fanciness in FF, Safari, IE7, and Opera, but please let me know if things don’t look right (screen shots are helpful).

One year ago today Laura and I left San Francisco to come back to Virginia. It’s been a year already?!
