I’m done w/ school, which means I’m now catching up on work work, freelance work, project work, cc competition work, oh, and catching on stuff like cleaning/paying bills and all the other stuff I’ve been putting off.
For those looking for things to read while I try to be productive, sites with better link lists than mine:
- Apple Pro/Filme: John D. Lowry – using PowerMacs and proprietary software algorithms for film restoration
Black Isle (and Fallout 3) has been canned. Too bad, looks like it was shaping up.
Someone was asking about WinAMP -> web plugins. Here’s what I found in a quick search:
- Do Something
- Currently Hearing
- now playing
- AMIP – IRC, local app integration
- What’s Playing (WA3)
Winamp 5.0 is out now, and it kicks much ass. It’s everything WinAMP 3 should have been. I’m really digging their media library. Does everything you’d think it should, and leaves the goddamn playlist alone. So, where’s the rendezvous enabled mac version?
WA2 core + Wasabi skin support, media library. Also, has global hot keys, which kick butt; WA3 is shelved, but Wasabi development continues. Hmm, here’s an iPod plugin, apparently…
Return of the King is currently tracking 100% on both Metacritic and the Tomatometer.

- We are all nerds now
- Powerpoint Makes You Dumb
- SiteBar – The Bookmark Server for Personal and Team Use; fairly slick
- Passwird Deals – some not bad deals for the consumer season (add to FatWallet, Hot Deals, etc.)
- Take No Prisoners – disturbing Iraqi execution/Marine interview; not to rain on the Saddam parade or anything
- LegalTorrents – lots of music
- EA Canada Recruiting Billboard – the fastest way for me to decode was to launch a shell and String.fromCharCode() it. If you just want to know
American Gods is a book best read with a Google window handy. (That’s not very couch friendly, however). Also, here’s a good American Gods ‘god’ reference (spoilers)
