Videogame Collector Magazine has been a great resource for me, what with all my flea marketing and all. I am a rabid game collector, you see, and this quarterly publication helps me to figure out whether or not I should pay the $5 for a NES cart at the Laney College flea market every Sunday [...]
Call me a big fart cynic, but I don’t think that anything is going to change about our current wireless situation, here in America. While Google’s, or more specifically, Eric Schmidt’s plan to pay for the whole shee-bang of the 700 MHZ spectrum–provided the spectrum is pushed into some open standards and practices–will come to [...]
I’m working on a diddled version of Eliza, now that I’ve found a version that’s written in JavaScript. It’s a great way for me to dip my brain into the JS pool, something I’ve never done before. In fact, the code is the easy bit. Thinking of good ways to mess with Eliza’s head is [...]

Semi Con is going on this week. It’s the annual conference targeted at companies that manufacture products that need vacuum processes and electron-cutting.

It’s really a hodge podge of companies that [...]

The real crux of the issue is [...]
When was the last time you saw this video? I thought of it because V is watching Tarzan, the Disney animated movie. It’s all full of Phil Collins music. And I remembered back when Phil was still cool.
Gangsters understand branding and marketing better than anyone else on the planet. Or, at least, they seem to in the movies and on TV. I realized this while watching The Wire, HBO’s fantabulous cop drama. Yadda yadda yadda, best show on TV, yadda yadda, best show evar, blah blah blah. You see, on The Wire, [...]
My buddy Simoniker (The fabulous Simon Carless, EIC of Game Developer Magazine and Gamasutra.com) was just off in Jolly old England. He just posted up some photos on Flickr of the games aisles of British stores. Not a ton of pictures, but what he snapped is really interesting. Of course, nothing can top the oddness [...]
