Well, here’s the clip that’s quite the hotness these few days… at least until Paris Hilton takes something off again.
This is Ian Benardo from the latest American Idol.
I found myself wondering quite a few times, as Randy probably was: Is this guy for real?

1Up has a very interesting feature article about an outsourcing company who’s had its hand in literally hundreds of games since the NES era - and yet has hardly ever been credited for its work.
These are heroes, indeed.
almost every major publisher has used it at one point or another — yet few have ever acknowledged this. Looking at Tose’s list of clients, almost all of gaming’s big names are there: Nintendo, Capcom, Namco, Sony, Square Enix, and even major American publishers like Electronic Arts and THQ. Tose has over 1,000 games to its name — or rather, to other companies’ names. And it’s been working in secret like this for over 25 years.

I’ve added a new blog to my blogroll. Don to Earth is a blog authored by a jovial 93-year-old man named Donald Crowdis whose sharp wit and unique perspective on life (he’s at least thrice your age..!) make his posts a joy to read.
In his latest entry, he muses about the inevitable, and why he doesn’t think he’s ready -
There are many reasons. For too long I have behaved as if I could postpone going indefinitely, and thus have so many things that I must do first. I don’t want my successors to find out how much I could have done that isn’t done, not by a long shot. There are numerous notes and letters I must write. There are places I’ve wanted to travel, but never had the chance. Actually, each of you can, if you think yourself into my age, fill out the list. At least you can try to understand why I say that I hate to go.
Check the man out here.

Between factoring prime numbers, memorizing pi and guessing the value of infinity, here’s what some of them do to kill time. I don’t know whether to be impressed or disgusted.
I’ll leave you to figure out what this actually means, and if you don’t know, that mightn’t be such a bad thing…

…because everywhere in the world, people drive like idiots. These heroes are all humanity has between them and a planet full of smoking debris.

My monitor is dying. The red channel is totally gone, leaving everything a shade of a rather funky cyan. When I thump the table it flickers back to its original colours for about 1/3 of a second, then reverts to a nice blinding neon-blue. I’ve artificially removed the red channel of a screenshot in photoshop to better give you an idea of what the hell I’m experiencing right now:
Here’s screenshot regular:
and here’s screenshot decaf. Notice the total lack of red.
They look identical on my monitor, and to tell the truth, I had them mixed up for the past ten minutes. I’m only confident they’re in the right place because my colours just came back as I am typing this sentence. I even named the files wrongly… the second screenshot is numbered #1 and vice versa…
Fark. My eyes hurt.
