As you probably could’ve seen from my tweets today, I’ve discovered a new music site today called Blip.fm. It’s kindof pandora-ish, but with more social junk in the trunk. Thanks to @sarahlane for tweeting about it or else I may have not found out about it.
So feel free to listen to my station http://www.blip.fm/snarfblatt and I’ll be sure to fill it up with all the music you never wanted to listen to.
Well you may or may not care about where I’ve been spending my time lately, but I thought I would let everyone know anyway. Pat and I have started up another website. This one is definitely a ‘niche’ sort of thing since it pertains to the game that we spend much of our free time on. So I’ve been working on getting that all prettied up for prime time which is reason for some of my neglect here. Sorry ’bout that. Seems like I post alot about not posting. Maybe I should post about that. Hmmm.
Anyway.. I’ll see if I can’t rustle up some pertinent content here soon. But then, what is pertinent? Well that is the beauty of being the author, I get to decide.
They say talk is cheap. Google thinks it should be free. Google Talk enables you to call or send instant messages to your friends for free–anytime, anywhere in the world.
So officially, Google, everyone’s favorite search engine and email client, is throwing its hat into the ring with other IM giants, MSN, AOL, and YAHOO. This puts Google one step closer to taking over the internet. Ok.. maybe not that dramatic, but they are definitely much futher than they were serveral years ago when all they were was a cool, search engine.
Do you remeber those days when you were doing a powerslide down the road on your big wheel? Well those days are back thanks to ADULT SIZE Big Wheels. If I could only justify the expense. These guys are a bit out there for price, but they certainly look cool.
Here is another one of those time wasting games. I’m not very good at it yet, but give me time. Let me know your scores.
GotUsed – POOM!
Here is another one of those silly Burger King commercials. See if you can stump Darth Vader in The Sith Sense

I came across this extremely funny article this morning on Chaos Magnet. Now, beware, you must put your “Geek-Hats” on to appreciate this. Some students at MIT have created a program to generate CS (that’s Computer Science for those non-geeks) papers and had one of their papers accepted to a conference. Here is a small blurb from their website:
SCIgen is a program that generates random Computer Science research papers, including graphs, figures, and citations. It uses a hand-written context-free grammar to form all elements of the papers.
Take a look at this stuff here:

The next Unreal Engine is looking pretty sweet. The demos take a while to download, but they are well worth it.
This is an excellent music video that was created using nothing but the Half Life 2 tools. If you are a fan of Half Life 2 or just want to see some amazing game physics, check this out.
