The story behind new Xbox design

A small article on the XBox 360 by the Seattle Times.

Brett’s official comment plugin

Brett Taylor has released an official comments plugin (actually he released it about 4 months ago).

Sony officially announces the PS3

Sony have unveiled the Playstation 3. In an attempt to outdo MS at everything, they've even made their controller a bigger mess than the XBox 360's.

BTW, did you notice that you can connect 7 controllers wirelessly. Why 7 you may ask. It's because in a bluetooth piconet you can only connect 8 devices which when you include the console, means 7 controllers. However, I'm reminded of the following quote from There's something about Mary.

7's the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 doors. 7, man, that's the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea. It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby. Step into my office.

Musical Baton

So I turn on my computer today and find that Khaled (of the fantastic BrokenKode) and Peter J. Lambert (of the equally fantastic Pixelicious) have given me a musical baton. Why thank you… what do you mean this is an internet meme? No, I don't to pass this on… it's mine, my preciouusss…

Total volume of music files on my computer:
About 2GB

The last CD I bought was:
O by Damien Rice

Song playing right now:
Currently at work so nothing. Last song played? Dakota by Stereophonics

Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me:

  1. Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio
  2. Killing Me Softly by The Fugees
  3. Wonderwall by Oasis
  4. Hailie's Song by Eminem
  5. Love will come through by Travis

Five people to whom I’m passing the baton:

  1. Brenden
  2. Morgan
  3. Nick
  4. Root
  5. Zenith

Outfoxed

There are over 8 billion web pages. Most of them suck.

Outfoxed looks like a promising FF extension. It provides a mechanism for trusted parties (e.g. friends, family) to provide and share information about web pages. A very clever idea, and I'm interested to see how this pans out.

Tetris shelving

Aftermath of Gallery’s legal dispute

An interesting post by Gallery, an open-source gallery software, which recently had to deal with legal threats after one of their users used their software in a less than ideal manner.
