I would like to see some more games like this. I am sure you must be able to make exercise more fun :-)

Update!

Now there is also a Star Trek Track…

Mixing a poor eurotrance hit and mixing in quotes from The Lord of the Rings

Another example is the weird and scary mash up of Transformers and Leonard Nimoy’s Ballad of Bilbo Baggins

Amusing but also a bit scary.

We live in the age of mixing rather than producing new material…

@shinyshiny.tv there was a mention of this great toy!

As an alternative to walking the entire beach for the golden coins you can “scan” the beach remotely using this radio controlled car:

Today I got my own christmasgift to myself this year. It’s this little baby:

Yes SIR! the Dell Ultrasharp 2407WFP 24″ widescreen LCD Flat Panel Monitor (nice customer reviews too) It’s simply amazing how that has worked out for me! Between Christmas and new year they had a sale on it now prices are up I see ^^

First of all it feels great to be able to type in a word document and casually have your browser docked on the same screen. recently studies have shown that it increases your productivity.

Secondly it’s amazing to open up photoshop and feel you have plenty of space – you can have the brush dynamics open and the pantone swatches and still everything is not crammed.

Thirdly – even though I don’t game that much =) – playing Counter Strike Source @ 1920*1200 pixels (16:9 wide screen) is not that bad either. I must say, that it performs as expected. When it’s running Counter Strike Source it has some problems in the sense that it only has a 60Mhz refresh rate and is has a 16 ms response time (black to white). I would say it’s ok but expect a little more blurry edges and also a bit lower fps (I might end up going SLI to get the full experience).

You gotta love the more spacious desktop both on your computer and on you real desk. To give You an idea here is a thumbnail press it to see the full size (it’s a gif so don’t let the quality fool you):

In addition the 2407WFP takes up much less space than my old CRT and it truly looks great. Has a casual sleek Dell design.

Wendys an American fast food burger franchise has taken tv ads to the next level using a new ground breaking strategy – they prepare several tv ads so the actual one that makes it is context aware.

If the football game is boring, the raccoons will comment on how boring the game is and what a miss by the wide receiver etc.

That is simply brilliant it ties directly into the way we watch television. We talk during the ad’s so why not make ads that join the natural conversation.
more @ nytimes.com/ but no video (they could not recreate the context anyway).

A lot of funny index card humor @: http://indexed.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
