Very clever video this one is… Using nothing but LEGO and some wires, dude writes some drivers for his mac that instructs the LEGO mens to press the marker to the paper or not. Hello World! Thanks to Tom for this news story.

Seems there was a power outage at the Jimmy Kimmel taping of tonight’s live show… wait did I just type that? Taping of a Live show? hrrumpf. there’s a thinker. But anyway to the point of the entry! When they realized that they couldn’t get the show back up in time to record, they went to an alternate solution. Record the entire thing via webcam on Jimmy’s MacBook… I hope they are getting a nice cheque from Mr. Jobs later this week for the advertising they are giving Apple on this one! Tonight show features guests Seth Rogen, John Henson, and Dierks Bentley. So it’ll be the Jimmy Kimmel Live you’ve come to mostly ignore, only with a slower frame rate. Sweet. Don’t miss it!

Being a pioneer of awesome, It’s no suprise that I like bandwagons… website features, the sports I follow, the games I play, where I buy my tea, what to eat for dinner. If it’s cool, I’m usually doing it– except drugs! Drugs are bad! mmmkay? Well now there is a new bandwagon that I can jump on! I have made CrimsonLinks carbon neutral. Here’s how:

CrimsonLinks gets roughly 8-10k hits a month (depending on how many posts we have).
Each CL visitor generates roughly 0.02 grams of carbon dioxide emissions each year.
Do the math: CL generates less than 7lbs of emissions in a year.
A single tree absorbs and cleans roughly 20lbs of emmision within a year.
So as long as CL plants a single tree a year, we can nearly triple in size and still remain carbon neutral! Hoooray!

First off let me state that I haven’t played any of the Prince of Persia games since the original side scrolling edition released in 1989. I do however quite enjoy the Assassin’s Creed games also created by Ubisoft. Now with that in mind, click the jump to read my full review of why I enjoyed this movie as much as I did.

Made me laugh, needs to be a shirt… immediatly.

Thanks to Chris for the image via email.

“Hey, what do you think of this thing!?” Whenever someone asks me this I can’t help but think I’m digging myself a hole as, invariably, I’m signing on to take the blame for anything someone doesn’t like about a good recommendation I make. Well, since I’m such a great guy (read: I actually don’t care what you think), I’ll give you that scapegoat; that means to say, “Hey, this tool on the interweb said this was good and I bought it, but I didn’t like it so I’ll blame everything on him!” You’re welcome!!

So if you change the header at steampowered.com to rename the next day, turns out you can actually see what tomorrow or the next day’s sale will be. You’ve already missed the first sale for Crysis but today is Battlefield and you can hit the jump for each day to see what will come…

Wow this is more true than I first thought when I read the video’s title. If you’re like anyone who’s anyone, you played Street Fighter as a kid, and if you didn’t… then you played Street Fighter II and that’s okay too. When I wasn’t button mashing as Blanka, or playing any other character, I would play as Guile. Man he’s got some sweet music… Check the video, then check the related video’s on the youtube link below.
