I know I could pull up the movies in iTunes, do an advanced search, and sort the results by release date. But why should I have to do that?

retro gaming 2008: its old

by ben traub | Filed under Geekery and Software and Video Games at 12:48 pm | Add a comment »

i found a nice little site that tinkers with some of the earliest of classic video games, namely pac man and space invaders. the twist is that each game has been re-tooled to either increase the difficulty level to some stupid range or to get you to play long enough for a pretty good joke […]

Battle of the Online Mix Tapes: Mixwit vs. Muxtape

by Chandler | Filed under Geekery and Music at 10:01 pm | 2 comments »

In this cloud-computing, Facebook-centered era of the web, it’s no surprise that even the practice of mix tape creation has moved online. Of course, the first question that comes to mind is: do most potential users of these services even know what a mix tape is?

In other words, we’re getting the pants sued off us, the EU won’t let us fart sideways without slapping us with a sanction, more and more people are defecting to Firefox (not to mention the Mac OS), and you can now buy PCs with Linux at Wal-Mart.

Best Buy Almost Sucks the Soul Out of a New Macbook

by Chandler | Filed under Geekery and Rants at 10:53 am | 2 comments »

That brief time in Best Buy reminded me why I pretty much refuse to shop there. Never in my life have I experienced a sales clerk actually being curt and rude to customers making purchases of over $1000. Maybe I’ve gotten spoiled shopping at the Apple Store, but I’ve come to see anything less than exemplary customer service as unacceptable.
