What the JFM datacenter would probably be like, if we had one.

Special edition packaging 110 years of Pepsi.

The women of Watchmen. The transitions between the original comic and scenes from the film are awesome.

“And yet, despite the fact that we have the resources to build out our own footprint, we are choosing to go the other way, and move 100% into the cloud. This decision came after a lot of modeling and some very hard thinking.”

“Rather than going out and signing a record label deal, where the record label basically gets near total control over the band and its works, the band has incorporated itself into a company and raised $100,000 from The Normative Music Company as an investment.”

“Monsters Inc Hide and Seek is the next major Disney attraction, and it will open officially April 15, 2009 at Tokyo Disneyland Tomorrowland. A real E-Ticket with new WDI technological wonders, and more than 75 Audio-Animatronics inside. In fact, since Pirates of Caribbean at DLP or Sinbad Voyages at TDL, no other attraction had been built with so many Audio-Animatronics… No need to say that Disney and more is waiting for its opening…”

ZOMG, just when I thought I’d seen everything the internet currently had to offer, this has been around for three years (or so it appears). M.U.L.E. is one of my favorite games ever. I’m almost afraid to play it again for fear of ruining my golden memories. I once asked the guy running the XBox games group at Microsoft to remake this. He agreed it was a good idea, but never acted on my suggestion. He was soon out of a job.

Personally, I’ve always thought that the difference between the Star Wars and Star Trek aesthetic was simply the amount of money spent on both sets that look real, and extras to populate them. Star Wars locales looked real and felt like they were filled with realistic numbers of people. It was all about scale. This was in stark contrast to Star Trek where planets looked like some weird pseudo Mount Olympus where 400 people inhabit the entire place.

“We’re going to allow you to experience the great moments of Star Wars… What are the cool things that you’ve seen in the movies? If you can do it in the movies, we’re trying to do that in the game.”

A visual history of 11 successful blogs. [thx debdu]

“The first thing to get cut in everyone’s ad budget was “experimental” ad buys, random things like branded pop-up games and ads in Virtual Worlds and other, mostly online things that probably never worked in the first place.”

If they ever actually make this, you’ll know what to get Jenny for her birthday.

“I can ride my bike to work. I live one to two miles from either brewery. I fill my gas tank once a week. I think you can get caught up way too much in growth. We don’t have any growth goals.” [thx svn]

“Unlike previous console transitions from Nintendo, the new system will be presented as a true successor to the Wii, and is being dubbed by those that have seen the presentation as ‘Wii HD.’”
