Beautiful vintage site.

“But if you’re thinking about something that doesn’t result in lethal force, that’s more tricky. It’s really hard for people to get their heads around, I think. To be that good, to not actually lethally injure anyone, requires an extremely high level of skill that would take maybe 15 to 18 years to accumulate.”

“Why see The Dark Knight in an Imax theater? As P-Funk front man George Clinton once succinctly explained to us, ”Cuz that shit is motherfuckin’ huuuuuge.’”

Not getting enough Christian Bale?

“But getting people into a soap habit, it turns out, is surprisingly hard.” [thx mom]

“AS tea services go, the one at Royal/T here is definitely of the down-the-rabbit-hole variety. In an industrial-chic cafe surrounded by Japanese pop art, an American woman dressed as an English maid recently served French tea in a style that was straight out of Tokyo.”

“…into more than 50 instruments, including guitar, piano, drums, saxophone, violin, etc. “

“They also chopped wood with their hands karate-style, and fought one another.”

“All it took was Google entering the virtual worlds space with Lively to get Linden Lab to defend its turf and promise more improvements to Second Life’s infrastructure and user interface.”

“A comparison of typographers’ fonts with their handwriting…among them Erik Spiekermann, Mark Simonson, and Marian Bantjes.” [thx kottke]

“Ridiculous Small-Business Plan Encouraged By Friends”

“When I first saw their 65.6-foot high ceilings, with multiple giant robots going up and down retrieving boxes full of bricks, I felt like I entered the Matrix.”

Ghostbusters video game coming. But no Rick Moranis. WTF!?!

“Imagine the scene: You’re driving your car to an office building in New York City, five minutes from a job interview. No worries. You have already dialed into the car’s memory the parking garage where it’s going to stay, and prepaid the bill. You shut the door. And off it goes. Driverless. And the chances of the car getting into an accident while it travels five or six treacherous city blocks are less than if the hopeful job applicant had tried to park it himself under time pressure.”

“The Economics of Software”

“How Far Is Gotham City From Metropolis?”

“Yes, BATMAN AND ROBIN is watchable - after ‘de-assification!’” I don’t know whether I’m more in love with the idea of fixing this debacle or the word “de-assification”.

“I have spent the last few months on sabbatical, visiting a persistent fantasy world known as ‘Of Warcraft’. During this time I have made some preliminary observations about the nature of the world, which I am going to publish here in a series of short papers. It is my hope that this work may lead to further examination of this curious habitat, and the foundation of the academic field of Azerothian Studies, with a nice chair and honorarium for myself, etc. etc.”

Quantum of Solace. Looks awesome.

Not exhaustive by any means but a good resource when you need a quick refresher on potential superhero powers. (I need this more often than is normal I think.)

“Warner Brothers struggled to make the Looney Tunes characters relevant to modern children, and introduced futuristic-looking “descendants” of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and others in a television series in 2005. But many parents hated the “Loonatics,” which had mohawks and menacing eyes.”

“The letter directed the family to a hidden panel in the front hall that contained a beautifully bound and printed book, Ms. Bensko’s opus. The book led them on a scavenger hunt through their own apartment.”

Is it wrong that I still prefer most pre-rendered 2D games to realtime 3D?
