XNA Creators Club Announcement
Sure most of you have seen, but some of the big news for Microsoft at GDC this year was around allowing XNA Game Studio games to be shared via the community on Xbox Live. You can find the official release here , and should also make a point of reading...
Map of the Star Trek Universe
Just came across a map of the Star Trek universe that's worth sharing. It's a bit frightening in that someone actually spent the time to document this, but it's awesome nonetheless. Every time I see a territorial boundary map like this I long for a virtual...

New Website Dedicated to Co-op Gaming
Just noticed that BAPenguin of Evil Avatar Fame has launched a new website focused on co-op gaming called Co-Optiumus . From the press release: With virtually no other websites dedicated to co-op games, gamers are having a hard time finding the information...
Robert Cringely on 700-MHz Spectrum Auction
Been watching this with a great deal of interest, and wanted to pass along a good article in case you weren't aware of the ramifications of this auction. Simply put, one of the last wide-ranging/penetrating wireless spectrum chunks is coming up for auction...
Halo 3 Forge: Illusion Self Portrait
A friend just forwarded me a rather cool use of Halo 3's Forge editing environment - a self-portrait! Keep looking at it if you don't see it at first - it sometimes helps if click on the image and look at it in a larger form. Some comments from the author...

LucasArts Games Emulation on iPhone
This is just one of the coolest things I've seen in a while - some clever folks ported the ScummVM over to the iPhone, taking advantage of multi-touch support to deliver a perfect playable experience of classic LucasArts adventure games! ScummVM fully...
Shifting Sands Reveal Lost WWII Fighter
Just thought the article and picture was cool - love these sorts of things. In a likely-futile attempt to make this post game-related, I'll say it reminds me a bit of the German U-Boat you find early in Uncharted: Drake's Odyssey (which I'm enjoying quite...

Halo 3 Charity Launch Event (Seattle Area)
Just wanted to point anyone who might be interested to a Seattle-area Halo 3 charity launch event . It's being pulled together by a good friend and coworker of mine Scott Henson (Gamertag: Bear ), and is a great way to get that Halo 3 loving feeling going...
Conservative and Liberal Brains Wired Differently (Literally!)
Saw this article on Slashdot that highlights some research showing that Liberal and Conservative brains process information differently. Admittedly, it's a "duh" finding (similar to the study last week that found that men found attractive women more appealing...

[Edit] Must See: Zero Punctuation on Heavenly Sword
Full props to Jerry at Penny Arcade for pointing it out, but you must go watch this new Escapist feature called Zero Punctuation . It's a commentary on the recently released Heavenly Sword demo for PS3, and is quite sincerely the funniest thing I've seen...
Some Great Google Earth Pictures
Was just sent this article from PC World highlighting some of the strangest things people have found in Google Earth's satellite images. The huge rabbit is cute, but the elephant and camel shots are amazing in their detail. My favorite, though, probably...

Where did Inverse Earth come from?
Had a couple of folks who were curious how I found that Inversed Earth image; it's not the sort of thing you generally come across surfing the web. Simply put, I'd been pointed to a great blog called thought bucket , run by a gentleman named Jack Turner...

Planet Earth Inversed
Just thought this was pretty darn cool. It's a vision of a reversed Earth (with land being water, and vice-versa) from a design group called VladStudio . Hit the link if you want different-sized wallpapers of it (though some of the higher-res ones require...
