Ars Technica has a typically excellent review of Apple’s latest operating system. (The review is excellent in it’s craftmanship; the quality of the OS you can decide.)
Maija won’t be getting it for a while, solely due to cost and no perceived benefits. She’s still trying to figure out how everything is done in Tiger, a […]

Dynamite Festival recap, or Mike’s waiting is over for now
Published October 30th, 2007 in DJing and Mixes. 2 CommentsSorry, I had so much fun in Helsinki that I got a bit sick, and then I had a crazy week of trying to fight a cold and working 16 hour days.

Senator Leland Yee is a hated figure by many in the video games industry for the bills […]
Nine Inch Nails is no longer on a record label. Following Radiohead, he’ll start distributing his music himself.
Word.
It’s just above zero degrees today, and snowing lightly.

Not the Xbox Live Arcade game that I love so much… but the just-about-life-size model X-Wing.
Start here.
Finish in a blaze of glory here.
Ontario Election and Reforendum

Matthew Neugebauer wrote a nice little piece on MMP. Requires effbook.
Holy wow. This is everywhere.
Without reading these articles, I’m speculating:
1. Bungie wants to move on from Halo. They’ve had a great time, but they know Microsoft’s tendency to beat a dead horse. So they’re out.
2. Related to point 1, they want to try something new. If you look at Bungie’s history, they used to develop […]
