though i think nintendo’s revolution is going to do oodles more to change the face of games than either ps3 or xbox360, we should be sure we don’t count microsoft out just yet

nice find e-nutz

just got my copy of studio 8—one of the perks from my internship (as if i have a G to spend on software). i think im pretty happy with it overall. this summer i used dw 8 pretty much all the time, and since then, going back to mx has made me want to drive my head through a wall many-a-times. its the little things really, like easy code-commenting, background file transfers, proper css support (well, thats not so little). also, the visual rendering in dw has really improved. i use a lot of iframes on sites i make and mx just couldnt handle them, i would end up with a garbled mess. the truth is i prefer testing in a browser anyway, but its nice to know i can use dw if i have to.

flash also got a big update, but i havent had much time to expirement with it yet. flash video is pretty badass though. the quality is pretty good. its still not as good as qt, but considering how much smaller it is in file size. i tried to encode an old clip of mine and found out one thing that is a real bummer though, that flash cant encode audio from qt mpegs. yeah, i have no idea why either.

anyway, heres the video (you’ll need flashplayer 8):

barely a month into my elementary arabic class i get an email from Sergeant First Class Edward C. Ford with the subject ‘FW: Security your future as a Linguist’ (obviously the army teaches good spelling too)

this photograph was taken in baghdad, 1918. the cat all the way on the left is my great-great grandfather, affectionately known as baba shlomo, after whom my brother mark is named. he was born in 1861 aka ‘what the fuck is the internet?’

this right here folks, is what they call the OG. big up shlomo—booyakasha.

mediafour is claiming that in six days they will bring the psp to life, which personally i hope means, ‘make it not suck ass’

and this one is just weird
