geek happens: Resistance is Futile - Part 5

http://pacin.blogspot.com/2006/10/resistance-is-futile-part-5.html

Friday, October 06, 2006. Resistance is Futile - Part 5. There is no escaping the Pod. We're haunted by visions of Cube dwelling elves. And man-made formations visible from space. Even Mickey and his empire have been drafted. Into the fruit army. Perhaps if we just lay down for a few moments, we'll be able to clear our heads. Ah, yes, sweet rest. Wait a sec, what's that sound?

geek happens: Turn to page 34, if you dare...

http://pacin.blogspot.com/2007/01/turn-to-page-34-if-you-dare.html

Tuesday, January 23, 2007. Turn to page 34, if you dare. Further proof that everything that was old is new again, CYOA is trying out downloads of their classic series designed specifically for iPods. The first title , The Abominable Snowman. Is currently available for free (until Jan. 25th). It looks like they want to get some feedback during beta testing, and what better way is there than using the word "free"? So, anyone up for a little retro reading? Choose your own iPod adventure. Is it for evista.

geek happens: A little geek reading

http://pacin.blogspot.com/2006/10/little-geek-reading.html

Monday, October 09, 2006. A little geek reading. I just finished reading a short sci-fi novel by Cory Doctorow. Entitled Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. I'd heard mentions of the story (published in 2003) here and there, and I was already familiar with Cory's work for BoingBoing. And the Electronic Frontier Foundation. So after some recent appearances on This Week in Tech. I decided to sit down and give Mr. Doctorow a chance. Is available for download . . . free. Is rocking a CC license too, you know.

geek happens: Resistance is Futile - Part 3

http://pacin.blogspot.com/2006/03/resistance-is-futile-part-3.html

Monday, March 27, 2006. Resistance is Futile - Part 3. I was visiting New York City on Friday, and couldn't help but notice the barrage of iPod ads on every corner. Even the most dilapidated buildings were plastered with iPod-clad silhouettes (which I suppose is better than looking at the dilapidated buildings themselves). The Apple advertising machine is everywhere. In fact, this image. Aquired the location during a game of poker with (the late) Australian publishing and gaming tycoon Kerry Packer.

geek happens: Build a better meal

http://pacin.blogspot.com/2006/10/build-better-meal.html

Wednesday, October 11, 2006. Build a better meal. Good design is good design. That was a really insightful sentence, wasn't it? While it may seem strange to apply toy design to kitchenware, I think LEGO's got it right. Severed heads aside, the other products are whimsical, but still very attractive. Will be next year's biggest band (OK, that may be a stretch, but let's run with it, eh? It's all coming together people. Lego my.kitchen gear - Slashfood. Saturday, October 14, 2006.

geek happens: RSS chaos

http://pacin.blogspot.com/2006/11/rss-chaos.html

Thursday, November 16, 2006. It appears that our RSS feed went all wonky yesterday. I know my reader picked up 24 "new" posts last night, which of course were not really new at all. Sorry for the clutter. Just think of it as an opportunity to re-read our award winning work.*. By "award winning work" we mean "several people have actually read said prose and not sustained long term psychological damage". Good enough for us. - ED]. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). And let's get on with the show.
