http://www.crockford.com/wrrrld/maniac.html
A pretty good read about Maniac Mansion and what the developers had to go through to get it on the NES. Who knew NOA’s standards were so strict? I mean, you can microwave the hamster!

SplashTop Video

The first video of SplashTop that I have seen. Pretty cool stuff, though I am still up in the air about how practical it is until is makes the way to portable devices. Very cool stuff though.

The important ones here for me are the iPhone (which I am using right now), the HTC Kaiser (which I have my eye one), and the Curve (which is probably the ideal phone for me right now). The Curve is the smallest and I think the lightest, but definitely not the coolest. The thickness of [...]
