I don’t use twitter and don’t really support the A.D.D. style of Internetting that it seems to promote, but I support camelcamelcamel’s dominance over all things Amazon.  So with regard to that I present the camelcamelcamel Top Amazon Price Drops twitter thingy:

This is just a different presentation of the Top Daily Drops feed that is on the camel homepage.  Maybe it will prove useful.

I find this an amusing snapshot of Tool Navy, one month before its six year anniversary.

Just earned myself the World Record on a track in the racing game GRID for PS3.

It is all downhill from here on out.

Interesting article.  In the sentence the image cuts off, the Pope is talking about things that appear to be real.  I won’t spoil the surprise.

And why shouldn’t it be?  I think Band Maps is a fine example of using PHP with the Google Maps API.  However, it might not be fully decrufted.  Consider yourself warned.

The rar below includes both the source and a dump of the concert data (in multiple formats).

It took me quite a while to figure this out so I think it’s worth recording / passing on.

If you are trying to get your Logitech G25 (or other wheel) to work with a racing game on your PS3 and it calibrates but doesn’t otherwise register, make sure you turn off any normal controllers.  Once all controllers are off, the PS3 will provide the option of activating your wheel.

Smoo-oo-ooth sailing.

I am 24 years old today, go me!

And thanks to Justin and Josh and Brennan for a good evening of ‘za and drinking.

As pseudo-promised earlier, I have ported my Javascript animation to C++ using the glorious AGG library to handle the rendering.  All I have is a screenshot for now, but it is going quite well and I’m having literal heaps of fun.
