Short posts due to not wishing to be overly wordy about an item or simply about, or a link to, another site on the interwebs.
Happy Birthday Abby
Ed has posted an entry about Abby’s birthday on The Ed Zone. He has a great shot of Abby at the top. In honor of the occassion, I added some others to my flickr photostream. You can see three of them in my header, but there are more on flickr. None of them touch his picture though.
The Lost Experience
Apparently ABC is going to launch a game called The Lost Experience on May 3 in the U.S., but also in the UK and Oz. It will be Internet based and feature a parallel story not shown on TV. Interesting how more TV is putting side stuff on the web. The Office is another example.
Quick Charge This
Stupid Microsoft. I’m glad I bought the craptacular Play & Charge kit now that they have released a Quick Charge Kit. Just another way to screw us out of another $30. This is what they should have had at launch and not the other thing, which I finally found out last night only works for my 360 when you plug it in the rear USB port. I guess it likes third input…
Satellite Killed the Radio Star
As many of you know, I’m not a Howard Stern fan and it would seem that most of you no longer are either. At least, not big enough fans to drop cash on Sirius hardware and a subscription. Since he has a crap load of money, maybe he should start giving that stuff away to get his audience back. Better hurry before Opie and Anthony (worse than Stern?) find them.
Wild Thing
I haven’t watched many Sox games on TV yet this year, so this is kind of a surprise to me, but it seems Papelbon has *won* a bet with Youk. I wonder what Youk had to do as the loser…
UPDATE: More about that bet here.
Attackbot Geekery
Front page of boston.com as I just pulled it up… a picture of a familiar looking ramp and an article about robots. Did something similar my frosh year at BU for an engineering class, cept we didn’t call them robots. No one built one that was programmable or remote controlled since it was 16 years ago. Mine had a mercury switch to cut the power when it got to the top of the ramp and a fat rat trap on the front to smash the other vehicle if it made it to the top, but I don’t think mine made it to the top when the time came. My friend made his look like the car at the end of Animal House. We didn’t look as geeky as those two kids in the picture. Well… I didn’t. Good Times.
DC MMO Announced
Although, I thought it was MMORPG, but since I have never played one, I guess I have no idea. I may play this one though since Jim Lee is attached to it. Marvel already has one in the works for the Xbox 360, so I am more inclined to play that over a DC game. Both would be cool if you could play with the few PC gamers left too.
Sam and Max
They’re back! Steve Purcell is once again drawing a Sam & Max comic, but now it is distributed on the web and interactive… sort of. Hold your cursor over each panel for the wonderful words. Started off on a bi-weekly schedule, but now looks monthly.
The comic is sponsored by the company making a new game featuring the infamous dog and rabbit duo. Don’t be too distracted by the large Bone ads.
Commenty Goodness
I’ve decided that if you don’t leave a comment yourself, I’ll do it for you. That’s of course, if you bothered to provide feedback via e-mail, IM, phone or facetime. I’ve done so twice for Joe already.
Leave a comment so I know you likey or no likey. Doesn’t have to be clever, funny or nice. Just leave it if you had a thought while reading. I’ll take you to DQ.

Please Wash Hands
I read this interesting article on Boston putting the kibosh on unisex washrooms. I fail to see the issue here. Are they concerned women may see how many men fail to wash after doing their business? I’d think it would help get those numbers up…
