TalkAboutComics blog: The blog for the acclaimed TalkAboutComics site, most notably the forum. The latest post I thought was interesting; it was regarding BC and Johnny Hart, who died a month ago. Did I hear about that or didn’t I? -
Ingredient X: Never before has one man so accurately portrayed the oddities of day-to-day life in such spectacular sketch videos and comic strips. Lev tells tales of strange women, procrastination, Saturdays, and many more things you’ll simply have to see to praise. -
Polar Clock update: We can be expecting a second update to the Polar Clock screensaver from PixelBreaker, complete with localization and a universal coloring system. I just wish it wouldn’t make my fan spin up. -
Particles: This game involves fully elastic collisions and transfering of energy between the several red balls that float about the screen. Your single blue ball needs to stay out of their paths as long as possible; if you get collided into once, it’s game over. How do people beat 240 seconds, anyway? -
Panic ripoff: The Transmit truck icon has been so abundantly stolen that it constitutes about 60% of the design thefts on this hilarious page. Panic isn’t mad, but you have to wonder who these people think they’re fooling when they reverse the image and use it twelve times. - The OLPC Wiki: Ah, the One Laptop Per Child project; bringing Linux to children around the world with $100 hand-crank laptops. This is one of their two wikis, the other one being for software development. I don’t even know where you can buy these things.
