If You Stop Smoking: I really enjoyed the original post of this; it was interesting to know that eventually the effects of smoking do wear off if you take the initiative to quit. This high-resolution poster shows a timeline of what happens to your body if you stop smoking right now. -
Graphic Calculator story: Never before has the struggle of a software developer been so great and told so gracefully. I’ll bet dollars to donuts you had no idea that Apple actually canceled the famous Graphic Calculator and that it wasn’t to be shipped with the new Power PC Macs. It took a little luck and a lot of help. -
Safari 3.0 beta: Initial reaction for this breakthrough edition is poor, even hostile. But that’s mostly regarding the Windows version, which apparently is very buggy and is unfit to be used. The new webkit that is installed for Macintosh, however, is screwing with Colloquy, which is making me pretty down. -
Vector TD: Finally, a Tower Defense worthy of mentioning since Desktop TD. Vector TD is from the creator of Flash Element and Circle TDs and is complete with eleven towers, each capable of being upgraded no less than ten times. Multiple maps, ranging from a novice level to one near impossible are now available for your playing pleasure. -
Meteor Busters: This game incites the nostalgia of Game Boy and Game Boy pocket, what with its simple functionality and grayscale graphics. Play as any one of five ships and work your way through heaps of meteors, upgrading yourself along the way. The big downside is that a single hit is a death, and a single death is a downgrade. My favorite by far is the sticky bullet ship. -
ZuluPad: Consolidate all your notes into a localhost wiki with this “notepad on crack”. It’s cross-platform, free, and great for both the student and the worker. -
Big Ed’s Swan Song: I’m sure one must have noticed by now the Net Neutrality chicklet in my footer; it’s been there for a good eight months now. The issue now is that AT&T is pushing for the abolishment of Net Neutrality more than ever; this video explains it all in a Jib-Jab-esque way.
