If my house had a basement I’d turn it into the ultimate arcade room, complete with black-light carpeting and a change machine.

For maximum fun, add ’2130r’ to the end of your query.
Wow that was fast. NEOflash is the first flash card for the Nintendo DS.
Details are sketchy, but at this point it’s rumored to use a special bootcart in the DS slot and a second card in the GBA slot that can be used to store either GBA or DS games.
UPDATE: Photos are now posted at the site above. NEOflash appears to be a product of the XGFlash people, complete with the SlimLoader and problematic removable cart battery. This is probably a product worth avoiding for that reason alone, especially with alternate DS firmware like this in development.
Sirius may have just lost Air America, but they’re gaining Martha Stewart.
Man, XM is really getting clobbered in the programming department lately. It seems like all the big names are signing with Sirius. Guess I made the right choice!
Holy crap you sure can squeeze a lot of stuff into 64k these days.
Check out this invitation for Assembly ’05. I didn’t realize they still held Assembly competitions, but I guess they do!
Today’s a crazy day in the world of mergers and acquisitions!
Adobe buys Macromedia for $3.1 billion.
GameStop buys Electronics Boutique for $3.8 billion.
Google and Yahoo are taking an interest in Tivo.

Screw all that namby-pamby chick stuff, you’re going straight for the bottle and a shot glass! It’ll take more than a few shots of Wild Turkey or 99 Bananas before you start seeing pink elephants. You know how to handle your alcohol, and yourself at parties. |

Starting today through April 30th, if you sign up for Shot Online and use SpazRobot as your referral ID, I get money! Not REAL money of course, but in-game money that I can use to buy myself better clubs!
But wait, there’s more!
If you reach level 10 before April 30th (very easy to do!) we’ll both get $500,000 in the game, and that’s a lot!
Free games of this caliber don’t come along that often, so sign up today and start playing! Or signup without playing, so I can get the kickback! Thanks!
I was thinking a little bit over the weekend about what Tivo could do to improve their position in the market, and it hit me – thin clients!
Each household would have just one or maybe two ‘real’ Tivo units – the things you can buy now. Every other TV in the home would use a “TivoLite” box – a smaller version of Tivo that’s not capable of recording video on its own. In fact, TivoLite wouldn’t have any inputs at all – it’d just stream pre-recorded video wirelessly from the ‘real’ Tivo units located elsewhere in the home. You wouldn’t be able to watch live TV on these Lite units, but few people with Tivo do that anyway…and if they needed to, they could just go watch it on their main TV.
If TivoLite was an actual product on the market, I’d buy two today!
We went to two Angels games over the weekend, unfortunately they lost both to the Kansas City Royals.
The first was on Friday night
And the second was on Sunday afternoon
Yay for blurry cameraphones!
Sitting on the club level is great. The security is tight to keep the riff-raff out, and in-seat service means you’ll never have to leave your seat to get food.
