Life is Hard

Life Is Hard is a very brief platform game offering an exploration of just how difficult life can be. Just use your left, right arrows to move around and up to jump. Take a moment to enjoy this entertaining, little game and let me know what you think of it.

Locus OS

This location-based operating system called the Locus OS is pretty damn slick. The operating system was designed by a guy named Barton Smith and supposedly the multiple widget desktops are designed around locations (home, work, car) and automatically switches between desktops thanks to GPS and Wi-Fi mapping.

Korean BBQ


Korean BBQ is a unique eating experience; the food one orders is brought for you in little trays, uncooked and marinated, and one cooks it on an embedded flame grill in the center of the table. There are vents all the way around the grill or above your table to suck the smoke away from the food. Typically there is an all you can eat deal, available, where they bring you as many beef strips, spare ribs, salmon strips, pork strips, chicken breasts, cow tongues, cod strips and cow liver as you want for $24.95... give or take a few bucks. Some places may even offer an all you can drink deal on top of that. While all this is happening, the main course is surrounded by bottomless side orders of classic Korean cold dishes and condiments. Avoid these distractions at all costs, however tasty they may be. You must keep your eye on the prize. The meat.

These restaurants must make their money by bringing smaller portions of the food to slow down one’s eating, letting the food sit in one’s stomach to get fuller faster, along with the fact that they don’t have to pay anyone to cook. One would imagine, they just hire an army of dishwashers instead. But the genius of it all is the atmosphere it creates, and the fact if you hit up the right place, it is damn tasty. The gluttony that exists in American society isn't necessarily unique, it's just more often than not, executed poorly.

Too Young to Blog

A new study says Blogging is for crusty old people. Young people want stuff like texting and Twitter. Old people just want you to get the hell off their lawn.

Danah Boyd, a fellow at Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society, says that when it comes to blogs, "people focus on using them for what they're good for and turning to other channels for more exciting things."Those channels might include anything from social networking sites to others that feature games or video.

...now, get off my lawn!
