Remember the classic video games? The 8-bit masterpieces of our sweaty-palmed youth. Inviting some friends over for a Maniac Mansion all-nighter, huffing asthmatically into a cartridge to clear out the dust, or the thrill and crushing disappointment of rescuing a princess, only to discover you’ve really just saved a fungus.

defective yeti: Good Gift Games Guide 2008 The official Good Gift Games Guide 2008 is available at The Morning News today. The games profiled are: Runners Up Usually, when I compile my annual Good Gift Games (G3s) Guide, I come up with seven or eight shoe-ins and then have to cast around for a few more to round out the list; this year my "just off the top of my head" list came out to 18 items, even before I started doing the research. In other words, there were G3s a'plenty in 2008. In any other year any of the below probably would have appeared on the main guide; there are only relegated to the "Runners Up" list Course Topics at Free-Ed.Net "Free-Ed.Net is not a directory; it is a destination" The Past The Present

Theater Space Built From 28 Shipping Containers Images from Platoon via Archdaily I have always been a bit dubious about shipping containers as architectural elements; my dad used to make them and I grew up around them, and thought that the dimensions were all wrong for people; there was not much that you could do in a 7'-6" interior (or so I thought).

I was hoping to find a unique game that usually drops out of the mass statistics.The only place where I've had that experience was at the reports of Faidutti's Ludopathic Gathering. Enigma Homepage Enigma is a puzzle game inspired by Oxyd on the Atari ST and Rock'n'Roll on the Amiga. The object of the game is to find uncover pairs of identically colored Oxyd stones. Simple? How to use TextMate For nearly 13 years, I created websites with PageSpinner, a charmingly old-fashioned HTML coding environment from the days of Netscape 1.0. But two years ago, seeking updated web page encoding and other modern conveniences, I switched to TextMate, “the missing editor for MacOS X.” PageSpinner greatly helps coders (but offends the aesthete’s eye) with Microsoft-Word-like menu bars containing buttons that let you instantly create paragraphs, list items, and so on. In contrast, TextMate has no UI chrome whatever. A screenshot of the TextMate interface is like a photograph of snow. For two years, I’ve created web pages in TextMate, hand-coding every entity with no help from the application because I didn’t know it offered any.
