Forwards from Phil: Mar. 24, 2008
March 24th, 2008 by PhilSpring, my ass. If I have to scrape my windows off in the morning (because it’s 27 degrees!) it’s not spring yet. Winter’s death throes are especially long this year.
Or so it seems. Maybe it’s just me.
- Lifehacker has a nerdy little rundown of 10 software Easter eggs, including the Excel ‘97 flight simulator and Mozilla’s entry from the “Book of Mozilla” on the birth of Firefox. Stuff to do if you have a little time to waste, I suppose.
- Small Biz Survival offers a series of checklists for starting your first business, starting all the way at “how do I become a business?”
- From the harassment department, Dell’s called a woman every day for 8 months to try to get her to pay a debt - and she doesn’t own anything by Dell. Turns out when she took a new job she inherited the number of a Dell debtor, and Dell’s decided to violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act to try and get the money she doesn’t owe.
- Well, shit: fish can count now.
- A review of Titanic: The Game. From China. For the Famicom. I shit you not.
- It’s no secret: Sonic sucks these days. Smash Bros Brawl might seriously represent his best outing in years, and that’s saying something. I have high hopes for his upcoming DS RPG, which promises to be good enough to even make me love Big the Cat (but let’s face it, I actually love Big the Cat anyway). However, his action games… ehh, leave a bit to be desired. Jim Sterling has a few ideas on how to save Sonic.
- Oh, and this week’s Rock Band DLC is a 6-song Boston download pack, including “More Than a Feeling”. Will: if you’re reading this, mail the drums back. We need to play Rock Band. Once we can quit playing Smash, anyway.
