PBS’s site has a neat game where you listen to retro game sounds and try to guess which game they’re from. I got 15 out of 18, a couple of the games I never played back then or ROM now. This would be a fun category for Jeopardy. The site also has some other retro game trivia too. Link.
Greasemonkey- my favorite way to make the web work (for me) again, is out. The update fixes some security things and other bugs. I have a few scripts that I use every day along with a lot of Firefox extensions. Here’s a post with my set up, extensions and more. Link. As Waxy said, you may now resume remixing the web.
Master modder Jan made a really neat PC- After finishing my last project, I just had to do something new. I thought about what to do for months and had several good ideas, but finally I fell for Bender. I’ve always been a big Futurama fan and I was 100% certain I’d be able to do this, despite how much time and money I’d spend. I would never have been able to finish this project if I hadn’t had help from my friends: Einhar Flå – for welding, Geir Gravem – who calculated the angles and proportions. So a big thanks to these guys… [via] Link.
Building a $500 Myth box – Build the fastest, most stable, most brand-name, best looking, $500 PC I can muster. Hardware testing phase (nope, way too lazy) Super tune a stage 1 gentoo install. Compile a million small things, optimize, optimize, optimize. Edit some files, load some modules, press some buttons. Plug into TV, get some nachos… [via] Link.
Nice HOW TO if you use Google Sidebar and Talk…After you install both Google Talk and Google Sidebar, you can select an option to integrate Talk into the Sidebar. (Then you can dock it to the side of your screen.) Do you think Windows is slowly becoming a bunch of device drivers to run Google apps on?… [via] Link.
MAKE pal Hans writes “I just found this, I have not looked up Wearable Computer stuff for years now- How to build your own hand-held, seven-key, programmable, ergonomic keying device. Great for Wearable Computers. Link.
The single chip computer on the site runs the iPic web-server, the world’s tiniest implementation of a TCP/IP stack and a HTTP web-server. The chip is a complete micro-computer, and it includes all components of a complete computer on a single tiny micro-chip (this includes the CPU (central processing unit), memory, serial port interface circuitry, and clock oscillator).
