This is a good find: Play Super Mario Brothers with your favorite character from Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Mega Man, Simon Belmont or that guy from Contra :-) Now of course some things just don't work like Samus' blaster  is kinda pathetic in the Mario World, and some things word great (like the Contra guy's gun).  It's a nice little NES nostalgia mashup for those of us who grew up with

It's been a couple of weeks since I completed the single player missions on Splinter Cell: Conviction (I guess I have to find someone to do co-op missions with now, lol).   My overall impression of the game is fairly positive.  I really liked the game play, it was reminiscent of previous Splinter Cell games, but it did manage to push the envelope a tad bit further (in a good way). 

Thanks to the wonders of Hulu and Netflix I was recently able to finish watching the entire series or Sliders.  Back when I was in high school I really liked the series, which originally aired on Fox, but, like many other shows, it was cancelled and later moved to a cable network - and I didn't have cable. I really wanted to find out what happened to the gang after all these years so I started

I haven't paid much attention to the library world in the past couple of weeks while I get acclimated to my new job, and while I've been playing around with various learning management systems (since we're moving from WebCT Vista to something else).  I came across a blog post in the ACRLog the other day but didn't have much of an opportunity to read it until now. Its title "Why all the fuss over

Last fall I won a pre-release copy of the book Half-Made World by Felix Gilman - this was through GoodReads.com. Sadly with all the homework and school reading I didn't really get to read the book right away.  Well, with school over I was able to finally pick up the book and read it. I thought that since I do not read a lot of fiction it would be a good change of pace for my reading habits. The

Τις προάλλες τελείωσα να παρακολουθώ την ελληνική εκδοχή της αγγλικής σειράς coupling. Ξέρω, ξέρω, κατά τα δεδομένα σας είναι παμπάλαια η σειρά, αλλά εγώ τώρα έτυχε να την δω! Εντάξει, καλή ήταν αλλά τα το σενάριο ήταν σχεδόν ακριβώς

This is pretty humorous: St. George and the Dragonet, for all you Dragnet fans out there!

Πριν κανά δυό μέρες μίλαγα με την μάνα μου και μου είπε να κοιτάξω στο YouTube για ένα βίντεο από τα νέα ενός τοπικού καναλιού που έδειχνε έναν Ελληνοαμερικανό πιτσαδόρο να λεει την ιστορία του στους ρεπόρτερ για κάποιον που

I love a good parody! I was looking at materials for the Canvas LMS (learning management system) and I came across a parody of the infamous 1984 Apple Mac ad. I guess you have to be in the "in" crowd to get the references though ;-)

A number of SMS, and group SMS, apps have come out on the iPhone AppStore (and in other smartphone AppStores for that matter).  Ping Chat was something that came out first (as far as I remember), then textPlus, then kik, and more recently a former "check-in" service,  BrightKite, got into the group texting game.  Heck, even BlackBerry is thinking about brining their BlackBerry Messenger
