Commented on Little shocks: IG Fun show off iPhone/mobile BioShock
If the demo is a sign, it will be out for more than just iPhones. In that first video they are playing it on a Nokia N95, so it will at least be out for Symbian based phones as well....
Commented on Blog War! Help Offworld defeat Rock, Paper, Shotgun, The Escapist in a three-way Planetside battle! Recruiting now!
I would love to play. I frequent this blog and RPS, but your indie-game attitude has me hooked, so I'll proudly wave the Offworld banner given the chance!!!...
Commented on Twelve Hours Sleep by Twelve Weeks Old: the best parenting book I've read
Also, #3, the Ferber method is controversial because it is awful. The American Academy of Pediatrics has linked it to failure to thrive, and under no circumstances recommend it. It also runs contrary to EVERYTHING we know about the psychological...
Commented on Twelve Hours Sleep by Twelve Weeks Old: the best parenting book I've read
Does the book point out the fact that many 12 week olds have a physiological NEED to eat more often, and that forcing them to sleep for 12 straight hours can lead to failure to thrive? Or that for breastfeeding...
Commented on 1960s and 1970s Denver pop culture open thread
I lived in an old apartment next to Gates Rubber a couple years back, and I took a walk down to Blinky's with my 1 year old daughter in a sling. I remember watching Blinky on before Mr. Rodgers every...
Commented on EdgeStar fan includes swamp cooler, drop-in ice packs
Swamp coolers are incredible, in a dry climate. Coastal cities (such as New York) do no qualify as a dry climate. That said, the small "personal" swamp coolers are actually fairly ineffective. Last summer I lived in a small, uninsulated,...
Commented on Needle inspired by mosquito
Those needles would be great for diabetics. I doubt you'd have much trouble with hemolysis, because the flow of blood is so slow. The diameter of the needle is no problem, because blood cells can fit through capillaries, which are...
Commented on Beaming sounds into your head
Beaming microwaves directly into people's heads? Huh...sounds foolproof! Nothing could POSSIBLY go wrong with that, could it? *silently anticipates overnight quadrupling of brain cancer cases*...
Commented on Bill Gates' 2003 flame email about Moviemaker
I just like that BILL FREAKIN GATES is running XP on his personal computer. If that doesn't tell you what a piece of crap Vista is, nothing will....
Commented on Storm Worm invents fictional events to entrap victims
"Donald Trump kidnaps Eiffel Tower, earthquake feared?" Who gets REAL news in their email from unknown sources? I have NEVER got a legitimate email about a news story, except from people I already know. Therefor I can safely assume that...
Commented on MPAA sez, "We shouldn't have to prove infringement took place before collecting $150k per file in damages"
Funny this should come up now! See, I was cleaning out my attic the other day and I found an old notebook of mine from middle school. I just put news clippings and stuff I found and thought was neat...
Commented on Weekend Mayhem: Come Play Team Fortress 2 With Boing Boing!
Oh yeah, and a standing invite to everyone to join eGo, which is the best TF2 clan there is! Just go to edgegamers.org and tell 'em subtle sent you!...
Commented on Weekend Mayhem: Come Play Team Fortress 2 With Boing Boing!
That was fun! It was especially good because it was free of people farming medic achievements (which has really sucked recently). I play medic about half the time (and soldier the other half), but I haven't been recently because there...
Commented on Weekend Mayhem: Come Play Team Fortress 2 With Boing Boing!
I may pop on later. I'm a regular on TF2. My id is =(e)=subtle_turtle (the =(e)= part is a clan tag)....
Commented on Malware gets a EULA
That's nothing. You should see the EULA my dealer made me sign last time I bought Heroin (v1.0) from him! "In the event that Heroin becomes your drug interface of choice, the user agrees that all future "licenses" will be...
Commented on Saveourtacotrucks.org
I don't live in LA, but if they took my taco carts away from me (I live in Denver), I would riot in the streets. They are cheaper than Taco Bell, and better than most any brick and mortar Mexican...
Commented on Latte-froth printer
My uncle had an old blotter printer like that that he used to print CAD blueprints. It was back in the late 80's early 90's and it cost a fortune, but I loved watching the little mechanical arm squirt ink...
Commented on Public 'skine.art Moleskine blog
I've always wanted to keep a cool notebook journal, but I've never been able to keep it up after a couple days (same with any blogs I've ever done). My mom, who is an accomplished fiber artist and painter, makes...
Commented on Man whose house was hit by five meteors believes he is targeted by aliens
I don't know, what are the odds of one house getting hit by meteorites 5 times? The guy may have a point. The question is, what did he do to piss the aliens off?...
Commented on Scary art-cameras made from human remains, HIV+ blood and tragic objects
80% heparin will kill most anything... It's pretty toxic stuff in concentration. I really like the craftsmanship you have. That's some amazing work you did! When you show the photos, will you show the camera with them? It would be...
Commented on Scary art-cameras made from human remains, HIV+ blood and tragic objects
It wouldn't be physically dangerous to use HIV+ blood, because the virus isn't exactly hardy outside the body, and in any case, the amount of anti-coagulant needed to keep the blood liquid would be toxic to just about anything. Conceptually...
Commented on Bad Questions to Ask a Transsexual + "Stunning": Calpernia Addams.
I imagine that the stupid questions would be less annoying then the constant behind your back judging that a transsexual endures, particularly those that are not "passing." I was involved in a surgery (rhinoplasty) for a young woman who was...
Commented on Surgeons perform erroneous anal surgery
I work in an OR and if this happened in my OR HEADS WOULD ROLL. We verify the procedure so often with both the doctor and the patient before we do anything that they (the doctor and patient) get annoyed...
Commented on Air safety proposal: shock-bracelets controlled by flight attendants
That's a great idea! Where can I invest? Is the company traded on any exchanges? Or can we just create a new "terror futures" exchange and start profiting on our growing paranoia? I'll buy dirty-bomb at $35! Why stop with...

bluesboy22 commented on 1960s and 1970s Denver pop culture open thread
Whoa ... what memories! I'm wondering if anyone has any info about the bands in the early/mid/late 60s. I used to go to the Rugged Room, if anyone remembers it (on Alameda?). There's one band in particular I would like to find out if any recordings exist. Anyone remember "Fuzz", from Thornton? "Lothar and the Hand People"? KIMN radio had a battle of the bands at the Denver Arena downtown (gee, I think that was the name of it - it's now part of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts). Maybe there's a good website with this kind of...
kip w commented on 1960s and 1970s Denver pop culture open thread
stantoni, the missing line is "And we'll have fun, just you and me / on K... L... Z!" Also, more information about Jay Mack, Niles Lishness and Farley McLooth can be found on the internet. Some of it was surprising to me. I knew about his heart attack when he was doing an overnight show, but was somehow unaware of the car crash at the height of his fame that led to his later health problems, or that he died a few months after having his life saved by an alert listener. A sad end for one of two disk...

Mountain States Bank on east Colfax... They had a pretty catchy ad on the radio around 1982. I don't have the actual audio, but I soooo remember it: (Chorus group) Oh they say that time is money, so you spend it drivin' 'round, Drinking dollar gasoline and smellin' up the town, Searching for a parking place that you can call your own, (Woman's voice) Hey, there's a spot (Man's voice) Oh no it's not, it's a (honk honk) loading zone. (Chorus group again) Now, is this any way to bank, any way to bank? Driving 'round in circles while you're...
