Size of Space

0 comments | Monday, January 15, 2007

Many people have trouble visualizing the shear size of the universe. They may look like dim lights in the night sky but some of most recognizable stars are almost the size of our solar system.

Online Flash Commodore 64

0 comments | Sunday, January 14, 2007

The good old days. Days when even programing complex things meant you only needed to know one or perhaps two programing languages. When 64kb of memory was sufficient to produce games that are even now played with joy. There are many Commodore 64 emulator software out there but all of them are, lets say, not that user friendly.
Darron Schall and Claus Wahlers created an interesting Flash and Action Script implementation of C64 emulation. Once you load the page with the emulator it automatically loads the start message we all know and love from C64 and strait on we can play games or program the legendary machine.
Emulation is still not complete and a list of things has to be added but I love it. It would also be nice if you could save the program you made or upload your own games, stretch the emulation to full screen and etc.

Wikimapia is to Google maps as Wikipedia is to general encyclopedia. The concept is simple, take Google Maps and stick on it little boxes indicating that certain locations have wiki entries.

The Phrase Finder

0 comments | Saturday, January 06, 2007

Ever so often someone tells us a phrase we haven't heard before, of have heard it but don't know the meaning of it. The Phrase Finder is an awful site to look at but has almost all phrases that are used. One of my favorite is "Generation X" which is a phrase that describes people born between 1960 and 1970 goes something like this:
The ultimate responsibility of Generation X is to guide the human race through the final and crucial decades of this explosive century into the enlightenment of the next one.
Charles Hamblett and Jane Deverson's

Well, they got that one wrong.
