Patapon: I normally can’t stand rhythm games, but this one is a ton of fun.
iPhone SDK: Finally! Looks great to me, but I am not happy about the ‘no background apps’ policy. I’d like 3rd party chat apps and feed readers to be able to alert me from the background. Hopefully, background [...]

I’m making a Knight Rider (KITT) Light Bar to celebrate the premier of the new Knight Rider Made-For-TV Movie (tomorrow night on NBC). I’m using an Arduino Diecimila board and 18 LEDs.
Here’s a picture from a few hours ago. [...]
I’m halfway through Bioshock on the PC (widescreenmod!) and William Gibson’s new book, Spook Country. Both are great so far.
I’m also really enjoying this season of Eureka!
Join fun-loving brothers Jamie and Bobby Deen (sons of Paula Deen) as they hit the road and cross the country in search of the best local, hand-crafted foods. Armed with wit, ingenuity and a passion for all things food, the Deen boys offer a fresh, fun look at the specialty stores and family run businesses [...]
I’ve been watching this show on BBC America. I enjoyed previous episodes, but this season is amazing. Tonight’s episode was one of the best.
Episode six - Clubway 41
Despite being voted Restaurant of the Year by the local tourist board, Clubway 41 is in dire straits. It’s the prime example of how not to run a [...]
Since this is the last season of the West Wing, Dave is thinking-out-loud about ways to save it.
Put it on a stage in a high school auditorium. Make it a Sims scenario. It’s the story, the characters, their brightness and integrity that I value. Sure it’s nice that the sets look cool, but that’s not [...]
It’s insane. Excerpt from Jonathan Storm’s review:
These women may take wiseacre aliases, dress outlandishly, and knock each other down as they skate insanely round and round a little oval, but they’re as real as a black eye after a barroom brawl. Their TV show sits you right down, documentary style, into the subculture and [...]
My DVR is recording the wrong shows. I’m guessing it’s a DST thing. No mention of it on the boards, yet.
My Motorola DCT 6412 DVR from Comcast has crashed 3 Monday’s in a row at 9:30pm. I’m not alone, though.
I’m calling Comcast.
Update: Called Comcast. The guy said he’d reset my box(which hasn’t happened). Whatever.
Update II: SJMerc article linked from wematter. Sounds like a patch will be available in 3 weeks.
Update III: [...]
Haven’t tested this, but it sounds promising. Linkeroo.

The index page for Cartoon Network’s Clone Wars has been removed from their site. This page at StarWars.com indicates that you have to pay for the Hyperspace service to get the files. That sucks. The links I posted the other day still work, but I don’t know for how long.
Action figures for the Teen Titans cartoon(now in season 2) are out. Made by Bandai and sold by WickedCoolStuff.com. Not as cool as I’d hoped, but at least they have the same happy-go-lucky feel as the show.
Episode Guide and show details here.
Pictures here.
Ep 20 was a nice wrap-up. Also, a new character was introduced. Remember, you can watch all 20 episodes at the Cartoon Network site. See the end of this post for direct links to the quicktime files for each episode and its commentary.
The Star Wars Databank has been updated to include information [...]
