Taking on Ipod

From the “believe it when I see it” file:

iflock.gif Several companies have banded together to take down Apple’s iPod. Microsoft will be allying with Toshiba, Victor, NTT DoCoMo and five other companies to release music playing services and players that will challenge the iPod. Microsoft will be developing the software while Toshiba and Victor develop the players, and DoCoMo will add mobile phone functionality to this system.

Fun new game to teach the kids

When they start with “I’m bored,” why don’t you teach them this new and fascinating game?

Rock Paper Scissors 25, which is just like Rock Paper Scissors but there are twenty five options instead of just three, leading to over 300 outcomes. New hand gestures such as Sun (melts scissors, shines through paper) and Dragon (rests upon rock, flosses with dynamite) are now available.

If you want to see them all listed (it’s a hoot, trust me), go directly to the poster.  You can also check out their other RPS game variants.

Found via Boing, Boing and you can read their story here.

Found the man

I re-created the icon.  And I think it’s linked correctly now (we shall see)

Actually, I redid it using Favicon maker- Create a favicon from any image, and it couldn’t have been any easier.
