The Official Stephen Colbert Green Screen Challenge

The Official Stephen Colbert Green Screen Challenge

Just when you thought that the Star Wars Kid had finally faded from pop culture Stephen Colbert comes around to squeeze one last joke out of it.

During a recent segment profiling the electoral district in which George Lucas lives, Colbert recreated the old Star Wars Kid video in front of a green screen. The fan response has been great. Click, watch, vote, enjoy.

Something Awful - Flash Tub Adventure

Something Awful: The Internet Makes You Stupid

This is goddamn fantastic. It's an adventure game done in the 'Choose Your Own Adventure' format made by Shmorky. The Maniac Mansion ending is one of my favourites but everything in is is hilarious. Definitly worth a few minutes of anyones time.

Apple - QuickTime - WWDC 2006

Apple - QuickTime - WWDC 2006

This is why I love Steve Jobs. He makes everything sound so desireable. The hilight was the Leopard previews. Time Machine, while not really desireable for me is extremely impressive. Complete backward searching and automatic backuping. A lot of new additional features for Dashboard, Mail and a new interface program called "Spaces". I was really impressed by Spaces. Expose made using the computer so much easier but Spaces goes as far as giving you separate collections of windows that you can easily swap between. I'm really looking forward to getting a MacBook now but I pretty much have to wait for Leopard to come out now.

Mac's been selling me more and more on every new release. I'd still prefer if they continued the iPod Photo but it's a small concession.
