IE 7 and Streaming Issues
Anyone else having trouble using the play button on the Songs page while using Internet Explorer 7 on a Windows machine? Don’t tell me they broke it…
Code Monkey Animated Series
G4 TV will debut a new animated series this Spring called “Code Monkeys,” the story of a group of 80s game designers. It will be animated in the style of a Super Nintendo game. No word yet on whether it will have a decent theme song.
A Cappella Assault
This story is strange for so many reasons. At a New Year’s Eve party in San Francisco, an a cappella group from Yale called the Baker’s Dozen was singing the Star Spangled Banner. A couple of locals who don’t like a cappella (or perhaps, America?) started yelling some stuff at them, calling them faggots, making fun of their ties, probably also their jazz hands. Nothing out of the ordinary so far – when you sing in an all male a cappella group, sometimes beefy sports-loving frat boys hate you.
But then one of the hecklers called in reinforcements (what the?) and threatened “I’m 20 deep, my boys are coming.” When the group left the party, a van full of his boys jumped them and beat them up, sending one of them to the hospital with a broken jaw. There’s now some talk that the police investigation has been a little less than thorough.
CES Videos
I just got back yesterday from a few days in Vegas at CES (the Consumer Electronics Show), doing some video blogging with FutureGirl for PopSci. Now my feet hurt, my TV seems too small, and the stripper I fell in love with won’t call me back. But that’s CES for you!
We put together four different videos, each of them having the theme “we walk around and look at stuff. You can see them here, here, here and here. If you watch the beginning of the last one closely, you may see a thin strip of my belly. Lucky you.
