1337 Search Results for Nintendo

Just a silly little screenshot I took today looking for wallpapers on deviantART. Yes indeed it says 1337 search results for nintendo. And for those not hip to “leet speak” 1337=leet=elite.

Apple WWDC ‘08 Keynote

Apple WWDC ‘08 Keynote QuickTime Stream - Watch this morning’s keynote from Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference.

Futurama BwaBB Pre-Ordered

Just showing off our pre-order of Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs. What can I say, PolyVector and I are huge Futurama fans. The image links to the Amazon.com pre-order page.

WWDC is Going to Break Twitter Tomorrow

Just a heads up for everyone not following the Apple blogosphere. Apple’s WWDC (Word Wide Developers Conference) is tomorrow and quite a few huge sites are going to live tweet the whole thing. This is going to cause Twitter to melt down. So be prepared for lots of Twitter downtime tomorrow. You have been warned!

Popping Corn with Your Cell

I had to share this video (thanks to eggplanteer for the link) of pop corn being popped by a few cell phones. Really makes you think about what you are putting next to your brain…

The Yawn

It’s funny how catching a picture of an animal yawning makes them look so ferocious despite how gentle (and in this case feeble) they might be. This image was finally snapped by PolyVector today, and he’s been trying for a long time now to get a picture of Prancer yawning.

Gravatar Finally Fixes Transparency Issue

Gravatar Image Transparency Fixed - If you happen to be using a PNG/GIF with a transparent or alpha-blended background and a few months ago it ended up turning black, it has finally been fixed! The only thing is you will need to re-upload your avatar in order for the fix to take place.

Apple Offering Keynotes Podcast

Apple Keynotes Podcast (iTunes Store link) - You can now catch all the Apple events via the official video podcast. This is great timing since WWDC ‘08 is coming up on the 9th.

PolyVector’s New Guitar Stand

PolyVector’s new OnStage Folding Guitar Stand arrived today! You can check out more pictures of the stand and the guitar in our ibanez album on Picasa Web Albums.

New Design and New Ideas

I spent a decent portion of last night before bed and then today getting Atomac ready for its overhaul. PolyVector was awesome enough to redo the logo and help out with the header. I am just not good with PHP and CSS.

The basic idea is Atomac is going to be pretty much a tumbleblog. It will be a mixture of short person articles like a journal as well as image posts. This will help me feel the need to fill less white space.

Some new things that you probably don’t need me to tell you about are all in the navigation. The biggest addition is the Photo gallery. Since Atomac is purely person now I think all these changes will be for the better. I don’t expect everyone to get something out of this little blog, but I know family and close friends will (I hope) like it.
