  • bildr » Triple Axis Magnetometer HMC5883L + Arduino
    Very good explanation of this.

  • Mindquirk | Xbox Live Friends
    "Xbox Live Friends is a tool for keeping a vigilant eye on what all of your friends are doing." It's much improved from previous versions, too. Enjoying this quite a lot.

  • Good design: The ten commandments of Dieter Rams
    These feel about right. Or, at least, about right if you agree with Rams as both a designer and a provider of commandments. He's hard to argue with, for sure.

  • Defend Moscow on MySpace Music – Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Videos
    Defend Moscow are a friend's new band, and their single "Manifesto" is out very, very soon; big, eighties-influenced pop, with slightly filthy bass and that classic boy/girl harmony thing going on. Hoping for good things for this, so into the links it goes!

  • Gamasutra – The Game Developer Archives: 'Monsters From the Id: The Making of Doom '
    "Starting a new column reprinting classic Game Developer magazine articles, this January 1994 premiere issue article goes behind the scenes of Id Software's Doom, talking to John Carmack and revealing technical specifics of the seminal game's creation." And it's cracking – lots of great detail, some neat ironies, and quite a bit about the id team's fondness for NeXT workstations.

  • An Episode Of The Online Games Review Show Consolevania
    Consolevania is over. A shame, but they make their case well, and it was lovely when it lasted.

  • Dopplr Blog » Blog Archive » Dopplr presents the Personal Annual Report 2008: freshly generated for you, and Barack Obama…
    "We’ve generated what we call the Personal Annual Report for all our users. It’s a unique-to-you PDF of data, visualisations and factoids about your travel in 2008, that we’re delivering over the next week via email to every Dopplr user who travelled in 2008. To give you an example, we thought we’d show you the Personal Annual Report of someone who’s had a very busy 2008 – President Elect Barack Obama." This is super-awesome. Can't wait for mine, no matter how small it is.

  • Strawman
    "Your argument did not address my own, but nice try". I think I'm going to need this in future.

  • Cool Stuff: Olly Moss’s Poster Remakes | /Film
    These are lovely. The more I think about this, the more I like his Die Hard poster.

  • Acceleration Due to Gravity: Super Mario Brothers
    "The purpose of this analysis is to determine the evolution of gravity in the Mario video game series as video game hardware increases." Not super-accurate, but not bad; the bit when it starts the comparison against GPU word length is a little silly, perhaps. But otherwise: fun!

  • The Mid-Century Modernist: Polaroid SX-70 Film by the Eames
    "[the film] presents the simple joy of photography and, without hyperbolizing or talking down to its audience, gives a comprehensive explanation of how the camera works." Lovely film explaining the way the SX-70 works, from the Eames brothers; the explanation of how the film itself works is beautiful.
