Okay, Useless Technology Update.
Although I’m pretty sure no one has it personally, keep an eye out; I need a copy of “Suzuka 8 Hours” for the Super Nintendo.

One of my little toys is a SNES Disk Backup/Rom Emulation system, that can do a lot of stuff, but not special chipset rendering.
So games like Starfox, Super Mario Kart and Pilotwings don’t work on it. But with a special auxilary card that contains the DSP chipset, it will play them just fine.
Someone informed me tonight that Suzuka 8 Hours has what amounts to an open-access DSP chipset in it. For all intents and purposes, this supposedly causes it to function like a DSP plugin card. I didn’t believe the concept at ALL , so I tested it with Super Mario Kart.
Now, SMK will lock up upon starting a race, when loaded from diskette. But I tried loading it from diskette while I had the game itself in the slot normally reserved for the plugin card (but not accessed in ANY way by the game ROM) and suddenly it worked.. it was a bit glitchy… but the system was getting minor usage of the DSP chipset in the Super Mario Kart Cartridge….

Minor updates today: moved those goofy ICQ things to their own goofy little box.

I also finalized my stupendous T-shirt designs!

GO BUY ONE!

I’m only making fifty cents off everything; be a sport and support my Mountain Dew habit.

I tried to get this for Unx today, but traffic was too heavy to make off with it. Sorry.

Tourette Syndrome Barbie is here. It’s a shame I don’t have kids (but only on occasion).

Just realized that there was a site using blogger that Eric doesn’t know about (at least, not that I know of) – domesticat.net. This is Amy’s site, a good friend. The quantity of similarities between us is very disturbing, but I love her anyways. Truly a wondergeek at heart.

A friend of mine sent me this link to what looks like a fun toy. Everyone needs an inflatable titanic slide in their back yard (well, assuming you don’t live in a shitty apartment like me.). 🙂

Pee-wee football time yet again on Sand Mountain. Somebody lock me in a closet, PLEASE. I do not wish to be responsible for orphaning all of those children in the midst of one of my fits. It just really would not matter much at all (from a legal standpoint) that I would be freeing same children from a life of servitude to parents that choose to live vicariously through little Jon and Jen….

It seems like there has been a Pixies fetish wave or something sweeping over most of my friends lately. I’ve had my copy of Doolittle in a lot, Unx has been listening to them, and even one of my hard core goth friendshas been talking about them. Damnit, I want a reunion tour or something. Pixies rock. I spent a large portion of my high school years sitting in my bedroom, depressed as hell, playing “Wave of Mutilation” on repeat. For hours.

Macromedia now has some nifty shockwave versions of old Midway arcade games. Stuff like joust, defender, sinistar, robotron, satan’s hollow …

No! Hooray for ME!! I am the prowd owner of one of an Aiwa CDC-MP3. I installed it last night and I’m loving it so far. I’m currently playing a CD-RW full of raver kid music as a test (well ok not currently but when I’m in the car). I’ll probably get around to posting a half assed review next week after I’ve banged on it a bit.

oh and COULD SOMEONE PLEASE STOP THAT INCESSANT BLINKING?!?!
