Everything that doesn’t fit anywhere else
Mandy pointed me to a great photoblog, joe’s nyc, today. He, like many others, is protesting the possible ban on photography in NYC subways. Bans and limitations on public photography seem to be a common theme lately and it really disturbs me. Preventing photographers from taking photos of folks in public places doesn’t make anyone more secure and removes a basic right to capture a moment and share it with others. It’s all quite ridiculous.
The fine folks over at Way of the Rodent have released an awesome selection of paper print-cut-and-fold templates for some old school video arcade cabinets from the 1980’s. Now you too can have a mini version of the cabinet for Pac-Man, Tempest, or Defender sitting on your desk! I made a little Pac-Man in about 10 minutes. Mental note: buy some glue sticks. Tape is too hard to work with.
Ah, sweet sweet nostalgia! The fine folk over at b3ta.co.uk teamed up with MJ Hibbett & The Validators to come up with a brilliant piece of flash that brings back so very many memories from the days of tape-loading games and Commodore PETs. Ah.. those were the days…
