Still Free On Air Force One

Although this was an elaborate hoax, Marco Ecko has done something that would have put him in the hall of fame for graffiti. He has tagged the U.S. President’s Air Force One jet with the words, “Still Free”. Well not the actual Air Force One jet but one that was painted to look exactly the same. A second video on his sight StillFree.com explains what his motivation was. It seems Marco Ecko a graffiti artist turned clothes designer/game developer (Marco Ecko’s Getting Up) feels that his rights are being trampled upon. He has recently went to court against New York’s governor to defend his first amendent rights. He feels that America needs to be able to express themselves in which ever media they so chose. Whether you think it is wrong or right it definitely says alot about our rights and the way America handles things.

AM-DeadLink: Bookmarks Obey

AM-DeadLink will break the disobeying bookmarks that clutter your internet browser. What AM-DeadLink does is simple it will search and locate duplicate bookmarks and give the option of destroying them. AM-DeadLink is freeware and work with Internet Explorer, Opera, Mozilla and Firefox (My current favorite). If that was all it did it would be enough for me because that is what I needed but it does stop there. AM-DeadLink will also go through your bookmarks and check if the links are dead hence the name. Also a little bonus I found great was that it will update your favicons (the icons next to the sight) in the bookmarks. Works as advertised and it is free so what are you waiting for? On a sidenote: AM-DeadLink helped reduce 700 bookmarks to about 300 bookmarks.

All Kinds Of Stuff From John K.

Who is John K. you ask? What is all kinds of stuff? Why do pigs fly? I will answer in the order given. First, John K. is the creator Ren & Stimpy and the proud owner of Spumco (which was reported here). Second, all kinds of stuff is John K.’s blog where he talks about new shows, caricatures, animation techniques and more. The last and final answer is that Ren & Stimpy – The Lost Episodes will be released on July 18, 2006. What does that have to do with pigs flying, well I thought I would never get new episodes of Ren & Stimpy. Another bonus to John K.’s all kinds of stuff is that he has posted sneak previews of the DVD. Enjoy.

I AM 8-BIT: version 2.006

Gallery Nineteen Eighty Eight will be host of the second annual I AM 8-BIT nicely dubbed, verison 2.006. I AM 8-BIT: version 2.006 is an art show that lets over hundred artists give their interpretation of 1980’s video games through different media. It varies from canvas to t-shirts to cloth and last year there was even a Pac-Man grenade. Now if you can imagine that then you will enjoy this pixel parade of people’s perception. The show begins April 18th and will run until May 19th, 2006. More information can be found at iam8bit.net and nineteeneightyeight.com and to wet your appetite as what is in store here is a wallpaper from iam8bit.net. Is that who I think that is?

Battle of the Beats 2 Update

Battle of the Beats 2 will be landing at Project Blowed on April 20th, 2006 and will be one not to miss. The event will begin at 9:00 pm and will feature up and coming producers presenting their best tracks. Again my compadre, Detrimental Storm will be in attendance and giving people the chance to hear the beats that he has in his arsenal. It should be a great show and for more information check my previous Battle of the Beats 2 post or the official sight. If your lucky there may be an appearance by the Ecliptic one himself.

CS:S Quick Update 3

Looks like Steam and Counter-Strike: Source are at it again with another round of updates. First up are two more player models one for the terrorist: Artic and one for the counter terrorist: GSG9. If your player models are not showing the new models open your config and add cl_minmodels 0 to show all the models. Next on the update list in HDR lighting on the de_dust map. The update that was greatly appreciated by me was the “improved lag compensation”. This made my game run smoother without using hacks or workarounds for my hyperthreading computer. If it happened to you then you know how big of an improvement this is. Here is a shot from de_dust HDR lighting with the new Artic Avenger model.
