JeffK is a pudding

I went looking for JeffK's guide to the new consoles again (3rd time now) and yet again I totally forgot he'd haX0red his own web site. Slightly amusing the first time, but I wish he'd un-haX0r it so I can get the damn article I want.

The first accurate history of the net.

I've seen a lot of very inaccurate, incomplete and sometimes even parallely-universey accounts of the history of the Internet. This time however I think I've found the definative truth: The History of The Internet. Read it and be enlightened...

The answer (or part of it anyway) is here.

Nokia N-Gage

Is that an N-Gage in your pocket, or are you just pleased to see me...It looks bloody huge, and really lumpy for a phone, but with Sonic and Super Monkey Ball running on it, it may be worth the discomfort. Probably need some sort of self-charging portable fusion power generator to give you enough battery life to speak after a game or two of Tomb Raider.

Speed Stacking

I tuned into Blue Peter one afternoon I didn't happen to be working, and saw these kids stacking and unstacking cups at an incredible rate. Supposedly this is a new sport that they are getting at some schools round the country. But come on, its hardly worth a Blue Peter badge. Once upon a time they were harder to get than a Queens Pardon. Anyway, if you want to see what this mental wee sport is all about look here.

The girls of E3

Not for a moment do I believe that any of these girls go home and play on their XBox, or get online to Counter-Strike, and I doubt they even went close to the Half Life 2 booth. Lets face it, they were paid to pull us geeks over to their stands...and it works a treat. check out the E3 Girls.

XBox sized McDonalds

"The Xbox is the largest video game system known to man, and now we offer the largest fries and Coke known to man, and with a Double Big Mac it's about the same price as an Xbox." Read the rest here.

Millenium Falcon PC

I know that I have mentioned the Mini-ITX site before, for all the cool PC cases people have made. But never did I expect to see a Millenium Falcon PC case. It may be a bit geeky, but I love it. I am going to scour the attic tonight to see what I can make my next PC from. Maybe a Tonka truck, or an Evil Knievel bike winder-upper. The possibilities are endless.
