  • Garry Schafer is ScribeMedia’s Director of Interactive Media. His weapons of choice are many fold, but he’s quite partial to Flex as he builds out live and on-demand media players and a host of other apps. His personal site is grimmwerks.

  • Virtual Murder Brings Real Jailtime…

    …but the whole thing is real stupid.
    According to a story found here, a 43 year old Japanese woman got so upset when her ‘virtual’ husband divorced her from a Second Life type of game (called ‘Maple Story’ I believe?) — that she hacked into his computer with his login and pass in order to kill [...]

  • Flex, Limelight and Edge Servers

    Diving into programming ScribeLive, the 2.0 version — which is being done entirely in Flex — I’ve run into the problem of not being able to pull in the Limelight video stream properly. I was banging my head against the wall — since I was capable of pulling in a live stream into Flex [...]

  • My Mother is Freakin’ Retarded

    Is my mother freaking retarded? Or am I John Mayer’s doppelganger? Well, to be fair, he IS the Kevin Costner of musicians.

  • Battle of the Batmans…

    Sheesh – I’m old enough to remember Adam West… but I think Christian Bale is the winner. However Clooney had nipples. NIPPLES!!!

  • See ya Stan

    Damn. Stan Winston passed away at age 62. The man that brought us all the special effects of the Terminator, Aliens, Men In Black, Jurassic Park, Edward Scissorhands, Predator, Batman (er…the Tim Burton version) and countless others has gone… unless his body is just from an alginate mold.
    There was a time wee [...]

    Thank you, internet, for always remembering….

  • political whiz kid…

    I grabbed this from Perez:
    A 13 year old from Texas who stole his Dad’s credit card and ordered two hookers from an escort agency, has today been convicted of fraud and given a three year community order.
    Ah to be a kid again! And remember when you didn’t know what to do with a hooker:
    Asked why [...]

  • Mac desktop as music video

    Saw this over at TUAW. Some guy named Dennis Liu made this music video for a band called The Bird and the Bee using his mac desktop. Pretty cool; and shows how a little ingenuity can go a long way.

  • New Free NIN!

    Yeah, I admit it, I read it on Perez.
    Trent’s posted a DRM-free new full length album The Slip before the actual product is scheduled to be released. Reznor says on NIN’s official site, “thank you for your continued and loyal support over the years – this one’s on me.”

  • Uni psycho

    It’s appropriate that riding this thing would be the equivalent of kicking me in my naughty bits; as the inventor, Ben Gulak is only 18 years old, and that’s enough of a kick to the groin. Canadian too. Ouch.
    It looks like one wheel, but it’s actually 2 wheels side to side and using gyroscope technology [...]
