  • Bungie Webcam Widget for OSX

    The timing isn’t great, since the webcam is offline for a little bit, but Joshua Pettigrew has created a pretty cool widget for use with a wicked-cool program called Konfabulator that puts the Bungie Webcam image into a free-floating frame on your desktop, no browser required.

  • Pillar of Art Contest Update

    Just a quick note to let folks know that we’ve received the early-bird entries for the contest and have chosen the ones we can haul across the country to the Fanfest this week. (Some of them are actually being delivered to HBO West, and won’t need hauling at all.) We’d just like to say that…

  • PC Halo – Revealed!

    Wowowow. The promised Gamespy Halo PC article went online early this morning… and I’m still reeling.

    Well, Mythica’s back down to it’s standard 5 Mbit/sec serving rate, so the Birds spike is over; time for the NEXT movie. This one’s from Mister E, and it’s called ‘Timing’.
