I’ve seen a couple of sketches on various forums – but ZZoMBiE13 took the whole ‘visualizing the Chickenpede’ thing to a new level. A level that… scares me.(Louis Wu 16:59:50 UTC)

It’s Friday, so it’s time for a Fan Fiction update. One of the unfortunate side effects of last week’s database wipe was the loss of about 15 recent Fan Fiction stories – so earlier this week, I’d posted a note on the Fan Fiction forum, explaining that…

What can you learn by visiting Bungie’s Comm Chatter today? Well, you can read about ContactTango, who has just completed his 650th Vidmaster Annual run (that’s insane, you know), and you can learn about the Halocharts.com 2nd Annual Big Team Battle T…

Stormwraith pointed out a funky little boot animation for rooted Android devices – someone modified the Deliver Hope trailer to have Google nuking Apple. Heh. (I wish the aspect ratio was better…) (Louis Wu 22:14:35 UTC)

I’m still buried neck-deep in reconstruction work (and will be for a couple of weeks, it looks like) – but I’m going to take a few minutes to clear out some of the tidbits that have run across my desk recently. Braxton Colongione (you might remember hi…

This newspost is dated the 5th because that’s when most of the work was done – but it’s being written on the 6th. The server hosting HBO’s database (and a boatlod of other stuff) was attacked, and wiped clean. As far as I can tell, the only goal was to…
