Thanks to Robert Cox, who sends us another Halo logo for our Logos page. Hmm… gonna have to come up with another organization scheme soon… suggestions? Pax.

A bigger overview of the movers on the Halo SETI team can be found in the 14 day stats, compiled today.

SETI crunching continues unabated, the Marines undaunted by the prospect of Y2K. Go check the 24 hour stats.

Leave it to the MIT boys… Mike Wessler has written a java applet to demonstrate what a Halo orbit is. (Pretty easy to understand, even.) Read about it on our forum. Thanks, Mike!

Robert Cox writes to let us know that 100% HALO will be going down again. When it comes back, it can be similar to what it is, or an order site, or nothing… send him mail and let him know what you think.

Oops… things slip through on Holiday weekends. Mojo posted this yesterday on our forums… Guess Halam isn’t completely out of the picture. We’re getting back to work… really!

Need a free, web-based email account? Flashback writes to tell us that Freemail at HALO-NET is up and running. Stop by and sign up today! Pax.

Welcome to Chris Barker, whose addition to the SETI Marine ranks this weekend swelled our units coffers by 215. 72 hour stats posted… see who continued crunching over the Christmas weekend!

Thanks to Dead Glory, who sends in a halo-inspired screen for our Miscellaneous Art page. (You can find it at the end of the Bungie section.)

M E R R Y    C H R I S T M A S !

From the HBO crew and our families, to you and yours, we wish you the merriest of holiday seasons. Pax.

(We’ll be back updating on Sunday, the 26th.)

Roberta Garca writes to remind us that SoundJam MP comes with a Winamp converter program. So that Winamp skin mentioned earlier today can simply be converted to a SoundJam skin. Thanks for the info, Roberta!

Chris Earle sends us word of the GameSpy.com Year 2000 Preview, which (of course) mentions Halo. The most notable line in the short blurb is

It will contain a short single-player-training scenario, though the meat of the game will focus on the multi-player element.”

Short? SHORT? Hmm. We can only hope that GameSpy is incorrect. Thanks, Chris!

Those SETI Marines just don’t stop. Check out the 24 hour stats. (These will be the last stats posted until Monday. Look for 72 hour stats then.) Pax.

“No playable Halo demo at MacWorld Expo SF” says Matt Soell in our forums. Looks like they’ll be a Halo movie though. Who’s taking a video camera?

“Just updated my hompage and put out my Winamp skin Halo AMP” says Dead Glory. Right who’s going to do one for SoundJam?

Ghetto Astronaut sends in a new desktop he made for his b&w G3. You’ll find it on the Wallpaper page. Enjoy!

SonicStorm writes to tell us that BattleGround: Halo, a new Gamespy site, will be going live on January 15. There’s a teaser page up now.

A Christmas bonus from Daniel Speed, who sends us his interpretation of the marine assault rifle. We’ve added it to the Miscellaneous Art section (it’s at the end of the Original Art pages). Thanks, Daniel!

THanks to Mark Mezzetta, who sends us a tidbit from MacGamer’s Ledge. In a news item about the National Macintosh Gaming Championship to be held at next month’s MacWorld SF, MacLedge says that Bungie “will be simulcasting a MACWORLD show over the Internet right from their booth and talking about the latest developments in Oni and Halo.” We’ll be there to hear what they say… will you? Thanks, Mark!

Christmas? Bah humbug! Halo SETI marines don’t stop for Christmas. The 24 hour stats prove it. What’s your computer doing over the holidays? Put it to a good use. Join the Halo SETI marines into the new Millennium.
