Neat!
SFMOMA is testing out podcasts as a companion to their exhibits. I haven't been up to MOMA in the past few months, and I haven't seen the Richard Tuttle exhibit yet, so I'll have to snarf this and try it out. There's two versions - one for iPod Photos that have image capability and a plain audio version. I guess I could look at the Photo version with my PSP, but I'll probably just take the regular audio version and go to the museum and use my somewhat higher-resolution analog eyeballs.
I just wish they had started this for the Robert Bechtle exhibit which was my favorite MOMA thing in a long while.

I'm not going to say anything about this - I'm just going to put the links up and let people read 'em. The noise you hear is me grinding my teeth, but that's all.

Slouching Towards Seattle
So I'm flying out to Seattle tonight. I'll only be gone three days, but they should be pretty packed. Tonight I meet up with The Jackal(tm) for a late dinner. Friday I spend the day at Wizards going over novel stuff and getting the big tour, and then head over to PAX for the weekend. Karin is meeting me Friday night, after she gets out of school. Saturday and Sunday is more PAX, then we fly back to listen to the cats lament about their weekend unsupervised.
It's a geeky Tour De Force! Should be a lot of fun.

This Spartan Life
(I saw this originally at Gizmodo but it was also linked from Boing Boing recently.)
Take a look at This Spartan Life. It's a mechanima talk show. So it's a talk show - but it's entirely shot inside Halo 2. They have guests do things like drive in with Warthogs, they take virtual tours of Halo levels while conducting interviews. It's an interesting concept, and it has some genuinely funny moments. Plus - the Solid Gold Elite Dancers. What's not to like?
Oh and all the music is done by 8-bit so it's all Game Boy goodness.
I'm not convinced right now that it will be sustainable as opposed to just a novelty concept, but the first episode is worth your time.

Shades of 3DO
Has everyone seen the rumor that the 360 will cost over $450 at launch? Hopefully it's just crazy talk because nobody is going to want to pay that. Even though that have that one killer game. You know. That game. That makes you want a 360 at launch. Enough to buy it even though you know it's going to be obseleted by a HD-DVD version later.
I truly, truly don't undestand what is going on in Xbox land. I only know one person who seems even vaguely excited and that person is not an early adopter so it doesn't matter.
I'd consider a $299 console, but if it comes in over $400 fuck them. That's insane.
EDIT: Now the word is that the bare bones is $299 while the pimped version is $399.
