VHS casette hacked into USB drive? Yes, please {Engadget}
Apr 22nd 2009 5:05PM Y'know what would be slightly more interesting than this? Creating a VHS tape-shaped device into which I could insert flash memory and then play digital video in my VCR. Then I could get some use out of that dusty old thing in the back of my TV cabinet. (Except I probably wouldn't, because I blew that $100 a WD TV...)

Schedule Makes Sunday Ticket Less Appealing for Steelers Fans {Fanhouse NFL Blog}

Palm Pre Classic emulator demoed on video {Engadget}
Apr 3rd 2009 11:44AM I only care about one app on this emulator: SlingPlayer.
I'm a soccer fan. (And a former soccer blogger for AOL's FanHouse, for disclosure purposes.) A lot of the big European matches during the week kick off in the afternoon here, and I can't get away from the office to watch them -- nor can I use Sling.com on my company's network. So I watch on my Treo using SlingPlayer. I watched most of EURO 2008 on the Treo, and I plan on doing the same with the FIFA Confederations Cup, which takes place in South Africa, this June.
Sling's in no hurry to make SlingPlayer for the Pre. If SlingPlayer works in emulation, however, I will definitely switch this summer. Make it happen, Palm.
Wagyu - The Best Way to Burger {Slashfood}
Mar 31st 2009 4:35PM $85? Are they joking? Fossil Farms will sell you 12 8 oz. Kobe Beef patties for $45 + shipping.
PES 2009 trailer includes footage of 'digital soccer' {Joystiq Nintendo}
Mar 31st 2009 8:12AM I just lost an entire weekend to this game. I pre-ordered it after enjoying PES 2008 so much. The control system is what makes this game so awesome. It's basically point-and-click football. You put the players and the ball exactly where you want them, and the game flows from there.
They improved the Champions Road mode, making it a bit more involved. So far, I've got a 4-star line-up that's ready for the Champions League. They've also added a feature in Champions Road where you can develop a Mii into a player. So far, though, my attempts to turn my pudgy balding ass into the next Wayne Rooney haven't worked so well. Gotta figure out a way to fix that.
Haven't messed with the Manager Mode yet. I'll try that next, I think.
Cave Story dev: Nintendo opens Wii to Flash development {Joystiq Nintendo}
Mar 13th 2009 9:55AM So they won't put Flash 9 on the web browser, but they'll let developers sell Flash games through Wii Ware. This sounds sufficiently crappy.
Bucs Fans Rise Up Against Jerramy Stevens {Fanhouse NFL Blog}
Jun 4th 2008 4:06PM Larry: The official reason the rape charges were dropped was lack of evidence. Keep in mind, though, that he's been arrested multiple times, the DUI charges stuck, and Stevens was sentenced to jail time for them.
Duemig might be a jerk -- sports talk radio is full of those -- but I honestly think you'd be hard pressed to find a lot of people who would defend Jerramy Stevens.
Why Can't McBride Choose His MLS Team? {Fanhouse Soccer Blog}
Jun 4th 2008 11:14AM Horatio: No different from anything else in MLS, you mean. Show me one other soccer league in the world that operates with a stupid rule like this. Hell, show me one other sports league in America that "allocates" veteran free agents.
It's Mickey Mouse, and it ought to be changed.
Jose Mourinho Takes His Special Brand of Crazy to Inter Milan {Fanhouse Soccer Blog}
Jun 2nd 2008 5:22PM Phenn: That's only true if the new Chelsea manager decides he wants to keep those players. In the case of Lamps and Essien, any manager probably would, but if they spot a dynamic central midfielder at EURO 2008 that can be had for 15 million quid, they might choose to sell Essien to Inter for 20 million to pay for him.
Stranger things have happened in this game, after all.
