Hot: This is what happens when cultural icons collide, in many colorful, delightful ways. Monty Python’s Spanish Inquisition sketch has stood out from their amazingly memorable show (Monty Python’s Flying Circus! Go watch it on Netflix or something), and has blossomed into a lasting cultural reference, at least among the geeks. Here we see that [...]
Hot: I realize that everyone’s probably already sick to death of hearing about Chrome, but I thought I’d chime in anyway. Here’s a memory usage shot of Chrome versus Opera. Click the image to see the big picture It’s not really a fair comparison, as the same things aren’t open, but I realized that with [...]
Hot: It all started with a simple link to BoingBoing, which I don’t ordinarily read, in the ectomo chat (EFNet, #ectomo or through a java module on the site). The article was a simple video, with the headline “Man electrocutes pickle to demonstrate power of Christianity“. Within the video, a friendly older gentleman wishes to [...]
Hot: As an Opera desktop edition user, I am part of a browsing minority. I started using Opera years ago, back when they still had banner ads to support their desktop offering. Some friends recommended it to me as a browsing alternative, if I recall correctly. I was getting sick of IE, and all the [...]
Hot: It all started when the #ormgas IRC bot piped up with the following: wormgas: Garlic icecream is a huge pupa in a special ops team to assasinate bin laden and his wife. It’s his thirtieth birthday! Next thing I know, over in #ectomo I’m being introduced to a bitchin’ Cibo Matto track from Jet [...]
Hot: mathiasx Ernest Hemingway does not cash in on internet memes. He creates them. You ever hear of mudkipz? Yeah, that was him. Via #ectomo on EFNet. (Come say hi!) ~Ectomo
Hot: Last night the most remarkable series of things happened, resulting in a delightful print out just for you! In #ormgas (the IRC channel for the OCR internet radio broadcast), Leissi pasted the following – Notice: This Department requires no physical fitness program: everyone gets enough exercise jumping to conclusions, flying off the handle, running [...]
Hot: I’ve seen the new (proposed) layout for Ectomo! It’s gorgeous! It’s terrifying! It’s truly a wonder to behold! And… I’m not gonna share. Nope, you’ll just have to wait. It should debut soon when Ectomo moves to better, more stable hosting. It’s their surprise and I’m not going to spoil it. (Man, I’d never [...]
Hot: Ripped straight from the delicious distraction pit known as the EctoChat. Giania I wish I had a bunch of acupuncture needles in my shoulder muscles that were, in turn, hooked up to some kind machine that would periodically deliver mild electric shocks 10:12 ch3sh that sounds fun. 10:15 Giania And hopefully pain relieving 10:19 [...]
Hot: Efilon pointed this out earlier in the ormgas IRC. Thanks! This looks absolutely awesome! In the underwater environment I see shades of Ecco the Dolphin (boy did that game used to creep me out), and character designs that seem to remind me of Odin Sphere. It’s been put together by a group called Bit [...]
