The recent release of the Windows 7 Release Candidate has gotten even Mac users to download it (for free) directly from the Microsoft website and try it out. You can run Windows 7 until at least June 2010. If you want to use it on a Mac, Google it and you should be able to find step by step instructions. Windows users, just download and install (back-up everything first, of course).
Browsing through the different themes and desktop images, I noticed a wallpaper that many Seattleites may appreciate. Click on the image to download the full image.
Konami Code Sites is a compilation of the websites that have the Konami Code embedded it in as a “easter egg” of sorts. And the cool thing is – you have to enter in the Konami Code to even access the website!
I really shouldn’t post this because this is something that only (cool) people who grew up playing Contra really know, but here’s the code:
Official White House photographer Pete Souza has been posting photos to The Official White House Photostream on Flickr. Pete Souza does a great job capturing candid shots of President Obama around the White House going through his everyday tasks. The photostream is updated frequently as displayed in the last photo posted with the President being briefed about the H1N1 flu (aka the swine flu).
The HDMI cable market is inundated with many brand name and no name cables ranging in price from $5 to $250 for 1 cable. Some claim to have better picture quality and audio, but let’s be real; digital is digital. When your cable is transmitting 1s and 0s to your TV, as long as the signal gets there, it’s there.
A test from Gizmodo shows that Monster cables, even when marked down, are never worth the price, even if they do offer a lifetime warranty.
It never pays to buy a Monster cable first. It doesn’t even make sense to buy the “marked down” $50 cable you can buy if you don’t want Monster. Go online, order your cables, and wait.
Get your cables from MonoPrice. These cheap, high quality HDMI cables (amongst anything dealing with your audio/video and electronic needs) are delivered quickly and perform just like cables that cost 3 to 5 times as much.
There’s been this buzz about a dude named Levi Maestro putting out new videos surrounding the newest stuff in streetwear, music, and just his life in LA. His stuff is hella fresh so make sure to keep up on it. I’ll just post the trailer for now so you can actually visit his site to get the real deal full videos. Make sure to check his website Maestro Knows.
[It seems that Vimeo has problems working with Internet Explorer. The problem is with either IE or Vimeo. If you can, please use Firefox or search for the video on YouTube.]
Have you ever wanted to invite your friends and family to an event but didn’t want to go through the process of sifting through your address book and setting up an Evite? You have to create another account with another password to remember and visit a site with a whole bunch of other stuff you may or may not use.
This is where Mobaganda steps in. Advertising itself as “Propaganda for your friends,” Mobaganda gives you the ability to create an event in just a few clicks without a login or registration. Definitely a fresh website to keep in mind next time you’re having a get together and want to keep track of who’s coming, and it even sounds like it could be a Tagalog word. Check out their website for more information. See also, “How is this any better than Evite?” on their Help page.
