WiiSaber Makes your WiiMote into a Lightsaber

So Evan just got a Wii with accompanying Wiimote. We were wondering if the Bluetooth capabilities of the Wiimote would work with the Mac... well guess what...

Just grab your WiiMote, turn on your Mac's bluetooth, and run WiiSaber to link the two for a motion-sensor based Lightsaber sound effect battle royale.

I made some Dell PowerEdge Stencils for OmniGraffle 3 Standard today.

Dell has some good visio diagrams for their hardware, but unfortunately (and it's not surprising, but) they have none for OmniGraffle. Since I like to make my diagrams somewhat relevant I decided to go ahead and create some for the PowerEdge series. Based on clip-art I scavenged off of the 'net.

These are in no way endorsed by Dell. They aren't even endorsed by me, I mean look at how wacked out that 2650 is. But it's better than using the default boxes, and now I have a keener idea of what I'm looking at when I draw some of my diagram monstrosities.

Defcon for the Mac? Don't keep me hangin' baby!

Ah sweet dudes! Ambrosia is going to be publishing the Mac port of Defcon; the amazingly simple, eerie, and addictive strategy game of thermonuclear warfare.



I've had several chances to play the demo on a PC, and it's pretty amazing. If you have a vector graphics fetish, this will fulfill your every need.

In an odd way I see this game as a sideways prequel to Fallout.

This will also go great with my Expert Mouse;

Evil Blog Consolidation Goodness...

So I am in the process of consolidating the following blogs into one;

http://www.fileix.com/blog/
http://www.brikz.com/blog/

Into

http://www.devlab.ca/blog/

Purpose; while I could continue to post to three different blogs, why not just post to one since they're all in a shambles anyway :) At least this will make my posts a bit more consistent.

Thanks to PHPMyAdmin and some manual entry tweaking, I was able to pull this off without too much pain and torment.
