Tape Findings

http://www.sweetthunder.org/tapes/

From the site:
"This site is an archive of one of a kind cassette tape recordings and other odd sounds that I have discovered throughout my years searching thrift stores and garage sales. I hope you find them as fascinating as I do. Enjoy!"

Some really interesting finds here. So far my favorite is Lauren's Radio Show. Absolutely adorable. Have you ever heard of a Tamagotchi? Lauren will be glad to tell you about them.

Aww man

Concerning the Regret Index:

I think I have to agree with Ryan North that this is about the most depressing regret ever.

Narbacular Drop

You may have heard of the game coming out soon called Portal, which uses the Half Life Source engine to make a 1st-person puzzle game using portals that you can place anywhere, with one leading to the other. It sounds very exciting, but you don't have to wait for its release to get a glimpse of what it's like. Narbacular Drop is, essentially, the original. It was developed by students at DigiPen, and once the guys at Valve saw it, they immediately hired the students to develop Portal. It's the same idea, two portals, one leading to the other, but it's free. Even after I'm done with the puzzles (there are additional puzzles available from the site anyway), it's just fun to screw around with the portals. You can set them up so you can see yourself through the portals, or have one on the ceiling and another on the floor for infinite freefall! I highly suggest you give it a try.

Stop yer Bitchin

So Facebook has implimented a new "mini-feed," which essentially tells you everything that all of your friends do on Facebook. So far it's been met with widespread disapproval, with people saying it's creepy and stalker-ish. I personally don't mind it. Maybe it's because I know I'm not in much danger of being stalked. But in any case, stalkers will be stalkers no matter what you give them. If you don't want them following your every move, don't update your status every time you're clipping your toenails. It doesn't give them any new information, it just makes it easier to see an overview of what everyone is up to, which I find convenient. So stop your whining, and get used to it. It's actually kinda useful.

(You know, it probably doesn't help my case that my Facebook status directly prior to the release of the mini-feed was "probably stalking you right now.")
