60 Frames Per Second Episode 5

From the 60 FPS Blog. Go there for more info and feeds.

It is out and on the net! Can I get a w00t! This episode is extra special for two reasons, one, its shorter than 30 minutes (which isn't technically good, but hey), and I got to say 1337! Anyway, I am trying to put aside the fact I got delayed from a bunch of bunnies, but I think you guys will be OK with it (not like I'm usually early!) I can go ahead and tell you that next weeks cast will either be a Monday or Tuesday release, since I will be gone for the weekend. So, stay tuned to the sites, and listen to this for some cool info. Not the next episode, but number 7, I might have some intro music playing for ya'll. Maybe it will be good if I can do it well enough with my very few editing skills (highlight, delete, record, etc. very basic for this podcast) Well, download now, read later, then check the shownotes for the stuff you want more of.

Cool Google Facts!

We all love or Google for it's very plain style. A logo, search box, buttons, a link or two, and that's it. Want to know why it looks so plain. Google's founders didn't know HTML! Even I know a lot of basic HTML, not to where I could make a full site just using it, but can make a crappy slightly better than Google one. This and a lot of other cool facts, like Google using to 20/5 % rules, can be found here, where it lists details from an interview with Marissa Mayer. Since Google pretty much takes up a lot of my posts, I might as well fir this in. Also, while we are sticking to Google, they might get in a lawsuit against Chinese site Gmail.cn`. Apparently Gmail looks like it (just see for yourself) but if Google is half as rich as their stocks tell, then they will win.

Windows Vista got the need for speed?

One of the many complaints of Windows users, or any computer users, is that loading an Operating System takes time. It might take a minute or two for Windows to start up, and then another minute to load your start-ups. (Windows tip of the day: Disable most of your start-ups. Open them when you need to. Saves time.) Well, Microsoft has said that Vista's load time will be maybe 2 or 3...seconds!!! They want it to be on and off, like a TV. If they accomplish this, and you don't have to have 2 gigs of RAM, then this is going to be cool. I am the worst about leaving the room after starting up my computer. I to sit and watch the BIOS load and then Windows load, then have to log onto my username. If I can do this all under 30 seconds I will be happy. This is a bold statement by Microsoft, but if they nail it, this OS might be worth something. For more info on Vista, and the quick on and off feature, check out this site.

The Cult of Red Vs. Blue

If you go to this blog a lot, you know I love Red Vs. Blue from Rooster Teether Productions. Toms Hardware has posted an article called “The Cult of Red Vs. Blue”. I was thinking like a Napoleon Dynamite type cult thing, where he would probably make fun of us blue spider loving people. But it was about how they started and their plans. It was pretty interesting, but if you have listened to the commentaries on any of them more than once, you know most of this stuff. Either way, its a fun read on Tom's Hardware, and it isn't a fully technical article like most on his site are! Here is the link to the article.

P.S. I just checked the Red Vs. Blue site to have a link for this post, and episode 62 has been released. I think Season 4 is the funniest so far, so check the new episode out here.
