Head Tracking for Desktop VR Displays using the WiiRemote (YouTube)
This is so completely amazing. This guy cobbled together a VR suite out of a Wii.
Think HD-DVD Caught Up? Think Again. (Aeropause)
Could Sony actually win a format war? So far, yes.
Activision seeks money for controller compatibility. (Games Industry.biz)
Feel free to enjoy the ongoing sniping between Activision/Guitar Hero and Harmonix/Rock Band, but it's the article subtitle that I really care about: "Stand-alone Rock Band guitars available in January." HURRY.
"Futurama," "Doomsday" Blaze New Markets for Old Series (Toon Zone)
I'm very excited to hear that the Superman: Doomsday DVD did well, and that anticipation is high for New Frontier. What other DC tales could get the animated treatment: Kingdom Come? Identity Crisis? Dark Knight Returns? Killing Joke? Sinestro Corps? Zoo Crew?
Cinematic Titanic DVD is available for sale (Cinematic Titanic)
The original MST3K group (Joel, Trace, Josh) plus second-gen additions Frank and Mary Jo have launched their MST for the new millennium, Cinematic Titanic. Although I kinda blanched at the price: $16 for one DVD. Get this in iTunes for $8 and I'll bite.
Isn't it weird that this group started a new MST3K, and the Mike/Kevin/Bill faction has been doing their own MST3K projects for a bit now... there has got to be some kind of ugly feud behind the scenes.

A brief pictorial on the Mr. Toad rides throughout the Disney parks. Toadi Acceleratio, Semper Absurda.
Where's the Council of Nicea when you need them? (Absorbascon)
Brilliant comparison of the evolution of the Bible and the flow of DC Comics continuity.
101 Dumbest Moments in Business - the Aqua Teen thing (Fortune)
What Fortune doesn't remember is that Cartoon Network had those Lite Brites on display in nine other cities, and had been up for weeks in Boston, without exploding, before some idiot freaked. Boston itself should have gotten the Dumbest Moment nod here, not Cartoon Network. Way to make sure you continue to look old and out-of-touch, Fortune!
