[John Robb's Weblog] 6:47:05 PM  comment []  Trackback []     Gamers Struggle to Preserve Past. Thousands still long to play video game classics like Joust and Tempest. Unfortunately, the originals are becoming harder to find. Some are actually in danger of being lost forever. And the industry isn't willing to help preserve them. By Suneel Ratan. [Wired News] 5:55:11 PM  comment []  Trackback []     Combining Cameraphones and Blogs for the Presidential Election. "Mob Blog" to Cover Prez Election "The founders of two popular weblogs plan to launch a "smart mob-style site" that promises to redefine news coverage of the presidential campaign. Matt Haughey (Metafilter) and Rusty Foster (Kuro5hin) say the site will post phonecam pics, video clips, audio and transcripts gathered from a host of contributors attending campaign events across the country. The site will also feature an hour-by-hour weblog of campaign events and news stories. How cool is THAT?" [Lost Remote] [The Shifted Librarian] 5:51:07 PM  comment []  Trackback []     A Catalog of Independent Videos. BuyIndies.com "BuyIndies.com is a community to buy and sell movies on VHS, DVD, 16mm film, etc. BuyIndies.com offers buyers a wide selection of over 45,000 independent, educational and hard-to-find titles in a central location and sellers the opportunity to promote and sell their films to a national audience. BuyIndies.com, Inc. is a privately held corporation which was incorporated in 1999." [Thanks, Silus!] This site is interesting because it's like the EMusic.com of video. What's even more intriguing, though, is that they offer special logins for schools and libraries and a parallel site for educators: "BuyIndies.com has created a special mode for educational buyers (called "edu mode") to weed out all the consumer-only titles. This allows you to view only titles which are available for educational purchase which includes public performance rights. All searches and browses you do after turning the edu mode on will only call up educational titles. You can always click the "edu" at the top of the page to return here and turn it off." Definitely worth a look. [The Shifted Librarian] 5:50:07 PM  comment []  Trackback []     Flashback Friday - Aretha Franklin - Aretha Sings The Blues. Drinking music is in a class all of its own. We know it as the music that has helped us just to make it through a situation. It has soothed the pain of a broken heart or a failed romance. You put that record of your choice on and slide on down to bluesville with a side order of dark and dreary skies. [Blogcritics] 5:49:01 PM  comment []  Trackback []     What I want to know is when they're going to show up in my small city... Food Shopping in the Fastest Lane. The founder of FreshDirect, the hot online grocery, believes he has found a way to satisfy a city's passion for good food minus the drudgery of actually shopping for it. By Jennifer Steinhauer. [New York Times: Technology] 5:42:45 PM  comment []  Trackback []     The triumph of fringe science. Global warming naysayers argue that we don't need to do anything to stop rising temperatures. Mainstream scientists used to be able to ignore them, but now they make White House policy. [Salon.com] 5:37:28 PM  comment []  Trackback []
