Poor lil’ Not-Jessica Simpson. Now the whole world will know that the one thing her and her sis have in common is neither of them can sing. Maybe she should start rappin instead. She can call herself Lil’ Not-Jessica and do a duet with this guy.

In other hack music news, you need to vote or apparently JesusScott Stapp will ejaculate all over you [via Screenhead]

Unless of course you’re in Ohio, where theres a law being fast tracked by Republicans legislators to have Republican non-partisan volunteers manning voting booths to ensure people there are white Republicans eligible to vote.

Anyone have those atari joystick connect-to-tv things? Turns out they’re making one for my old friend the commodore 64 [via Lockergnome]. Commodore.net says it’ll be out in October. Here’s hoping. Otherwise i might have to take my motorcycle powered by chainsaws through spaces that can’t exist [via core77] in an anti-advertising shirt pressed on the worlds coolest ironing board.

That’s all for now, I’m off to deposit $100K I got out of some junk mail

Anyone who knows me know that I’m a bit of a computer nerd aficionado. I’ve been usin the damn things pretty much since I could walk (which should explain my posture).

For me, the golden age of video games was the mid 80s, before designers could rely on flashy graphics and actually had to think about things like gameplay and replay value. I used to have a Commodore 64 which had hundreds and hundreds of games.

This sentiment is shared apparently by people other than me, as remakes.org keeps track of people recreating and/or updating classic video games for our more wired times.

Some of my favorite games that have new versions include: Kung-Fu Master, Pitfall II, the classic Bruce Lee, Choplifter (for Mac), Phoenix (reborn as Space Birdz), The original (i.e. before they were Super) Mario Brothers, ultimate platform game Jumpman, and HERO clone HELD by the interestingly named Elite Pigs.

Stuff I’m still looking for: Staff of Karnath, Ultimate Wizard, Wizard of Wor, Pooyan. Holla back at a playa if you gots da hookzup.
