Worth Your Consideration #025

by E. Christopher Clark | Monday, December 7, 2009

Be a Mind Blower has collected the “Top 25 Mind Blowing Ideas” on how to control devices by blowing air at them. Now, we the people have a chance to vote and determine the Top 5, which may be integrated into Zyxio’s projects in the future. Ideas include everything from how to stop excessive spread of swine flu to how to create HarmonicaHero-type games.
Our friends at Film Pop! are running a workshop on “Indie Film Marketing On A Shoestring” in Nashua, New Hampshire on December 16, and they’re running it at our favorite Gate City venue Studio 99.
My favorite band of all time, Nine Inch Nails, is auctioning off their gear on eBay. Thanks to our friends at Moss Creek Media for reminding us to write about this.
Another Moss Creek reminder: Amanda Palmer’s Party on the Internet. I’m not sure how often it runs, but Amanda Palmer doing live Web video definitely seems like something kick-ass and worth our consideration.
Speaking of things that kick ass, be sure to check out this poster of McLovin as Red Mist in the new Kick-Ass film adaptation.
And then, when you’re done with that, why not give a listen to an iPhone orchestra. We’re all sick of Christmas tunes by now, right? So, why not broaden your horizons? Here’s another link, just in case you’re not convinced yet.
If you’re interested in broadening your toddler’s horizons, and you want to make sure they’re even more ahead of the curve than the rest of the kids at your daycare center, why not buy ‘em a Twoddler for Christmas? It’s a toy that allows babies to use Twitter. Now, doesn’t that sound like a wonderful idea?
Switching gears, here’s something for you video game mashup lovers out there: a sweet Half-Life 2/Contra mashup (embedded above, for your convenience).
And, if Contra’s just a wee bit too violent for you, what about Dragon’s Lair for the iPhone and iPod Touch? That sounds neat, right?
Also neat: Apple buys streaming music service Lala. What does this mean for iTunes? Is cloud storage of our tunes forthcoming?
And, speaking of things forthcoming, what about Clerks 3? Kevin Smith says it’s a possibility if he makes it to his late 40s.
Wrapping up, here’s a peek at the temple that’s been mentioned but never seen on Lost. Excited for season six yet? I know I am.
