The Perils of Twitter

Twitter really is just a mechanism for stalking (and for chasing up information on totally awesome coffee machine technology). This pretty much sums it up.

Pac Mini

Pacman gear doesn’t get much classier than a painted Mini Cooper.

YouTube Tuesday: Lego of the past

Ahh Lego and Super Mario Bros, and Lego and Pacman… Gold.

Pacman arrives about a minute in to this one…

Blocktastic

I’ve written about Pacman, I’ve written about Rubiks Cubes, I’ve written about Super Mario Bros, and I’ve written about art. That’s a lot of topics to converge in a single post. But I’ve done it. Well, more correctly, somebody else has – I’m just here to show you the fruits of their labour. Art made from Rubiks Cubes… not just art… geek art. I would have thought a Tetris inspired design would be appropriate – but perhaps too easy…

Too Pac?

I’m of the firm belief that you can never have too much Pacman stuff (though I personally own none). So were I to start a collection I’d definitely copy this guy and paint my own Pacman coffee table.

Geek hazards

Every now and then I do something geeky and pull a component out of my computer to replace it with a newer, better component. This is standard geek practice. But I’m an unco. So it always ends in tears. Or at least cuts and scratches. Computer parts are unbelievably sharp.

Luckily I now have an appropriately geeky bandaid solution.

Pac-ing on the calories

So you’ve always wanted your own Pacman action figure – only to realise that an action figure based on three quarters of a 2D circle isn’t really all the much fun. But lollies are always fun especially Pacman lollies. Especially these Pacman lollies.

Holiday Pac-ing

Think Pacman is the pinnacle of 80s design? So do Disney. Apparently. They’ve just “retro”-fitted an 80s themed resort with a Pacman exterior.

Pacced to the rafters

In that last post I pondered how much Pacman is to much… I put it to you that painting a Pacman mural on your feature wall is possibly “too much”…

Materialistic Pacman

Just how much Pacman decor is too much? I’m not sure that’s a question that can be answered, but if you’re trying to find the point of over saturation by acquiring all the material you can lay your hands on – here’s a quilt cover, complete with movable pieces.

Youtube Tuesday: Pacman in real life

French prankster Remi Gallard has won a couple of nathanintownsville guernseys* in the past for his outrageous stunts. Today he wins a feature for his real life Pacman efforts – the funniest I’ve seen so far (real life Pacmans that is). Especially when he eats someone’s golf ball for a power-up. There’s a subtitled language warning hear (and possibly a spoken one too – I didn’t have the sound on)… but it’s funny. And thematically appropriate…

Mmm, bacn

Some clever little cookie decided that “spam” was a label too ubiquitous to be applied to all junk email, and so bacn was born. It’s like bacon and is a lunchmeat enthused pun. Of sorts. It’s a catchall label used to describe solicited advertisements, newsletters and well targetted email campaigns.

Microsoft this week announced that something like 97% of all email traffic is spam. They don’t make the bacn distinction as far as I’m aware. But I do. So I’m choosing to allow spam comments that fit into the bacn category – like two shirt sites that commented on my last post about SnorgTees – that’s nice. It shows initiative. And NerdyShirts even offered a 10% discount.

You could buy this topical masterpiece

Or an Eastery theme – this one’s called “The Last Supper“…

Rizzo Tees offered no discount – but proferred a link to their site claiming Snorg was an “inspiration”… here are some of their shirts. Starting with one particularly on topic…

Spam

Blogburner:

I can relate. I lost 20 subscribers yesterday. Gone. Who knows where… not that I’m checking.

And a ninja shirt….

And one about coffee for good measure (provided you get the size right…boom boom…)

See… not only will a well placed and relevant spam comment get noticed – it’ll earn you a post in these parts.

Pac to the rafters

Ahh Pacman, where would I be without you… about four posts down per day I reckon.

Pacman’s gravitational structure has always puzzled me. It has some bearing on his actual shape – are we getting a topographical view – or a view from the side? Who knows? Well, someone. And now you can explore Pacman with gravity as a factor thanks to the marvels of modern programming technology…
