Another Guitar Hero Knock-off: JamLegend

August 28th, 2008

Not only is JamLegend a Guitar Hero knock off, but it directly robs the upside-down keyboard sans-guitar interface of Frets on Fire. At least there’s no software to download and its free to play, if the site wasn’t down.

If you use the code “TechCrunch” you can play the game now, otherwise, you’ll have to wait until it comes out of beta.

Fortune Cookies Foreign in China

August 27th, 2008

Apparently, the fortune cookie was invented by Americans and most Chinese people have no clue what they are. I wonder if they know what duck sauce is? I would dip everything in that shit if I had enough of it.

mmmmm More Bacon

August 26th, 2008

I know I link to a lot of bacon related material but this one was just too good to pass up: An entire site dedicated to linking to bacon related material!

Geek foot note: the site is built using the Reddit’s new sub-reddit and domain features. Basically anyone can create a Reddit-like site around any topic, point a domain name to it and brand it however you like.

I mentioned the Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleaders in a post about their environmental initiatives, now it’s time to commend them on their hot chick gathering initiatives.

Top 10 Hottest Female Olympians

August 21st, 2008

SportsCrunch just released their list of the 50 Hottest Female Olympians Of The 2008 Summer Olympics. There are some seriously fine women in the list and some seriously manish women as well, but well worth the look. Here are the top 10:

I’ve got to be honest, I’m too lazy to reorder this whole list, but Leryn Franco (pictured, top) and Logan Tom (pictured, bottom) would be much higher… they have some serious talent!

Expand Your Playlist, Volume 2

August 21st, 2008

1. I’m sure everyone’s heard of Coldplay by now, but the radio often ignores the best stuff on popular albums. Check out “Lost” for a seriously good time.

2. “Modern Guilt” from Beck’s latest album of the same name is a throw back to everything that made Beck wonderful.

3. Sigur Ros may be an acquired taste, but their latest single “Gobbledigook” is damn pleasant to listen to.

Olympic Cheerleaders

August 20th, 2008

I’ve been watching a lot of the Olympics this year, more than I care to admit and I can’t tell you how frustrated I’ve been with NBC’s complete lack of interest in the Olympic Cheerleaders. In case you’ve missed them, pay attention as NBC goes to commercial, as they’re typically running onto the court/field/whatever as the Olympic theme song rolls in (seriously, I love that tune, but do they need to play it EVERY time the cut to commercial and back?).

At any rate, the first time I saw them I was like, “WTF, the Olympics has cheerleaders?!” and bam, NBC cut to commercial before I could take in their splendor. Well, have no fear, Livemanly.com has you covered. Check out these galleries of Olympic cheerleaders in Beijing:

- Maxim Olympic Cheerleaders
- Sports Illustrated Olympic Cheerleaders
- MSN’s Bikini Babes in China

Check back here for updates as I find more of these…

Virtual NES

August 19th, 2008

If you grew up in the late 1980’s then you probably had a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and like all of us you probably spent more time blowing in the cartridges trying to get them to work than actually playing the game.

Virtual NES solves this problem and lets you play hundreds of classic NES games for free. Once again, the legality of the site is questionable, so jump into Tecmo Super Bowl, Baseball Stars and Super Mario 3 while you still can.

Mygazines.com: Read magazines online for free

August 19th, 2008

Not sure how legal (or viable) this business model is so it probably won’t last long, but Mygazines.com allows users to read and share print magazines online for free. All the titles you’d expect to be there like Maxim and Esquire are available in addition to more obscure titles like Cigar Aficionado and The Robb Report Collection.

Even more surprising is that you can view the “behind the counter” titles like Club and Cherri (but you need to register first (smart)). Like Napster and Kozmo, I’d get in there and use this service as soon as possible, because it likely won’t be here tomorrow.

2008 NFL Cheerleader Review: Miami Dolphins

August 18th, 2008

Another leader in my 2005 review were the Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders. As you can see below, their 2008 squad does not disappoint.
