The Linkdown for Wednesday, Jan. 7
It’s been so long since I’ve shared a tasty, savory set of Internet links with you (almost three weeks, to be exact), that I almost forgot how to do it. I bounced around the Internet like a wayward pinball machine mercury sphere, forgetting to copy and paste, neglecting to fill you in on the cornucopia of linkyness that is yours for the taking, should I only post it here.
I call it vacation.
So let’s fix that, shall we?
- Old-school gamers are mourning the passing of Electronic Gaming Monthly, the print publication that shared many a cheat code and thousands of reviews. Ziff-Davis is also shutting down the popular 1Up podcasts (my favorite was the “GFW/LAN Party Weekend” podcast), which is a tragedy in and of itself.
- Do you lose your remote all the time? Are your couch creases THAT deep? AT&T has an Easy Find Remote for $60. It’s cheaper than hiring a full time remote control guard dog.
- Glassdoor.com uses reader reviews to rate the naughty and nice CEOs of ‘08. They also list General Mills as the top place to work.
- A virtual worlds lawsuit involving Austin’s NC Soft. Also, a Penny Arcade comic commenting on the matter. (Warning: the comic contains an F-bomb.)
- Yes, there is such a thing as a group called Wii Fit Mommies.
- Crazy-cute Japanese gadgets? Find them at Gizmine.com.
- Make Magazine, which has a strong presence in Austin and brings us the awesome Maker Faire, has an online TV show.
- Wanna see a Webcast of the Emmy Technology and Engineering Awards? Of course you do! You’re geeky like that. See it streamed tonight here.
- This week’s All Tech Considered segment on NPR was about TV on the Web. You can hear all the recent audio segments here.
- Film site spout.com is introducing tools to promote and distribute films online. Find out more here.
