The Linkdown for Friday, Sept. 11
The Linkdown is trying to stay dry as the Austin Summer of Dry Heat suddenly becomes the Austin Late Summer of Torrential Flooding. It’s feast or famine around here, isn’t it?
Here are some Internet links worth not only a click, but also a read and a rumination:
- Austin’s second Twestival is 5 p.m. Sunday at Buffalo Billiards. The first Twestival raised money for Charity: Water. This one will benefit Mobile Loaves & Fishes. It’s a family-friendly event.
- Courtney Love and surviving members of Nirvana are not thrilled that a computer-animated Kurt Cobain is singing Bon Jovi and hip hop songs in the latest “Guitar Hero” game. What’s the fuss about? See video at the end of this entry.
- The Austin Game Developers Conference is next week!
- Whoah, Blu-ray media server! Me WANT!
- Austin’s Heatwave Interactive worked with superstar T.I. on the game “Platinum Life.”
- Do you know anything about real-time search data visualization? You could win $1,500 from OneRiot.
- Chris Brogan will be speaking in town again next week to talk about his book, “Trust Agents” with Julien Smith.
- Austin’s BAE Systems is making all-weather vehicles for the Army and Marines.
- Lawyer much? You can get a 7-day free trial of LSAT prep courses from Knewton. Who would object to that?
- Another apps review site. This one’s got some pretty good content. It’s called Appolicious
- Yahoo! has launched iPhone and BlackBerry apps for Finance, Fantasy Football and an iPhone-only app for Flickr.

I just thought it was awesome that the Kurt character was wearing a "Hi, How are you?" shirt. :D
