PSP Skin
Here’s the second of the gadget skins I bought, this time for my PSP 2.0. The skin from DecalGirl.com is called the PS9000. Obviously it’s a play on Hal 9000 from Arthur C. Clark’s Space Odyssey series. It also has a little twist of The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy in it, with the words…

Blues T.J. Oshie on NHL ’09 Portrayal
St. Louis Blues rookie center T.J. Oshie has drawn quite a bit of buzz locally since the start of the season. He’s been pretty solid in the first seven games, with one goal, two assists, seven hits, nine takeaways and two giveaways. There is one thing that he’s not happy with, though. His portrayal in…

LittleBigPlanet Delayed a Week
In an effort to RUIN my timely Sackboy papercraft post (obviously), LittleBigPlanet has been delayed worldwide by a week due to some language in a music track that some muslims deem offensive. Not the best news for Sony given how big a release LBP is for the Playstation 3, but I think people can survive an…

Papercraft Friday #11: Sackboy
Next week sees the release of Sony’s much anticipated LittleBIGPlanet, so to commemorate the occasion, this week’s papercraft will feature Sackboy! A few months back, developer Media Molecule released a blank white Sackboy that you could design to your own liking. That version was a little too basic for some, like Chamoo232, who made their…

iPod Skin
I bought some skins for some of my devices last week. I figured I’d show them off as I get them installed. First up, my iPod Classic. I got a skin from DecalGirl.com called Giant Blue. It wasn’t too difficuly to install, although the circles were a bit tricky. I was worried that the circle…

Lord British to old Ultima fans, or General British to the Tabula Rasa faithful) blasting off into space this week aboard a Russian Soyuz TMA spacecraft. The video shows the launch, with a shot of Richard holding up a sign with symbols…
