The iPod Zepto

Okay, so this is old, but I just found out about it. Check out McSweeney’s fabulously funny take on a fictional iPod Zepto. Here’s a sample from the “Troubleshooting” heading:

Q: The iPod Zepto box was empty.
A: It’s not empty. Look closely at the period-sized dot in the middle of the box. Now, find the red rectangular square in the center of the dot. This is the outer packaging of your iPod Zepto. In a sterile, wind-free environment, carefully open the outer packaging and remove the clear-plastic inner wrapping. Finally, using the enclosed high-magnification lens, unwrap the plastic and look for a white case. Inside the white case is your iPod Zepto.

I love me some McSweeney’s.

Tontie

Most addictive game ever. Next to World of Warcraft anyway (which I’ve inexplicably stopped playing for 2-3 weeks. Why? Because attempting to get into Barrens as a solo Level 30 Alliance mage sucks, and nobody ever wants to get into a group with me. Feh.)

It’s called Tontie, and the rules are fairly self-explanatory. You really need a desktop-style keyboard because a number keypad is crucial for proper gameplay. I’ve only managed to get to Level 10 before dying because of the damn bomb creature (You’ll know what I’m talking about once you get there).

This game is such a time-suck, it’s ridiculous.

My Zinester Video


(Warning: Above link goes to a movie file)

Check it out: My Video Badge/Zinester video is now online! It’s this thing we did as part of Webzine 2005, where bloggers are invited to pimp their sites, talk about Webzine, etc. So I decided to do it too, just for kicks. I think I was the last Zinester video they took, ’cause my bit is the very last one in the video clip — If you want to check me out, just head to the very last few minutes on the video.

I like it that I ended the whole thing with “It’s so bizarre.” Nice touch.

UPDATE: Watching this over again, I can’t help but want to start a video blog or something. I don’t have a video camera though, so I don’t know if it’s feasible. Must try to figure this whole thing out.
