How many of these do you know? I think I recognize about 90% (and I’m looking up the ones I haven’t heard of).

Advanced Photo Resizing
This video has been making the rounds the past couple weeks. It is a demonstration of dynamic image resizing. Normally when resizing an image, you will get artifacts with making it either larger or smaller. This demo shows a method of making an image resizable by stretching the unimportant parts of an image and keeping… Read more »
Soundwave: The Touch
Poor Soundwave… nobody needs a Transformer that changes into a cassette player. P.S. The Transformers movie was awesome!
Find Your Best Movie Reviewer
I think movie reviewers are hit or miss, and there isn’t really one out there that I follow religiously. I have somewhat unique taste in movies. Enter “Which Move Reviews Should I Believe?” Rate a handful of movies on this site, and a few movie reviewers will be recommended to you. My movie tastes line… Read more »
PlayMyGame
Have you ever wanted to box me? Well, the wait is over, step right up to my PlayMyGame boxing match, where you can (virtually) beat the crap out of me. I even used a smug-looking face that you want to punch! PlayMyGame.com gives you the ability to build a game of your very own. There… Read more »
The Hype Machine
I’m not a huge fan of traditional radio. I don’t listen to it very often (usually listen to podcasts in the car). I guess I just don’t like the hear the same 20 songs played over and over again. With that being said, I still do want to find sources for new music. In searching… Read more »
Broadcast Your Skills with Sclipo
As their tagline suggests, Sclipo is a site where good folks can upload videos of their mad skillz. I like this site because it isn’t just a collection of youtube-like random videos. It has the specific focus of demonstrating skills. There are some tutorial videos on here, and there are some pretty impressive “look what… Read more »
Package Mapping
I’m waiting on a couple packages to arrive (one from DHL, and one from UPS) and I like to follow their progress on the tracking sites. OK, I check it about every other hour. I ran across a pretty cool site that maps (via Google maps) progress of a package as it travels across the… Read more »

You Don’t Know Jack
Jack is back! The crazy pop-culture game You Don’t Know Jack is online again. These were originally CD-ROM party games back in the day. I can even remember playing an early Netshow version of these games in the mid 90’s, back before the dot.com boom (it took quite a while for them to load on… Read more »
May the Force be…
…on your next postage stamp. The good ole USPS will be issuing Star Wars postage stamps in late May. Nobody likes that postage rates are going up (except for the USPS – duh!), but at least this will make the price hike easier on the eyes even if it’s not as easy on the wallet…. Read more »
SXSW Notes
We’ve set up a notes blog where we’ve been collecting all of our notes from South by Southwest Interactive Conference. http://sxsw.techory.com Most of these posts are just disjointed note-taking from our sessions, but they’re probably more valuable online than in some notebook stuck away on a shelf somewhere.
Off to SXSW Interactive
Tomorrow I’m jumping on a plane to Austin, TX for South by Southwest Interactive Festival for work. I’ve wanted to attend this conference for several years, and I’m really excited to finally be able to make it. I don’t have any clue what panels I’m going to attend yet, but I’m sure there will be… Read more »

Do you ever just think to yourself, “Man, I wish there were some site out them there Internets that I could see a collection of weird ebay auctions and videos recently removed from YouTube!” Your wish has come true! King Nutter is just that site. They have a random hodgepodge of crazy ebay stuff, and… Read more »
Copyright – Orphan Works Reform
I’ve been a fan of Lawrance Lessig for a while. He is a Professor of Law at Stanford Law School and founder of the school’s Center for Internet and Society. He is a large proponent of Copyright regulation, and was one of the founding members of the Creative Commons license. He has recently put together… Read more »
