I’m Green Lantern
Ok, since everybody else is doing it… I’m Green Lantern, described on Wikipedia as having… …a “power ring” that gives the user great control over the physical world as long as the wielder has sufficient willpower. Great. So for 2007 I decide that you all start behaving. Ok? No more hitting each other in the [...]

What are your reasons for playing games? And what reasons are there for media to cover caming? Use the comments [...]
Halo 3 – more like Halo 1
Joystiq reports that Halo 3 will feel more like Halo 1: At this stage in development, the encounters are very carefully placed. Sometimes that means you’re in frantic firefights (on a significantly bigger scale than in Halo 2, although all I will confirm numerically is at least one more Grunt.) but there’s also time for [...]
GTA and Coca-Cola
Great new ad from Coca-Cola. Truly a brilliant idea. Turn something completely around. When will we see the next ad doing this? Doom monsters sharing Mentos? Hitman dancing in the park with his iPod nano?
Training data format
You don’t need to read brilliantdays.com to find out that Apple and Nike launched a new line of products together – the Nike+iPod. As Kevin Lim writes on his site: “…was literally quite blown away.” This is the revolution I think this is the start of a revolution in the way people measure what their [...]

Steve Jobs in Lego
Dunechaser does it again. This time he has made a set of co-called minifigs with “Geek Luminaries”. The above is of course Steve Jobs with a first generation iPod (BTW, this demonstrates the beauty of the iPod design: What other gadget could be immediately recognized as itself with just one simple piece of Lego…?) See [...]

Lego revolutionaries
Andrew Becraft makes amazing Lego figures, so-called “minifigs”. Check out his new series on Flickr, the Lego revolutionaries (or communists). From the left, Mao Zedong, Kim Jong Il, Marx & Engels and Stalin.
720 sharks
Remember the Xbox 720 post? There still are lots of things the Xbox 360 can’t do. Maybe the PS3? These AMAZING sharks look like they’re real. I don’t think you’ll see them coming from a white box under your TV just yet… (do watch it all the way to the end!)
Pac-Man and ?
Boingboing tells about a guy who has tattooed Pac-Man on his butt. What’s on the flip side then? Centipede?
Solving Rubik’s cube (and clock)
How about solving Rubik’s cube in 11.13 seconds? Leyan Lo did. And that’s a new world record. He has a page, and pdf document showing how to solve the cube. I’m not sure if I have the energy to push down my personal best of 28 something seconds, but it’s still fun to push the [...]
