8-bit Trip

Neat video showing off characters from the 8-bit era. C64 and Nintendo fans will recognise some favourites!

1500 hours of moving legobricks and take photos of them.

Ever fancy your hand at building a C64 laptop? Here are some screenshots and ideas from someone who built a mini laptop from the parts of a C64 games joystick!

I have one of those joysticks.. I wonder if I can do the same, but I think I’ll stick with Vice, the C64 emulator for the moment. (via)

c64ize An Image!

Justin has coded a c64ize script which will convert an image in modern formats such as jpeg or gif into what an 8 bit Commodore 64 would display!
Ah yes, you had to be there…

Reading Material

Hannibal House
The story of a Seattle man who visits Wales, and decides to buy a house there. Great characters, and and a good read!

Protector
An odd and weird science fiction story by Larry Niven. Did not see that ending coming!

Batman: Knightfall
One of my favourite Batman stories, and the story the last Nolan film took inspiration from. Only bettered by the superb Batman: Son of the Demon.

The Golden Compass
First of a three part fantasy/sci-fi series. Some people hate it because of it's anti God message but it's a great read. I found it hard to put down. There's even a Snopes article about the film adaptation.
