Do you remember Marble Madness the classic game from the 80’s? I would play it for hours at my friends Pablo’s house in his Amiga 64… Anyway, the object of Ballance is the same; get a marble from point A to point B while avoiding obstacles and falling. The graphics are superb, hell, even the music is good. Download the demo at the website and keep on rolling!

Learning a new song chord structure on a guitar is usually a hassle, it involves going back and forth between sheet music and the chord books. ChordGuide has a cool interface where you build lists of your guitar chords to print or save. Nice…

Silencio!

Part of the allure of a David Lynch film is trying to figure out what he is trying to tell us. I’ve seen Mulholland Dr. twice and both times have had hours of conversation with my wife… Now we can get a better understanding of what is going on: Lost on Mulholland Dr. is an in-depth study on this most fabulous film complete with a timeline!

The Project Apollo has an excellent photo gallery of the day man first set foot on the moon…

The gallery includes that mission’s film magazine “S” in its entirety, representing all photographs taken during the historic first moonwalk on July 20, 1969. Images identified with the prefix AS11-40 are now seen for the first time in their clearest and most accurate presentation to date, and are a result of recent work by Johnson Space Center to digitally scan original Apollo film. The process involves removing each original film roll from a double-freezer, allowing it to thaw, then digitally scanning each frame using an Oxberry adapted HR-500 long roll film scanner. The Apollo magazine “S” raw digital scans were supplied on DVD-R to the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal and Project Apollo Archive, for which Kipp Teague processed the images for web presentation. It is with pleasure that Eric Jones and Kipp present to you the EVA photographs of Apollo 11 as never seen before, and coinciding with the 35th anniversary of man’s first voyage to the surface of the Moon.

What a trip!
