More Stuff
Jam Sessions
I picked up a ds game today called Jam Sessions you'll have to try it when I get home, it's like guitar hero except without points and you select chords and it's an acoustic, so it's pretty much nothing like guitar hero but it's pretty cool.
Ben Fry, Data Artist
This guy creates images that map data in interesting ways.
His distellamap and dismap images are pretty cool, it's the assembly code for excitbike mario bros and some atari games laid out with the jumps in the code plotted out as lines on the map.

A little info and my first post
Ever since I can remember my twin brother has been sending me links to funny, stupid, disgusting and interesting things around the net. This blog is as simple as the title suggests, it is a blog about the stuff my brother sends me.
Each post will include his exact words (subject heading and body text) so you can feel as if he is sending it to you. However, you will have to excuse the spelling and the lack of interesting comments (although sometimes they may be funny) about the links because it is not my fault. Also, the blog will only update once I receive a link from my brother. Now its time to get you up to date. Here is some of the stuff I have received in that last couple of weeks. Enjoy!
That's Underground : Though you'd enjoy this.
Machine Girl : This movie trailer is awesome, I can only imagine what the movie will be like.
Passage : This game literally will only take five minutes.
