When you returned your stuff did you return it all? I mean box, all CDs, etc. I think one of the offers said I could keep 2 cds or something. I have no interest in keeping them but I don't want my return fucked.

I'm considering an online project, not sure about my intentions/motivations for it so I thought I'd solicit some opinions from the shack hive mind.

Where I live in Australia, there isn't a whole lot in the way of reliable, useful restaurant reviews - most of them just list the recent restaurants by their awards and feature the blurb lifted from the restaurant's own website. I'm a big food fan and even bigger critic, so I started to ruminate the possibility of starting a food critic site (a la actionroommate's DiningonDallas).

I definitely see this as just a personal interest taking form in something that could be useful to people, but ultimately I wouldn't mind making it a venture that in some way brings in a revenue or gets me into something new and interesting (food critic writing for local newspaper perhaps?).

How best to approach this? Do it as just a sideline hobby and hope it gets noticed, or go for the aggressive push (contract a web designer and use contacts)?

I'm sort of lucky in that I have a friend whose father is the head chef of one of the most respected restaurants here and he could definitely open doors for me in terms of getting to know the best chefs around etc. Also, since I'm a bit of a culinary snob, I've already eaten at four or five of the top places here and have a good start on the area. So I could have some contacts pretty quickly if it pans out...

Hey! Jade Empire for the PC is quite good! I never got an opportunity to play on the X-Box but it's great to play an RPG that doesn't have dwarfs/elves in it for a change.. it's a shame that the UI isn't quite up to scratch compared to the rest of the presentation and it isn't very open ended.. but it's still a thoroughly enjoyable play so far!

So I was in EB yesterday and saw that they had Chulip I picked it up and the game is hilarious so far. Basically you have to go around kissing people and gain 'heart' and popularity in order to be able to kiss the girl of your dreams. The first person I kissed was this bald fat man that I had to sneak up on while he hid in a garbage can.
It can be kinda hard to start off in, plus when I died and the game over screen came up this guy dressed as a phone pole came up to me and kicked me when I was down. Brutal.

Man, GRAW feels so clunky and unsatisfying after playing Vegas. Picked it up today for cheap, and i'll end up finishing it, but yeah I just dont feel the love for this game at the moment.

Movement and cover feels sloppy, ordering guys around feels like a chore (wtf no hold option?), shooting at stuff is boring (hey look a red diamond, shoot it)

On the plus side it has prettier graphics than Vegas.

hey you creative and thoughtful shack guys and gals.

a friend of mine is going back to school for the next 8 months to finish her vocational training. I'd like to give her a schultÃƒÂ¼te (according to my dictionary, that's the english word for it, alternatively a school cone, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schult%C3%BCte if it's not common where you live) but because of my financial situation a physical one is out of question (she's not even in my country). any idea how I could do this in a not-overly-tacky way in a digital format?
I was thinking maybe some useful freeware apps: a calendar, a scheduler, a fancy calculator, some relaxing stuff (virtual zen garden? fun brain teasers?), you know, things people can use for their education.
what do you think of that idea? where would I get stuff like that? any other ideas, entirely different or apps I've forgotten?

Star Trek as we know it is dead. IMO this is a good thing, how many episodes can you make where you rehash the same stories over and over again with very little substance. In order for trek to keep exploring ideas it needs to become much more grittier and realistic. I'm hoping this abrams reboot does this and makes startrek reflect the current times (DS9, voyager & enterprise were all just late 80s scifi shows copying TNG style).

Does anyone remember a TV show where there were these 3 teenagers who could like hook their instruments or something up to their computer, and when the one kid played a riff on his guitar or something, they'd get sent into the internet as these robot things?

Gotta brag a bit.

One of my most favorite bands, Agalloch, released a new album last year:
http://www.metal-archives.com/release.php?id=113100

Their record label released 500 copies of the album in a wooden box, each box included bird bones or a bag of ashes, along with the disc, and some post-card sized photos.
http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=12635432 (image links borken)

Now this album is released on vinyl, and 200 copies (the uber rare version) were orange discs with white splatter. I got one of those too. :D

http://tomservo.shackspace.com/AAtG/_MG_6078.jpg

Check them out here if you like:
http://www.agalloch.org (enter, and the player is there)
http://www.myspace.com/agalloch/ (one extra song, Wolves of the Timberline)

One more album and I'll have all three on vinyl. Just gotta suck it up and drop the 50 - 75 for it on eBay (limited to 500 copies, so yeah, erg).

So I just came back from a late screening of Zodiac and I really enjoyed it, I found it totally engrossing. Though what struck me most were the reactions of most of the people around me after it was over, overhearing some girl say "It wasn't even scary." Given the trailer I can't really blame her for expecting something else; it really played it up as some kind of edge-of-your-seat thriller where the power would go out and the characters would get picked off one by one with a machete. It felt like the scene with Graysmith in the basement getting all tense about someone else possibly being the house was made just so they could put it in the trailer. Though I guess in their defense it would be hard to build a good marketing campaign for a movie about a serial killer around bunch of talking heads. Though there are some very tense scenes, if you haven't seen it yet you should probably go into it thinking it'll be more akin to All the President's Men, except people get shot or stabbed once in a while, you'll probably like it.
