sometimes you run across a lot of cool links, and sometimes you spend an entire week without seeing anything interesting. well the last couple of days i’ve come across a bunch of cool things (altho it seems like all i blog about is fast food, obesity and ddr nowadays instead of hockey, music and other garbage). anyways, the trouble with getting too many links is that no one will click thru them, but anyways:
i’m sure most of you have heard how gaming is really big in korea. it’s not something that we in north america can readily imagine, so that’s why we rely on articles that profile south korean game-thletes. it’s pretty amazing stuff, and the parallel between superstar gamers and superstar athletes isn’t far off. Lim, the guy they profile trains for 10 hours a day, has sponsors, and is not allowed to have a gf. i think the coolest stat is the in some games, he does over 6 actions a second! how many times can you click the mouse without moving in a second? now that’s an athlete.
slate’s mentioning how the tide has shifted and the public is adopting widescreen movies. i can say i was always on the widescreen bandwagon, why? because it looks more like a movie theatre! i remember in high school, my friend tried to make me feel real stupid for liking widescreen (you’re wasting 1/2 of the screen dumbass) well TOO BAD I WIN!! but anyways, widescreen really is better, if you don’t believe me, this article will explain it.
cereality, a cafe where you can have cereal. i’m guessing this is a pure yuppie cafe.
also, some american idol season 3 links:
i know i know, that last link is a nytimes link which i said i would never link too (registration, no access to archives) but hey it’s by sarah hepola who’s one of my favorite online writers so there.
