And I thought that I had really good HTML skills. This guy basically makes pictures using pure HTML code in the form of tables.
Some people really have too much time on their hands. But that is really nothing new either. Still quite amazing at one can do with a little bit of patience and some basic HTML skills. And of course creativity. Though I suppose that could be computer generated as well.
It would seem that I have been playing a lot of RPGs on the weekends lately, and this weekend is no exception. Last weekend I finished Jade Empire, and I have decided to play Fable this weekend, and maybe even finish it. Though I doubt that that will happen, since I haven’t had that much time to play it today.
From what I have played so far I really like it. Some really cool character customization options as well, and the story seems to be quite good so far as well. Granted it’s yet another xbox port to PC, so the controls and gameplay is quite simplistic, it’s still quite a lot of fun. A proper review, as always will come once I have finished the game.
After breaking my Avixe i-Rock Cube (no idea how, or why, but it just stopped working) I was on the lookout for a new MP3 player. What I wanted was basically, a small player, with built in memory, and a built in rechargeable battery. Screen was really an optional thing.
My first thought of course was the Apple Shuffle, but just for the hell of it, I decided to have a look at Creative’s site if they had anything like the Shuffle. Surely enough they did, and not just something like the Shuffle, but something better than the Shuffle.
The biggest selling point of the Zen Stone is its price, I bought mine from Amazon for 33 EUR, which is about half the price of an Apple Shuffle. Other than that, the two players are pretty much identical. Both of them look really nice, though personally I really like the black (very shiny and sexy) Zen Stone more.
The player has just 1GB capacity, which is about enough to hold 12 to 14 albums. I find that more than enough if you have access to a PC/Mac on a regular basis, and can just swap out the music. Speaking of putting music on the player, it is really simple, just connect it to your PC/Mac with the USB cable and you can add/delete songs from it just like from a normal USB stick, no additional software needed.
The only thing where the Shuffle is nicer is the little clip that it has that lets you attach the Shuffle to your clothing. Sadly the Zen Stone doesn’t have that, but I haven’t had the need for it yet anyway, as it fits in perfectly in a beltloop.
For its price, the Zen Stone is really a brilliant piece of gadget, one couldn’t really want for more if one wants a small MP3 player which you can take with you wherever you go. Not to mention the fact that if something happens to it, you won’t be as sad as if it were a 300+ EUR MP3 player.
