Virtual Underworld - Another One Bites the Dust: Virtual MTV closes - The current Virtual MTV as we know it - a slimmed down There clone - will soon close down, but “We’re excited to let you know that you can now check out a new and improved version of Virtual MTV at virtual.mtv.com! This new ALPHA version is browser-based and allows you to create an avatar, get your own crib, explore virtual worlds and play games.” Confusing.

Google Earth Blog: Ultra High Resolution Paintings in Google Earth - Although this won’t give you the feeling of actually walking around in the Prado, and there are no avatars, thus fellow visitors, you do get a high resolution quality for the paintings, something that’s impossible using a 1024×1024 texture (of course, we could use multiple 1024×1024 textures/painting?) Still, not taking the Prado of my “have to see this in reality” to do list yet. ;)

Silly Music Mode at start of 2009 on Flickr - Photo Sharing! - No I can’t - really - play this thing. My aunt is learning though, so I figured I’d give it a try. People did not run out of the room screaming “help! help! my ears!”so I guess it was Ok’ish. (And I can still read sheet music. :d) As I play the sax, where two hands make one note, and this thing is one hand for notes and one for err… what’s the other in English? And it makes a different sound on pull than on push, it’s pretty complicated and far from as easy as it seems. :d
