Playstation Store Revamped

Jump7Miles — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 18:02:01 +0000

The PS3 has constantly been getting firmware updates that have enhanced and added many nice features for it. With the upcoming 2.30 firmware, one of the new features is a revamped Playstation Store. I hated the old store, which was basically ran on top of the PS3 browser. It was slow and a pain to navigate through. Looks like the new store, which is a native PS3 application instead of a web application, will fixed these issues while adding some new ones. I like the new preview feature.

Shoes… Me Like

Jump7Miles — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 22:16:30 +0000

Recently, there are a couple of shoes that have caught my interest. It seems ages has past since the times when I would buy probably 2-3 pairs a month. Now, I probably buy shoes on average of 2 per year. Have I lost interest in the sneaker game? A little. Have the shoe designs been sub-par? A tad. Have the pricing and the methods of acquisition been ridiculous? Fucking yes. To get a pair of SB’s, I would have to check each store that MIGHT have the shoes for availability everyday, go line up in front of the store 8 hours before it opens if it does. Then if I’m lucky to still find a pair my size, I have to then pay at least twice the amount that it would cost because the store jacks it up, knowing that if you won’t buy it, the 100 other people behind you will. Yeah, call me bitter.

Sorry for that rant. Back to the original topic. These are a few that I’m quite interested in.

Nike Dunk SB – Pieter Cornelis Mondriaan

This is new Dunk SB is inspired by a Dutch Painter, Pieter Cornelis Mondriaan. I really like the thick black borders that are placed on the stitchings. It creates a boldness that really stands out and it’s a little different than 50 color mashups that Nike has been doing with their SB’s. Below is the one of a series of paintings, called “Compositions”, that it is inspired by.

Gravis Fulton – Expedition Series Pack

I haven’t paid attention to Gravis for a long while, but this one caught my eye. It’s from the Expedition Series pack, which has 4 different of their shoes in an outdoor theme. This particular one that I’m interested in is the Fulton.

Ato Cow Hide Boot

These first caused a craze when Kanye West wore them in the Stronger video. Many people are calling it wack, but I think these are pretty cool. Designed by Ato Matsumoto, these can be pre-ordered on Oki-Ni. It’s only 199 pounds, which is approximately 390 dollars. Thanks, I’ll just watch.

Adidas x Star Wars “The Force” Consortium Pack

These have been released a while ago and I had lost hope in acquiring these. I was really hyped up by these, but I missed my chance. Then 2 weeks ago, I saw them in their gloriously geeked-out box in SURU on Melrose. I have $200 store credit over there, so I was super excited to be able to get at least a pair, even with their usual price gouging. Wishful thinking. $320 for a pair… The force was not with me that day.

Logic fails…

Kaiju Shakedown – How to not cope with reality

“Dutch politician, Geert Wilders, has posted a video on several file sharing sites, including YouTube, that edits together readings from the Koran, footage of terrorist attacks, and militant Muslims calling for attacks on non-Muslim people… His video sets out to make the case that Islam is a violent religion, and it goes about its task with all subtlety of a brick to the head. The response has been highly ironic: on Tuesday 50 people rallied outside the Dutch embassy in Jakarta claiming that Islam was not, in fact, a violent religion and, to prove their point, they demanded that Geert Wilders be put to death.”

EastSouthWestNorth Blog – Coca Cola, You Broke China’s Heart

“The following photograph was taken on April 5 in the Germany city of Bremen. The netizen understood the symbolism as follows:

- The three monks are Tibetan lamas
- The rollercoaster ride represents freedom
- “Make it real” means that Coca Cola intends to bring “freedom” to the Tibet”

Google App Engine Preview Release

Jump7Miles — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 19:57:38 +0000

Google has begun accepting sign ups for their Google App Engine preview release. Google App Engine is basically a hosting solution from Google, where you can run your web apps on their servers and using their custom database system (BigTable). So now, you can write your own web application running on top of Google’s mega infrastructure without having to worry much about servers and load balancing. You know, all that fun stuff. You’ll be able to use their API’s to access the database and your gmail account to send emails from your web app.

Accounts are limited to the first 10,000 developers, and applications are restricted to the free account limits. Every Google App Engine application can use up to 500MB of persistent storage and enough bandwidth and CPU for 5 million monthly page views. It currently only runs applications written in Python, and will later also support Ruby and PHP apps.

GTA4 Multiplayer

Jump7Miles — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 19:05:20 +0000

Kotaku had a hands on with some of the different multiplayer modes for the high anticipated GTA4, which is coming out the 29th of this month. There are the usual deathmatch and team deathmatch modes. And then there are these little co-op side missions that supports up to 4 players. It’ll be exciting to load up the game with 3 friends and cause the usual GTA brand mayhem upon the city. Which reminds me, I still haven’ t finished San Andreas. I keep getting side tracked into dropping people out of their bike and running over innocent pedestrians. MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…
