I still have anxiety when it comes to using my real name online. I still stick a variation of my very first email address (which got deleted by a hacker, back when you couldn't undelete/recover AOL screen names). It was pedro423. A combination of a nickname I've been called my whole life, and my grandparents' house number. #
You know you remember one or two of these old school handheld games. They're still pretty entertaining (but it helps that I'm miles better than I used to be at them). #
Dimitri Tishchenko makes sure you'll always feel inferior when playing with Buckyballs (small super strong neodymium magnets). I admit I didn't look through all 721 photos currently in the set, but I'm sufficiently impressed. #
"Hey McFly. I thought I told you never to come in here." This guy got a job as a security guard at Universal Studios when they were filming Back to the Future, and took some photos of the set in both of its versions (1955 and 1985). Very cool. #
I admit it. I've been collecting images to go along with most of my links. I've been collecting them almost ever since I started hosting my own links (in April of 2009). Instead of hording the images for myself, I figured, it'd make the links (and site) a bit more appetizing if I actually served them, instead of just keeping them stored in the system. Your RSS feeds should be automatically updated with the new photos, and the site now looks a bit less dull, now populated with a bunch of images. Happy 2011. #
Somehow these guys got their hands on an early prototype of The Legend of Zelda, and posted it for us all to play with our favorite emulator. Reportedly it's easier… but you can read about all the changes as well. Impressive find. #
There aren't many details about the cake (see: none), but it looks awesome. I'm not a big fan of fondant, and the cake looks too cool to eat anyway. #
I may not be the immense Star Wars geek that most web geeks tend to be, but I can certain appreciate these unique and awesome posters. Really, they're well done. They're already sold out of both the three-pack, and the individual posters. I personally would have opted for the Boba Fett/Empire Strikes Back poster. #
A handy little machine to draw on all types of spherical objects? Easter eggs won't be nearly as plain, ping-pong balls stand no chance, Christmas ornaments all personalized and jazzed up. Way cool. (Probably not worth the $180 for my purposes, but still, it'd be awesome) #
Since they only sell LIVESTRONG bracelets in packs of 10 any longer, you can use one of your leftovers (it took me 3) to make yourself an iPhone 4 case and vastly improve your reception. #
