My good friend Brandon Morris and his group of talented and dedicated modders have just released an incredible Naruto mod for Half-Life.
That’s right, as hard to believe as that is, this work of art is a total-conversion of Half-Life, but it’s impossible to see any of Gordon Freeman’s world in it no matter how hard you look. Not to mention that this community mod is better looking than most commercial Naruto games out there! Check out their blog here!

Ever wanted to take a course to learn something that may enhance your ability to get a really really good jobs? But you didn’t have the time or the money to go to school. Ever dream of going to an ivy league school…hmm I don’t know like MIT but didn’t have the marks, money or even knew what the application process was.
Well thanks to the open source era you can now get online courses for free from a miriad of great universities including MIT.
How you may ask? Well MIT developed an OpenCourseWare site. You have access 1800 courses ranging from Engineering to health sciences, they even have cources for Humanities and the arts.

About a week an half ago (October 10) TELUS Inc. announced that they will be upgrading their network to the next stage in CDMA technology which is called HSPA. To many TELUS followers dismay they will not be changing to the ever popular GSM, BUT (and that is a big BUT) most cell phone carriers will be switching over to HSPA technology in the near future also. So take that ROGERS and FIDO.

Back in March, I wrote about my first experience with Ubuntu. Although it was a very pleasant one, I kept my Vista installed and couldn’t convince my wife to switch over. That meant that every time I got home, Vista was running. More often than not, I’d be too lazy to boot the PC back into Ubuntu and so I just ended up using more Vista than Ubuntu.
Well that’s not entirely fair, I would sometimes boot into Vista myself to use Photoshop. I know that Ubuntu comes loaded with GIMP, its own graphic editor with features comparable to Photoshop, but I was not at all interested in learning a new graphic editor when I had a perfectly good “paid for” one that I was already proficient with.

Google has done it again! Taking an existing app and revamping the way it looks and the way it works… for the sake of internet and all its netizens. Google has created their own browser. Not since the cold war between I.E and Netscape has one been so bold in the face of Microsoft.
Don’t get me wrong, Mozilla is great and it’s my favorite browser by far.
But Google will build on the successes of Mozilla, and play Microsoft at its own game – the art of mass distribution!

It has finally arrived…we will now be able to subscribe to wireless internet for our car! Now you don’t have to wait to get home to perform your WoW raids…you can raid all the way home! Wait a minute isn’t that too dangerous? Well who cares about the road and highway safety guidelines – this is WIFI on the fly!
The other day I heard on the radio that Chrysler will be coming out with WIFI internet for cars. So I did all this research on the net checking out ENDGADGET, TWICE, CRUNCH GEAR and more geek driven sites and to my pleasure it’s true.
Chrysler motors announced earlier this year that it would be providing 2009 models of certain vehicles with internet capabilities. Well earlier this month they announced that they will begin selling this feature as early as August 25 of this year.

A co-worker of mine (we’ll call him Coyote) and I had a friendly discussion the other day about multi-player games. I was arguing that any game can be “fun” and “at least playable” if you played it in multi-player with friends as long as there weren’t any negative outside factors (such as lag, broken controller, sun in your eyes, etc..). We decided to put this theory to the test.
What better way to prove any game could be fun than to pick a game that was on almost every “worst games of all time” list ever written? So what lucky game did we choose? Why Daikatana of course! Haven’t heard of it? A short history is perhaps in order.

As some of you may already know, Osama had some problems running Steam under Windows Vista. He was frustrated and gave up on fixing it. I went over to his house a couple of nights ago and decided to take a look at this Steam problem. I use XP myself and haven’t experienced any problems with Steam before. After doing research on Google, a little experimenting and gulping down some tasty macaroons his wife made, I am happy to say I was able to solve his Steam problem. =)
