PSA - Tumblr is going to be down. Get those reblogs in while you still can.

PSA: Canvas is now open to the public!

Canvas is the internet’s premier image remixing website.  It used to be in closed beta but now its doors are wide open. Anyone can sign up for an account, just visit Canv.as and create an account. Easy.

A few months back we showed off Canvas on the DrawCast.  It’s a really cool site, and now that it’s open to anyone you should go sign up. GO, GO, GO!

Also enjoy this remix of Dave. He’s a good dude and he works at Canvas.

Google One of Many Victims in SSL Certificate Hack 

This may not effect you since “Google, Mozilla and Microsoft have revoked or are in the process of revoking DigiNotar’s authority to vouch for its certificates.” However if you’re using a Mac with Keychain Access you need to do the following:

  • Open Keychain Access
  • Select System Roots
  • Enter DigiNotar in search box
  • Double click on DigiNotar
  • Change “Trust” to “Never Trust”

PSA: iPhone alarms not working come New Year's Day 2011 

This may sound eerily familiar.  That’s because a similar problem happened during Daylight Savings earlier this year.  This time around it’s only affecting the one off alarms, reoccurring alarms supposedly work just fine. So now you know. And now you don’t have an excuse to be late to work on Monday.

PSA: The Donkey Kong world record belongs, again, to Steve Weibe. 

PSA: Every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is on Netflix Instant

If you don’t already have the DVD’s go and watch.

The Fastest (and Slowest) Way to Charge an iPad 

I guess this should be labeled a PSA?  

PSA: Infiltration Is Awesome

I’ve never been so addicted to a game type I’m so bad at.  There is a  mode in Splinter Cell: Conviction called “Infiltration” that I got as a bonus for pre-ordering from Amazon.  The mode will be unlocked for everyone else… eventually.  The idea is to kill every guy on the level without being spotted, tripping alarms, or detonating anything.

Basically you have to play it like the first Splinter Cell.  A game I wasn’t very good at when it launched, but a game type I am craving right now.  I think I love it because it is unforgiving.  It makes you play perfectly, and since I already played through the campaign, I’m not frustrated by this keeping me from the story.

I played the first section of the first level for 2 hours before I was able to make it through.  In other games I would put the controller down, eject the disc and never play it again (read: COD4).  But it was still engaging and made me want to be the super spy.  And that’s really where Infiltration sits.  Difficult but not frustrating.  It’s such a narrow line that it dances across, and it’s a line that is completely subjective.  What I find difficult someone else will find frustrating.  

Anyway, if you’ve picked up Conviction be sure to check out Infiltration.  It is worth it.

As a side note, I would very much like to play the Co-op story.  If anyone has Conviction and is looking for a partner send me a message gamertag Ice Jedi.
