Arty indie directors and Hollywood execs sometimes don't mix so well. These big-budget clunkers didn't pan out, onscreen or in the studio boardroom.

Wolfenflickr is a Flash-based implementation of Castle Wolfenstein that decorates the castle's walls with random images pulled from any Flickr stream (or any Flickr tag). Shooting Nazis and looking at snapshots: two great tastes that taste great together. Wolfenflickr (via Wonderland)

Ancient Mayan underworld discovered in Mexico (23) share digg
by Lisa Katayama (442) on Boing Boing (18524) 1 day, 17 hours ago permalink
Archeologists in Mexico think they might have discovered Xibalba, a mythical Mayan underworld also known as the "place of fear." After some serious scuba diving and inching across deeply submerged underwater tunnels near the Yucatan peninsula, investigators reached an entrance to a bunch of dry chambers with the stone ruins of eleven sacred temples and a 330-foot long road. There were also lots and lots of human bones. According to the ancient Mayan scripture Popol ...

Winged cats discovered in western China (26) share digg
by Lisa Katayama (442) on Boing Boing (18524) 1 day, 19 hours ago permalink
Winged cats have been known to exist since the 19th century, but only a handful of people have actually seen—let alone owned—one. This woman in Sichuan province watched as her beloved kitty grew angel wings on his back last summer after a bunch of female cats tried to mate with him. "Many female cats in heat came to harass him, and then the wings started to grow," she said. Geneticists have a less romantic theory. ...

No, Silly, Piracy is Theft (3) share digg
2 days, 4 hours ago permalink
A much better analogy for digital piracy is sneaking into a theater to watch a movie. You are not stealing a copy of that movie, and the theater is free to show the movie to others. But you are stealing revenue that the theater would have earned had you rightfully purchased a ticket. - Marcos Toledo devtopics.com 8/28/08 | 2 views | Shared by: Marcos Toledo,

More on BGP Attacks -- Updated (8) share digg
by Kim Zetter (269) on Wired: Threat Level (507) 2 days, 19 hours ago permalink
There was a lot of additional information I wanted to include in my article about intercepting internet traffic through the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), but there wasn't space to include it. So I'll put it in this separate post. First of all, you can read how Anton Kapela and Alex Pilosov conducted their interception of the DefCon network traffic in the slides from their talk (.ppt). Their DefCon presentation, by the way, was an unscheduled, ...

Ethan Persoff is covering the activities of the DNC riot police on his blog. Here's an excerpt from Day 2: It's at this moment that the 'early big moment' happened. Just to repeat: the cops were caging these kids in, tighter and tighter. So a tall guy makes what seems to be a break for it. And that's where I happened to be in a good place for a very clear view. Due to our ...

Fantastic Contraption, addictive Flash game (14) share digg

Warning, addictive Flash game: Fantastic Contraption. You build a little machine to push, pull, drag, or fling a special wheel into the goal. The best part is that when you complete a level, you can see how other players completed it (and how unimaginative you are). Really, really fascinating. For a level requiring some stair climbing, one fellow built a Theo Jansen-like beast that walked right up those stairs. For another level, another person built ...

Daytum is a site for keeping track of your life, a "home for collecting and communicating your daily data". For a glimpse of how Daytum might work, check out Daytum founder Nicholas Felton's personal annual reports. Somewhat related: Trixie Tracker, the online baby tracking software. The first person I remember tracking their data in this way online was Erik Benson on his Morale-O-Meter. (link)
