In what was, without doubt, the biggest blunder in the Geekly Update’s history, the birthday of highly valued and most dedicated reader CharlesN52 was overlooked. Regular readers of the site will know that a select body of oh so special readers, who have contributed to and remained loyal to the site since its genesis, receive a special personal thank you on their birthdays. For a reader who last year, expressed his sadness to me personally at having narrowly missed the first instance of this feature, left instead in the realms of the unappreciated for an entire year, the omission was inexcusable. There are no justifiable reasons for this lapse in professionalism, or any words that can aptly portray the shame and disappointment felt within the walls of Geekly Update HQ today.
Happy Birthday FACE, I can only hope that your loyalty remains unfettered and my love reciprocated.
This really is a stroke of geekery. By working a little magic this little piece of codes puts a swing into the step of any track by “time-stretching the first half of each beat while time-shrinking the second half.” Results below.
Whatever you have sported as a costume, to whatever event, at whatever age is nothing compared to what this guy created by hand. Your fancy dress game is weak, WEAK!
PAC-MAN was born on 22 May 1980 in Japan. To mark the game’s 30th birthday, Google has replaced their ever-evolving logo with a playable Google-themed game. Simply hit the ‘Insert Coin’ button and play away. If you fancy having a friend join in hit the ‘Insert Coin’ button again and play away with Ms PAC-MAN by your side. Apparently this entire logo was designed by two employees at Google – good work!
Last year we brought you the Damien Walters highlight reel. Since then Damien’s film career as a stunt man has taken off landing him roles in both Hell Boy 2 as part of Jackie Chan’s stunt team and most recently as a stunt double in blockbuster film Kick Ass. As expected this new showreel is absolutely incredible.
The Dallas Cowboys literally, and I really do mean literally, blew up the Texas Stadium this week. Thankfully they had the decency to put a 3D camera inside whilst the fireworks happened for your viewing pleasure. Click and drag to move the video round whilst they bring the house down around you. BOOM!
For the first of three encores at a concert in San Francisco last week, Chinese pianist Lang Lang played ‘Flight of the Bumblebee’ on an iPad. Watch him tickle the virtual ivory using the Magic Piano app. Mad skills!
