Some years ago I programmed a few projects for the NES (Nintendo’s 8-bit games console, famed for the original Mario Bros games)—since then, things have moved on a long way in the world of games consoles…

…which is why I was so impressed when I discovered Grand Theftendo.

Grand Theftendo is a new homebrew game for the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). It is a tribute to Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto III running on the 8 bit, 256×240 resolution, 2 bit colour x 2 bit palette, 1.79 Mhz system, written entirely in 6502 Assembly Language!

It’s truly amazing what some people will do in their spare time—he’s even written his own 6502 assembler!

I found this some weeks back, and have enjoyed revisiting it:

PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail-in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard.

Today, in the early hours of the morning, the new Scapegoat Kelly website went live!

All aboard the funk train!

For those of you who’ve been attending gigs: it would be great if you would go along to the website and leave some comments.
