I am so so so impressed! I would spend hours playing that!

Crayon Physics Deluxe is a sequel to the popular freeware game Crayon Physics. Or you can think of it as the game I would have created if I would have had more than 7 days to do it. Way more than 7 days. More like 7 months or 17 months.

Anyway Crayon Physics Deluxe is a 2D physics puzzle game, in which you get to experience what it would be like if your drawings would be magically transformed into real physical objects. Solve puzzles with your artistic vision and creative use of physics.

The game features:
• Greatly improved physics (you can draw what ever you want)
• Huge number of new levels
• Easy to use level editor

You can read more about the game from my blog. Also you can test the original prototype which is freely available. But please understand that the prototype isn’t a demo version of this game and doesn’t reflect the quality of Crayon Physics Deluxe.

Attention New York tourists: Canal Street is closed. Or a least part of it is. For the moment.

After the police conducted a $1m raid Tuesday morning, Mayor Mike Bloomberg posed with a ‘CLOSED’” sign among the trays of fake watches and piles of counterfeit handbags. The bust involved 32 separate storefronts, all owned by the same estate and located in a triangular city block newly dubbed the ‘Counterfeit Triangle,’ bounded by Canal, Walker, and Centre Streets. The counterfeit trade, according to the press release, is ’standing in the way of the revitalization of Chinatown,” and the mayor intends to make renting to counterfeit retailers “a losing business proposition.’

*EDIT*
There are some jems in the comments section under the New York Times Article

For those wondering how these astronomical losses are calculated, it involves the math and logic of a 5-year-old:
1) Estimate how many people bought the fake Vuitton bag for $50;
2) Assume that every single person who bought a fake bag for $50 would have bought a $1500 bag if the fake bags weren’t available;
3) Ignore the howls of laughter at the absurd logic and multiply (number of sales) x $1500;
4) Hold press conference.

In almost everything to do with New York City, I try to follow the money. And my guess is if you follow the money in this case, you’ll end up in the office of a property developer…probably one of the handful of aristocratic families that rule New York City, and who are desperate to gain land in lower Manhattan that is still eligible for Liberty bonds.

Free! Why $0.00 Is the Future of Business
Once a marketing gimmick, free has emerged as a full-fledged economy. Offering free music proved successful for Radiohead, Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, and a swarm of other bands on MySpace that grasped the audience-building merits of zero. The fastest-growing parts of the gaming industry are ad-supported casual games online and free-to-try massively multiplayer online games. Virtually everything Google does is free to consumers, from Gmail to Picasa to GOOG-411.

The rise of “freeconomics” is being driven by the underlying technologies that power the Web. Just as Moore’s law dictates that a unit of processing power halves in price every 18 months, the price of bandwidth and storage is dropping even faster. Which is to say, the trend lines that determine the cost of doing business online all point the same way: to zero.

I’ve been looking for something like this: color-coded, tall, thin trash cans, that make it easy to separate everything out. We’re currently doing it the old fashioned way, and it’s less than esthetically pleasing. But, at $140 each, why do I have to have such expensive taste!?

I was browsing through review sites, mostly as research for iliketheprettyboxes.com and I came across this gem:

Kara’s Cupcakes

Fact: Adrienne G has a big mouth. In a completely Sagittarian gesture, she is the one most likely to inadvertently piss off the chosen few in her inner circle with venemous words sharpened like poison-tipped darts. She will say the wrong thing to the wrong person and somehow ruffle someone’s pretty little feathers and then find herself pushing a mop across the mess she made.

Luckily, cupcakes are an excellent way to say ‘I’m sorry’.

This is something I’ve been listening to a good bit the past week or so. Great remixes, re-envisioning, and covers (my favorite track being “15 Steps” featuring Codany Holiday)! The DJ, Amplive, begged Radiohead to get permission and it ended up getting it!

While the Oakland producer/DJ acknowledges that he probably should have contacted Radiohead (who were not involved in the project) to seek approval prior to making his interpretations publically available, an agreement has been reached between all involved parties and Amplive has been granted permission to release Rainydayz Remixes for free to the general public. Effective immediately, the eight-track record is available here.

Rainydayz Remixes is composed exclusively of source material pulled from In Rainbows, re-envisioned by Amplive and complimented by vocal work from Too $hort, MC Zumbi of Zion I, Chali2na of Jurassic 5, Codany Holiday, and Del The Funky Homosapien.

go.. download.. enjoy!
