Baby Gastronomy

BabyprosciuttoThis answers the ongoing question of ‘What do italian babies eat?’ Prosciutto, of course! The Food Section also reports that pasta and biscotti are quite popular as well. Duh on those last two. Macaroni and zwieback, just I-talian-style. I think Sam would love this stuff – just as soon as he takes his fist out of his mouth. We will hold the line on solid foods for as long as possible, though.

And I quote:

Because the only thing cuter than a baby, is an iPodified baby.

What that really means is unknown to yours truly, but it sure is an interesting concept. $15.95 from iPodMyBaby.com. Does anyone expect Apple’s lawyers to take this one lying down? Expect a domain name change pronto. I do think, however, that Sam would look darn spiffy in one of these.

CVS Camcorder download alpha

Cvs-Camcorder-1Someone has created a how-to for extracting video from the recently released CVS disposable camcorders. They are cheap devices intended for one-time use. Had the opportunity to fool around with these at a recent off-site for TBS. Interesting possibilities…

First you need to build a USB cable. Next, plug in the camera and create an inf file using libUSB. Finally, grab the OPS program and start extracting the video. Here is the thread announcing the release. Congratulations to BillW, morcheeba, daBass and anyone else who helped contribute to the project.

Here is Make’s chronology of how this latest development happened.

GTA: Liberty City Stories First Look

PSM has an in-depth look at GTA: Liberty City Stories for the Playstation Portable and boy is it juicy. I think this may be the killer PSP app to date.

Guns? Check. Carjacking? Check. A fully realized 3D world in which you are free to do pretty much anything you want, including meeting with shady characters who send you on missions of questionable legality? Check, check and check. Yep, this is GTA all right.

This GTA takes place in the Liberty City of GTA 3, but this time around you play as Tony Cipriani, the guy who handed out missions in 3 – that role was voiced by Michael Madsen – hope he’s back in this version too.

Taking place three years before the events of GTA3, that’s about 1998 or so, for those who dont want to do the math- Liberty City Stories follows Toni Cipriani as he moves up in the criminal world. While it may not seem like it, three years is alot of time, and there are bound to be some changes. For example, three years before Sex Club 7 became the place where Luigi (Joe Pantoliano) gave work to the mute GTA 3 protagonist, the strip club was called Paulie’s Revue Bar.

The game sounds like it’s packed with almost everything that we love about Rockstar games, no, that doesn’t mean it’s just really, really violent. Liberty City will be a truly open-ended game, feature tons of customization and lots of vehicles to jack.

According to the article, the game will support downloadable content, but Rockstar is still being tight lipped about whether it will offer up WiFi multiplayer, MP3 support, etc.
