Avast! It’s Talk Like A Pirate Day! Just a quick note – today is the all-important, soon-to-be-nationally-observed ‘Talk Like a Pirate Day!’ Visit this web site for all the lowdown. So I leave you with this quote – ‘Brwaack! Polly want a cracker? … Oh, wait. That’s for Talk Like a PARROT Day.’
Official GTA Liberty City Stories Web Site Launches
Oh my my. Rockstar Games has launched a website dedicated to what looks to be the PSP killer app – Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. The site has an amusing backstory for the pending Playstation Portable title, including a link to a fake Ammunation.net site. The site features emails to a reporter at the Liberty City daily rag, the ‘Liberty Tree’, all rendered in yellow-on-blue CC:Mail glory and give us some insight as we not-so-patiently wait for the release of the game on October 24th.

Liveblogger inside NOLA data center continues posting
First hand accounts keep coming on this blog — from a guy working for a hosting company (DirectNIC.org). He and a small team of colleagues remain in New Orleans to keep their network up and running. Text and images posted regularly. Link (Thanks, Tom Whalen and others) (Via BoingBoing).
The streaming video he has running is amazing all on it’s own. This guy has been posting photos, running this webcam etc. Amazing, really.
Also of note: Streaming local police scanner here. And this video blog on Current documents one young Cajun’s efforts to assist in rescue efforts. His analogy of asking a Cajun to come help people with his flat bottom boat is akin to asking a child at a fat camp to come help with a surplus of pizza. Bless him.
