Getting Kids To Program Old School Video
Games 04/06/2005 06:48 AM
It seems that every recent story about Atari has been about their attempts (in their modern form -- quite different from the original Atari) to make a killing on the nostalgia market, offering up classic games from years back to today's adults -- either on computers or (increasingly) on mobile phones. However, it appears that many feel the basic concepts of old Atari videogames are still valuable for game designers to learn -- resulting in a competition to design new games for the Atari 2600. Of course, there's one twist: the games needed to be created in 24 hours. While the story is amusing to read, what it really does is remind people that, despite all the amazing graphics found in today's game, a game is still about gameplay at its core -- which many of today's game designers seem to forget.

Presents For Bad Kids Head To eBay,
Rather Than Kids

Presents For Bad Kids Head To eBay,
Rather Than Kids 12/27/2004 04:42 AM
Well, normally, people wait until after they've received presents to dump them on eBay. However, one father who felt his three sons were being particularly bad lately decided that to punish them he's putting their presents up for sale on eBay. To be honest, this sounds like a bit of a publicity stunt -- and it seems likely that, now that this is getting attention, that casino that seems to be buying e very random quirky auction item will snap this one up. Update: Whoops. It's apparently already happened. Indeed, the casino in question has d ecided to buy the undelivered presents. This is sort of an update on our story last year about how sellers were increasingly looking to use eBay as a publicity generating tool. It appears that's now being used by buyers to generate publicity, as well.

MP3 Players Aren't Just For Kids; In
Fact They're Barely For Kids 12/19/2004 03:47 PM
The common bit of wisdom is that MP3s are a young person's technology. It's the teens and the folks just coming out of college that are the MP3 generation, after all, so they'd be the most likely to own an MP3 player, right? Not at all, apparently. A new study says that 90% of MP3 player owners over 34 years old. While this may have something to do with the high price of many of the best MP3 players, the numbers still don't seem right. It would be interesting to see the methodology behind this study. That's not to say that those over 34 aren't likely to own an MP3 player, but it's hard to believe that 90% of MP3 players go to those 35 and older.

Every few weeks I get email from folks blocked from viewing metafilter at work, asking for my help. I'd never experienced it, so I usually tell folks that if they don't know the right IT person to ask, maybe they shouldn't browse the internet on the job.

I'm staying in a hotel in San Francisco right now and they offer free hotel wireless, which is nice. What isn't nice is that they've got a proxy server set up, just like a lot of large workplaces. You can probably guess where this is going.

Here's what I get when I go to any site that ends in .metafilter.com

And just to show you how lame the system is, it thinks Glassdog is mature. A quick scan of the average day's posts there shows you just how catty and immature Glassdog can be.

There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason. BoingBoing works fine, but Waxy.org doesn't. Why on earth should a hotel wireless network care if you want to visit "chat" sites? Why insult your own guests?

I'm sitting on the doorstep handing out treats to trick or treaters. I'm dressed up as a computer geek with my laptop playing Halloween songs from Rhapsody over my wireless network.

Well, okay, I'm not really dressed up... it's my everyday outfit, but I'm still running with it. It's a shifted holiday at my house!

Oh, and the Laughing Librarian just came by my house with his daughter. He's dressed in a safari outfit with a giant snake wrapped around his body. Awesome!

Treat British Airways as damage and
route around them

Treat British Airways as damage and
route around them 08/29/2004 12:41 PM
Cory Doctorow: I was trying to buy a one-way ticket from Brussels to London in September, and I ran into the weirdest, dumbest thing: British Airways won't sell you a ticket over the Web if your credit-card isn't billed in the same country the flight originates in (Er, hello? You're an airline -- that means you deal with people who are traveling, sometimes to countries other than the one that they reside in).

So I called BA and was told that the same ticket would cost 400 percent more if bought over the phone. So I went to a BA counter in Boston and was quoted a fare that was 200 percent more than the Web-fare.

I tried booking through Expedia, but they wanted to mail me a paper ticket. Since I rarely touch down in any city for more than a couple days, intersecting with a postal-delivery system for time-sensitive materials is pretty tricky.

Then I gave up on the Web and went to SN Brussels Air, a little carrier whose website has never ever worked for me. I called the London reservations desk and booked a ticket for exactly what BA charges via its website.

That's no surprise: as it turns out, the flight is operated by British Airways. It's the same goddamned plane.

So that's the point of this post: if ever you want to book a ticket on BA from Brussels to London, book it through SN Brussels Air (by phone -- the website will probably remain busted for all eternity), and you can circumvent BA's dumbass ecommerce policies and extorionate phone/counter prices.
