Come on Down, Links

How My Foolproof Scientific System Got Us Onto The Price Is Right. Oh man, even though I'm sure I would do terrible at it, I would love to get on the Price is Right. Wheel of Fortune is more my speed. True story that my wife can attest to: A couple months ago I got a puzzle without a single letter turned. The category was Books and Authors and the answer was The Old Man and The Sea. Seriously, no letters turned. I would kill on Wheel.

Meet The Justice League Of Defaced American Currency. I think this is technically illegal.

Elusive giant squid captured on video in the ocean deep for first time. Oh man, I love me some old timey sea creatures like this. If I was an evil genius I would totally put my evil lair underwater so I could watch giant squid and sharks swim by all day while I plot my evil plans. Not that I've given it much thought or anything.

Sony And Microsoft Should Be Worried About The Steam Box. Very Worried. I almost didn't post this because it's full of soo many assumptions clearly designed at hit-bait. First off, Valve showed up at ECS this year with a half dozen prototypes of what a possible steam box might look like, and Kotaku has to run with a design that wasn't one of them but a high end mini-computer made by the guys that will "probably" make the Steam Box. Internet journalism at it's finest.

The real point here is that the Steam Box is a threat to Sony and Microsoft. People want to play games, and except for a handful of loyalists most consumers don't care who makes the magic box that allows them to play the new Madden and COD. If Valve can make a mini-pc that allows people to play big name games at the PC price with free on-line play then they could definitely steal some market share from the big two.

I'll go to Price Is Right with you just for a chance to meet Amber Lancaster. If a girl like that comes from Tacoma it gives me hope for Lynnwood and vicinity.
