I think I’ll use this space to generally collect any random projects I end up working on, not just sketches. On the sketch front, I managed to retrieve my awesome scanner (a very nice gift from an old friend) from NYC a few weekends ago, and I just need to get off my but enough to just plug it in to my home imac. so hopefully, uh, that’ll happen.

The impetus being a $6 MicroSD card spotted on woot!, a few of us at the office have bought the R4 Slot-1 gaming system for Nintendo DS. So far, it’s totally awesome. Without delving into my alleged activities in the seedy underbelly of emu forums past, this is the easiest emu / homebrew setup I have ever worked with.

The whole “storage device”/alternative usages of Gameboys and DSs has a busy little community with tons of homemade applications. There is a nice little OS X droplet app for easily DLDI patching existing homebrew apps.  So far I have tried Phidias (a drawing app) and DSOrganize. Both are fun and maybe, potentially useful. I might try to do a little DigDug clone for the hell of it. God that game is awesome.
