Game Day

Projects are due, your boss is angry but you have the wisdom to know that a few rounds of arcade fun are exactly what you need to max your productivity.

Maelstrom 3.0

I was happy to see this classic come back in both OS X and classic form. Spin, thrust and blast your way through the asteroids offline or with others on the Internet.

GLTron

Another classic reborn: GLTron. This game is pretty simply Tron for OS X with a funky 80′s soundtrack (in stereo). Tip: remap the keys.

Quinn

Tetris in OS X. Not much more to say about this one. Have fun!

Virtual Pet Rock

Another free game. This one requires a serial number you get online. This unique number will allow you to upload information on your pet rock to the web site. Sad? Yes, but a great time killer.

Well, that wraps it up for this Freeloader Friday. I’ve got to work on that high score…

Until next week,

Brian

iPods In the White House

The contents of U.S. President George W. Bush’s iPod were recently leaked by a White House aide. Many people speculate that someone’s musical tastes provide an insight to their personality. So what’s the verdict on W based on the Presidential iPod playlists?

It’s official, the President jams like the rest of us.
Originally given to him as a birthday gift from his twin daughters last July, George W. and his iPod have become inseparable and reportedly he won’t exercise without it. It’s not clear if the iPod makes a good “spotter” during weightlifting or not.

The playlists on the Presidential iPod include mostly country music. However several rock tunes make an appearance including Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, and the Knack. The New York Times reports the iPod contains only about 250 songs, but it has a capacity for 10,000+.

While the music on the President’s iPod has been made public, the Vice President has managed to keep the contents of his iPod a closely guarded secret.

It kind of makes you curious. What would Dick Cheney listen to on his iPod? A blogger named Ryan Boudinot speculates that the following playlists might be on Cheney’s iPod:

  • Classified Light
  • Classified Driving Music
  • Classified Smooth Jazz
  • Ashcroft, Seals and Croft
  • Rock and Roll, Probably
  • Prehomosexual Elton John
  • Now That’s What I Call Music! (Vols. 1-10)
  • Republican Party Music

So the next time you hear that President Bush is doing something imperative for the safety of the world, picture him and Dick Cheney singing “My Sharona” or hosting an iPod DJ Party.
