Pride parade.
As promised here are some pictures of the pride parade. They’re not that high quality since we were smashed in behind the crowd, but whatever:
Holy shit I’m sunburnt. I’ve got some pictures to post from the parade, but I’ll get to it once I’m finished slathering aloe on my face.
Oh yes.
As you can guess, there are now working emulators for the PSP. And by working, I mean working awesomely. In the package I downloaded, there’s an emulator for the Game Boy, Sega Genesis, Sega Master System, TurboGrafix16, Nintendo and Super Nintendo. I’ve tested the Genesis and SNES ones, and wow - totally surpassed my expectations. There’s also a port of DOOM which I haven’t tried, and a few homebrew games. And there’s no bullshit memory card swapping or anything. Great stuff.
P.S.: For the other Luke, there’s more info on the hack here. One more for good measure:
Matt posted some awesome pictures from the first few days of his trip in Thailand.
Accelerando.
Charles Stross’ latest anthology, Accelerando, is available for download under a Creative Commons license. Something like 7 of the stories in there have been nominated for various awards, so I recommend checking it out.
