A nice little 3-d ball rolling game. Keep the marble on the platform.
Glogs are the New Orange
So it seems there’s a new buzzterm floating around the tubes recently. Glogs.
Glogs? GLOGS???
Game Blogs. Blogs where someone semi- or directly connected with a game (usually a Reality TV Show-type game) does his thing, saying it’s commentary, usually with tons of cross-promotion and product placement.
So yeah, here’s a glog for ya: GoldRush! Here you can find out all about AOL, CBS’s new show The Class….oh, and the new show that’s touting itself as a Reality TV Show with an online Alternate Reality Gameish element.
Answer such challenges as “What were Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez referred to?” for your chance to win $100,000. Other challenges can be answered by watching various CBS shows, looking at videos of Google Earth or searching AOL sites. Yay!
From the FAQ:
Q: How do I win $100,000 in gold?
A: If you’re one of the first three players to complete any of our 12 online rounds, you’ll be sent to an exciting location somewhere in the country to compete for $100,000 in gold against your two fellow pop culture experts.
All I can say is….kick some butt, ARGers! :)
PS-..and please note how much I’ve matured by not taking another poke at Ben Affleck.
Improv Everywhere: Lost Rob
IE just pulled off a pretty good-natured prank at Yankee Stadium, one that got entire sections involved with helping a poor lost fan find his way back to his seat.

Insurance for your iPod Files
Well, this has been too long in coming, but I’m glad to see it offered now. Nationwide Insurance is now offering coverage for “intangible assets” such as all the music stored on your iPod. This could’ve come in handy for my son, who has lost his entire music collection…twice!
“Nationwide’s cover is for any download – ringtones, games, films or music – wherever it is held, be that a phone, PC, laptop or music player. The important point is that the owner will have to prove they have paid for the download.”
While proof may be a little problematic for some, I wonder if iTunes will at least provide a purchase history list upon request, since they DO keep that info.
