…It’s Website Wednesday: Baseball Boss?

Baseball Boss

Baseball Boss is like a Fantasy Baseballer’s dream come true.

Designed to be the ultimate interactive baseball game, users can create teams using real major league players from 1907 or 2007, and then test and tweak those teams until they’re the best that they can be.

Once a team has been assembled, players can then challenge other players in real games, and using a combination of chance and statistics, a computer determines the winner.

New features are constantly being added, and it’s made by Challenge Games, who also developed Duels, so you know it’s going to have some great support behind it.

Are you ready to step up to the plate?

…It’s Movie Monday: My Name Is Lisa?

“My Name is Lisa” is a short film about the Alzheimer’s Disease.

It’s also the winner of Best Short Film in the 2007 YouTube awards, and for good reason. It’s a powerful and emotional (and sad) short about a daughter’s struggle to deal with her mother’s Alzheimer’s, and gives you a glimpse into the lives of those that live with conditions that most of us can’t even imagine.

…Box office data looks better visualized?

The New York Times - The Ebb And Flow Of Movies: Box Office Receipts 1986 - 2007

The height shows the weekly revenue, and the area and color represent the total gross, so you can quickly and easily compare movies side by side.

Notice any trends?

…Nerdcore knows what day it is?

Nerdcore CalendarNerdcore’s 2007 calendar featured the PowerGlove, but that silly attachment pales in comparison to the powers of this year’s calendar.

In this calendar, called “Heroes/Villains”, heroines and their evil counterparts square off in quite revealing ways.

It’s not exactly the type of thing you can display on your desk at work, but if you’ve got a special room in your house (or your parents’ house) that’s just for playing dungeons and dragons in, then your walls NEED this calendar.

Flame on!
