Anything and Everything that is cool, hot, fresh and classic.
Last year, Blog Action Day united thousands of online voices to support the environment.
This year, Blog Action Day is again uniting thousands of voices, and this time they’re helping to bring awareness to the issue of Poverty on October 15.
If you’d like to help, just visit Blog Action Day’s website and read about all the things that you can do to show your support. Then, check back on the 15th and I’ll have a special post on DYH just for Blog Action Day ’08.
Always dreamed of living on the streets, but can’t stand the cold?

Food for thought: Despite the fervor surrounding Apple’s announcement today, and the thousands of rumors that have surfaced as a result, the biggest change to the iPhone is going to be an already announced feature: Apps.
Many of these apps are going to be games, and so far, it looks like many of the major game manufactures are on-board and developing for the new platform, which got me thinking; could these partnerships develop into full gaming support for Apple’s full-sized computers as well?
Gaming has long been a missing aspect of the Mac experience, but a few key converts could change all that, meaning the iPhone Apps could be a door for Apple to use to enter the lucrative gaming market that it needs if it’s going to continue its growth and market share acquisition.
Makes you wonder…

Today is CSS Naked Day, and in support, I’ve stripped off all of the CSS styling from this site to give you a glimpse at what it would be like to view DYH in the nude.
CSS Naked Day was designed to promote Web Standards, including the proper use of “(x)html, semantic markup, a good hierarchy structure, and of course, a good ‘ol play on words”.
Worry not, however, as DYH will be fully covered up by this time tomorrow.
Until then though, be sure to appreciate my <body>.
If you happen to be shopping for shirts inside of a Target, then be sure to stop by the EGPApparel section, because they’re selling shirts that not only feature artwork from Experimental Gameplay Project games, they actually feature the games themselves on a CD that comes with each one.
Supporting indie game developers and getting a unique looking shirt out of the deal; all at the same time?
I’ll take two.

Twhirl is an Adobe Air based Twitter client that runs on both Windows and Macs, and features the following:
While I’m currently a fan of Twitterrific, I’ve started to use Twhirl on the Windows based work computer, and definitely like the feature set. It’s easy to use, unobtrusive, and gives you plenty of customization. Plus, Adobe is pushing hard to get developers to work with Air, so there’s a lot of support there for future developments as well.
Maybe it’s time to give Twhirl a whirl.

The 2008 Twitter Color Wars has basically taken over the Twitter world recently, and is an interesting adaptation of a technology that, besides things like Color Wars and StrawPoll that people have created, serves no purpose. (Ok, so you can find out someone’s status, but really, where’s the fun in that?)
Twitter Color Wars is basically a popularity contest where the Twitterati rally around a single color and show their support by taking their profile picture in team colors.
The War goes well beyond just a popularity contest though, as games are going to pit teams against each other to compete for total domination.
Game #1 is a round of Bad Ass RoShamBo.
To play, members took a picture of themselves in their team colors throwing their throw of choice, and then uploaded that picture to Flickr with the appropriate tags. Then, a bracket style RoShamBo tournament will be held tonight with a best of three RSB match determining the winner.
I love the fact that this game evolved out of nothing and turned into a something that everyone wants to be involved in. It’s a fun adaptation of a technology that people continue to find uses for, and there’s a lot of potential for additional games.
Which side are you on?
(And to talk a little smack on the other teams, check out SmackTalk.)
Edit: It looks like zefrank is behind it all. Check out the Colorwar story here.

The minds over at ReadWriteWeb seem to think that with the announcement of Exchange support and the iPhone SDK, Apple has set themselves up to become the dominating force in next gen computing, and I must say that I agree.
Here’s why:
The list goes on and on.
Basically, as long as Apple can ride its current wave of iPhone success to conclusion, it will set the bar far beyond what anyone else is even striving towards at this point. The iPhone has created a whole new game, and currently, Apple is the only player.
Does this mean Apple will surely dominate next gen computing?
Time will tell, but all signs currently point to yes.
