Computer Scientist Rap – This is no joke, well sort of…

June 29, 2007


Oh! He went there! And you all that computer scienteists couldn’t rap!? Well your mostly right, except for this guy. He goes by the name of Monzy and he spits lyrics so corrupt your head will crash, so fast your brain will lag, so… well you get the point. Ofcourse, much like mainstream gangsta’ rap, you need to be emersed in the culture to actually understand what is being said, and in this case a degree in computer science will help exponentially. Anyways computer scientist or not, or not even a fan of rap, if your into computers you’ll love this rap.

NOT Just Another Free Online Game…

June 28, 2007

You will not see me post a lot on games that you can play online, simply because most free online games are crap and usually only hold your attention for a couple of minutes. This game is DIFFERENT, I know I know, you’ve all heard this before, but trust me this game is addicting and you will be playing for hours on end. The concept is simple build a defense “maze” using various weaponry to kill the critters traversing through your labyrinth of artillery. The challenge of the game is building a maze for optimal damage and placing your defense mechanisms strategically, don’t be scared its easy to jump in and start playing, but playing well takes some skill… You will keep coming back for a short game and end up killing hours per session. So, for those of you that have work to do, DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME, but if you have time and not just simply because your bored but because your actually looking for something to do, an experience if you will, checkout Desktop Tower Defense.

Note: I realize I’ve hyped this game up more than Lebron James’ entrance into the NBA, and just like LeBron, this game will deliver and eventually make it to the playoffs, but will NOT lose in the finals to the San Antonio Spurs! Man, I hate the Spurs…

Since these files are stored online you can get access to them from any computer with Firefox and the Gspace addon installed. So what are you waiting for?
