Weekend Hacks: Left4Dead 2 on dual displays

I tried out SoftTH which allows you to expand some games across multiple displays. Typically it's supposed to be used in a 3+ display setup. Later on I tweaked it with an 80px offset so the cross hair wasn't smack dab inbetween the bezels.

Drawing of Kerrigan's Portrait

I just finished the campaign of Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty and couldn't help but notice some Asian artistic influence in Kerrigan's portrait. I'd guess they hired some Korean talent (Blizzard would be doing no wrong by appealing to that huge market) as it looks akin to the style of something by Hyung-tae Kim.

It's been a really long time since I drew anything so I decided to try and brush up on my drawing, and try to recreate Sarah Kerrigan's portrait seen throughout the game. I guess I still got it :)

Hilarious Taiwanese News Animation on iPhone 4 with Lightsabers

Taiwanese news seems to be notorious for having animations as part of their journalism (previously noted with the animation reenacting the Tiger Woods scandal here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1xaLaLHHms )

They seem to have done it again with this fantastic animation regarding the iPhone 4's stolen prototype (involving Gizmodo), and its antenna issues.

Thanks for leaving the guitar behind @bryanmanio

Everyone else at the office has gone off to a meeting. Going to take a break and practice.

Switcher Brings Expose To Windows

One thing I missed when I turned to my Windows PC as my main workstation from my Mac was the lack of Expose - a neat task switcher that laid out all running programs into a grid of thumbnails at the whim of a keystroke. I recalled using another alternative in the past but it didn't do it so well. Switcher however really nailed how it worked just like on the Mac. Thanks to this and cygwin which satisfies my need for a shell, I'm really not missing work on my Mac too much.
