Yet another milk and cookies find. Someone out there spent some time creating a half-life/quake 2 style shooter in Shockwave called Phosphor. It even has a deathmatch feature. Pretty cool considering all you need is a web browser and the Shockwave plugin.

Daily Show pokes fun at Dubya
I found this link on milk and cookies. It’s 4 of his speeches all rolled up into one. Anyway, I just thought it was too funny to pass up linking here. Enjoy!
Camino, ready for prime time?
Camino is a relatively new web browser designed specifically for the Mac that brings the power of Mozilla’s gecko engine without the process weight and larger memory footprint of either Firefox or Mozilla. Camino emulates much of the Safari user experience in it’s simplicity, but still retains many of Mozilla’s features under the hood. (you can still get at it’s internals with the about:config
URL) One of my biggest pet peeves with Safari is it’s broken JavaScript. As a sysadmin, I manage a lot of devices that rely on JavaScript & Java support. While Safari is generally adequate for surfing the web, it’s flaws become apparent when attempting to manage some hardware web interfaces. For this task I would usually open the Mac version of Firefox, but it’s huge memory footprint (compared with Safari) and process weight could bring my humble G4 iMac to its knees if I had more than a couple of apps open. I was discouraged by previous experiences with Camino, but this new 1.0 release looks to be fairly solid.
