I was just having a conversation yesterday with my friend Patrick. Singing the praises of video games and the good that they actually contain and emit. I got into the whole "sim" thing with him and talked about all the orginizational skills they teach etc. But I failed to mention the Money. Cold, Hard Cash is rollin in for Jason Ainsworth. He is a virtual(in the pixel sense) real estate mogul in the sim game Second Life. And he pays his mortgage with the procedes!

src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3i2y4sEQpRI"> This one seems kind of obvious, but hey I haven't seen one yet. I also couldn't find one with google. So here ya go. A NYC Subway Map for the SONY Playstation Portable (PSP.) Fun, safe and crystal clear. (in fact you could even take the resolution down to save precious memory stick space.) WARNING: I am fairly sure I should say you may not use this map. It is not to be downloaded by clicking Here and dropped into a PHOTO folder on your PSP. It should also not be viewed using the magnifying glass (found when you push the triangle button.) And finally you should not use the Joystick to navigate thru the map. Ok, that should satisfy the boys in legal. Enjoy. UPDATE: This map was obtained from www.nycsubway.org and was designed by Michael Calcagno.

Faxing from your iPhone is now as easy as 1, 2, 3! A little company called eFax.com exists to help you receive and send faxes from your computer/laptop. The beauty is they have a way to send faxes from your iPhone as well. And it comes in a FREE 30 day trial. 1. Create the text you wish to fax in an email 2. Send that email to the phone number you wish to fax plus @efaxsend.com (ex. 555-555-1212@efaxsend.com) Hmm, I guess its actually as easy as 1, 2. Let me also say that I know damn well this will work on any phone/PDA that can send an email, but I’ll be damned if I am gonna give up all that tasty iPhone traffic. On a side note, a nifty little fax prank that GNF does not condone goes as follows. Get yourself a sheet of black paper. Fax it to someone. They run out of ink. Mean right? So do not do it! On an entirely different subject, if you are interested in Scientology you can contact them at this number (727) 441-8849. Oh, wait never mind. That's their fax number.
