A forum post on the XBox 360 forums has a series of startling photographs and screen caps illustrating that a lot of work went into making PGR3 look like real life. If the photographs are real, and the screencaps are real, then… whoosh, Microsoft did a fantastic job!
Colleague sent me this commercial about the Citröen that lampoons the Transformers… and, unless it’s a joke, here’s reality getting back at parody again: leaked ILM footage of a live action Transformer. Which be totally sweet. Please make that movie.

Dive into Accesibility is one of the coolest web usability sites I’ve seen in a long time. It has great little gems like the Lynx viewer (what does your site look like using Lynx to give you an idea of what people with visual disabilities hear first?) and Vischeck, a neato interface for seeing what your site looks like for people with varying forms of colorblindedness.

So you combine a new iPod with its ability to do video (why oh why didn’t I wait for a video iPod) with Google Maps or Google Earth and what do you get?
You get a website that allows users to enter two addresses… the website will generate a little movie of the drive there on a map and produce a podcast (or something similar) that contains that dynamically generated movie… the user will download it into their iPod and will then drive away with their nifty little dynamic map, trying not to kill themselves as they drive along looking at their iPod.
Wouldn’t that be fuckin’ sweet?
