Just came across this and thought it looked great, Project Teddy is a java applet that takes your 2D drawings and makes them 3D.

Definatly going to have to play around with this for a while

I find this rather interesting, for years people have been writing “clean me” on the sides of dirty vans and what not, its only a matter of time before people take it to the next level. This is what Paul “Moose” Curtis does, using cleaning fluid and a shoe brush/old sock he creates graffiti by cleaning surfaces in public locations.

Its in interesting take upon graffiti which often “damages” a suface this infact repairs and yet authorities still call it vandalism which is highly amusing.

So apple have released iTunes 7 that comes with Movie downloads now which is nice, I am hoping they manage to get a nice selection on there (I have yet to install the new version).

One of the new features with iTunes is the ability (finally) to back up your library & iTunes purchases to a CD or DVD. Scott over at tuaw has posted a neat little tutorial to show you how to navigate the new feature, it should also be noted that you can backup to multiple discs incase you have a very large music collection.

The new iPod generation 5.5 has been shown to the public with the news that downloadable games will be available for both the G5 and G5.5. Having been bored with the games on my ipod for a while I was pleased to see that pac-man would be available, now if only we could get Myst ported.

I believe I saw a screenshot to the new Family Guy game a while ago but I cannot be sure, however Robert over at Destructoid has posted a selection of new screenshots from the upcoming game.

I am not usually a fan of games made from popular cartoons, my experience with The Simpsons games left a sour taste in my mouth for the most part. However I am a huge fan of family guy and if the game contains a fraction of the genius thats found in the cartoon I expect I would enjoy it. Of course whether the shows genius outweights the bad points of the game remains to be seen, like alot of games in this style it seems to me that the creators skimp on graphics due to the nature of the game which often results in blurred and stretched textures and poor looking characters.
