BOCHS running on Sony’s PSP

BOCHS, the open-source x86 emulator, has been ported to the Sony PSP. How long until someone combines these instructions to install windows on your psp with these directions on installing Mac OS X Tiger x86 on generic pc’s??

Hustle & CoverFlow

Back in ancient times, before the likes of electricity and the wheel, people played music on these things called records. CoverFlow brings back the experience of digging through your LP’s and finding the one you want by it’s album art. It’s currently a tech-demo, but is quite functional, and with a little polish this could be my favorite application of the year. There appears to be some troubles with it expiring soon (or already maybe?), but hopefully that will be cleared up soon.

MegaMan Effect

Dan Dickinson’s blog pointed out the MegaMan Effect. This little gem from the ADHOC/MacHack conference is a little Mac OS X app that runs in the backround, and anytime you launch an application you get a full MegaMan styled intro to that application complete with stars and music. Sure it’s just a novelty, but on slower macs that have a delay before launching applications anyways, you may as well have a song and dance first right?

Reader Submission Contest

Besk one is back bitches!! After getting robbed by some punk ass tricks and trick ass marks – I’ve begun replacing all the booty that got snatched from my pad.

Fresh out of the box, I’m posting from my new PowerMac G5 Dual 2.7Ghz, with two 250GB SATA Hard Drives, 2.5GB Ram, and a shiny new 23″ Cinema HD Display! (yes I’m now shit-ass poor, and yes I had to finance half, but hell… that’s what credits for right???)

So here’s the contest, since I lost all of my data, and all of my apps that were on the system that got nicked, I need suggestions for cool apps, utilities, widgets, desktop accessories etc… to populate what is at the moment a tragically baren wasteland of hard drives, lusting for creamy nuggets of digital wonderment and content galore.

Leave your suggestions in the comments, and I’ll pick my fav – the winner will get – well probably nothing, and possibly just a rant from me pointing out your shortcomings as a man/your mothers weight/or some other rude and/or crass comment – but it’ll be fun, you know you like it!

No seriously, the winner will get a front page entry on CapsGetPeeled.com with me doing a full review on the winning app, and giving you your 5 minutes of glorious westside representation

Peace bitches!

And the Schnozberries taste like Schnozberries!!!

Artist Alex Schweder has created some Scratch-and-sniff Wallpaper

“Still-life of Beefsteak and Cheese, 2004
Paper, Ink, & Scented Varnish; Each sheet 34″ x 21.5″
This line of wallpaper explores color and scent in relation to their construction of a “succulent” space. Set up as three sheets with the same striped pattern, different ratios of scented scratch n?sniff varnishes and colored inks allow a room to be more or less visually or olfactoraly intense but evenly delicious. The name of the wallpaper sets up an expectation of savory flavors in the color while the scent of donuts evokes an unseen sweetness.”

It’s called Beefsteak and Cheese, but it smells like donuts??? This is one step closer to Willy Wonka’s lickable wallpaper!

The Ultimate Beer Bong

Not many Beer Bongs have their own domain, and usually for good reason, but this multi-stage, multi-person, compressed air powered Beer Bong truely deserves it’s name: The Ultimate Beer Bong.

“My good friend, Billy Holder, and I created what we called ‘The Device’ some time ago. It was a successful over complication of a beer delivery funnel, also known as a ‘beer bong’. Sadly Billy moved out, and there was a deep loss felt from ‘The Device’ and such the incarnation of ‘The Device 2.0¨’. This was to be the biggest, most over complicated, most over engineered beer bong ever created. In fact it was to be such a spectacle it was to have it’s own documentry website, and thus you have read this, and it has been done.

The basic idea, simultaneously tap two beer sources being either a sankey Keg, or a 5-gallon party ball, push it with a replenishing air compressor to either a faucet, or up to a 4-gallon upper holding tank with four hoses leading off into four mouths racing to finish their hose.
Specs:
Media type: Keg / Partyball / Water / Air
PSI: Tank-120/First drop-30/BeerSwitch drop-12-14
Upper Tank: 4-gallon capacity with hoses / Activly intercooled via radiator and refidgerator based resevoir.
BeerSwitch: Able to redirect water, air, or beer from two sources into two faucets, up to the main tank, or all three at the same time. “
