The Gurdian’s contest of rewriting bits of HBP
[doiop.com/guardian]
In the HBP, a very important character dies. Now I won’t be telling you who that character is… although most of you would have finished the book already. For those who have read the book, check out this site for some good laughs.
The Guardian ran a cool contest recently in which you’d have to rewrite the death as another writer. How would Dickens deal with such a tragedy? How would it be described as a 17th century echo poem? The entries turned out to be awesome! Make sure you read the entries “Japanese style”, “Enid Blyton”, “The Sun”. I definitely recommend all the author’s versions too, but you’d need to know the authors to get the jokes.
Mugglenet.com and The-Leaky-Cauldron.org interviews JK Rowling
[doiop.com/JKpart1]
After each book release people from the media interviews JKR, but this time, she arranged interviews proper fans too. These interesting interviews mainly offer bits of facts and such and you might just want to check them out. But do so after you’ve read the HBP as spoilers are plentiful. At one point she agrees to write a book only on Dumbledore. Interesting.
The second and third parts of the interview: [doiop.com/JKpart2] and [doiop.com/JKpart3]
Short Film “MORE”
[doiop.com/more]
This beautiful short film was nominated for an Academy Award, so you know that it has to be good. It’s quite tough to describe this film, so I won’t be trying… but it’s worth downloading and watching. 9 MB.

Daily Deviation from DevianArt.com

DeviantArt is a wonderful place to browse through some fantastic art. But last time I checked, it had 13,892,615 pieces of artwork. With so much to view, it’s easy to get lost. The Daily Deviation section becomes useful here. It’s a section where
DOOM movie won’t suck?
[doiop.com/DOOMsucks]
The San Diego Comic-Con sounded like it was quite a blast. Among some of the game-related things that happened at the convention, some of the cast of the upcoming Doom movie were on-hand to defend, I mean answer questions about the upcoming film.
Gamecloud has an excellent write-up from the event. The feeling most seem to have coming away from the Q&A is that the movie won’t suck after all. Of course that is the point of events like this, but since they did show bits of the film I’m hoping there’s some truth to the rumors of non-sucktitude.
The movie will now take place on Mars instead of some unheard of planet, there will be at least one scene filmed in first-person shooter mode. I still think this will be yet another crap-fest, but I am now open to being completely wrong.
Alien Food Symbols
[doiop.com/AlienSymbols]
Those little gibberish symbols you find on stuff? Not gibberish— alien markers so our planet will be easier to use once the invasion really picks up steam. Website Stuff explores these signs all throughout our consumer universe. We always thought that being convinced our coffee was watching us was just nature’s way of telling us that we needed some very hard drugs. Turns out we’ve been taking those very hard drugs for no good reason.
A nice little game

This is a nice little game in which one guy will try to catch your cursor. Don’t let him!
GTA San Andreas: Music Extractor
[doiop.com/SAmusic]
The Grand Theft Auto series, arguably the best ever, certainly boasts having the best soundtracks. This nifty little tool (only 49 kb) will extract the soundtrack of the San Andreas to a commonly playable format (OGG, Winamp can play it). (When the page loads, scroll down and click on FREE. You’ll get the download link in the next page.)
I Hate Sweetie
[doiop.com/sweetie]
A quick CGI toon which serves as an ad for some cell phone something or other. Quality artwork, and a fine example of the proper principles of life. By this time you really should have started typing the link anyway.
