Check out this handy dandy little keypad. Seems as though it could take some time but someone will some day set a world record on how fast they can type on a PS3 wireless keypad. Picture included so you don't have to imagine what it will look like. By the way, it's subject to change of course.

Playstation Store Update

Time to turn on that PS3 and check out the latest store updates. I don't see too much that I'm interested in but Ratchet and Clank have always been good. I haven't actually looked at everything but it seems they're doing some good work over there.

Happy downloading.

This would be a great expereience I think and to all of you who will make it - enjoy. The rest of us will be catching up soon.

Talkman Travel is basically a digital translator in your pocket for those of you traveling to Tokyo, Paris or Rome. It has 150 pre-selected phrases that i suppose are common for you travelers. Sentences such as “Where is the tourist information desk?” or “Where is this restaurant?” or even “Where is the restroom?” You can have them translated into their respective languages at the push of a button as well as audio.

It even has built-in pick-up lines

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune Trophy Support

A patch has been released for trophy support allowing users to gain 48 trophies that includes a platinum trophy. Gold is so 80's anyways.

Here is a bit from the PS blog:

"One thing everyone should note, as our co-president Evan Wells told Joystiq during E3, is that we weren’t able to award Trophies retroactively through this patch. This was done so that everyone receives their Trophies fairly and can’t take advantage of the game saves we’ve seen floating

PS3 at the Lollapalooza Music Festival

Those of you fortunate enough to attend get your game face on because it looks like you're going to get to play LittleBigPlanet. If I were able to attend I would just to try and play this title. You have to admit it looks pretty damn cool.

CSS Framework

Maybe I don't get out much anymore (on the Internet that is) and maybe you already know this but there is a CSS framework called Blueprint that you can find on Google code.

I haven't used it personally but when I find the time to read up on it I may. It seems like it could really be helpful for those doing a lot of CSS coding by cutting down your dev time.

New Way To Search

There is a new search engine on the block and it's called Cuil - pronounced "cool". It's ran by former Google employees one of which sold her search engine a while back to Google. I guess you'll have to keep checking back to see when they're ready for you to input some data.

Playstation Network Video Delivery

Josh — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 22:36:00 +0000

I was reading up on the Playstation Networks video service and they're going to offer 300 titles to choose from plus television content! I'm actually being a little sarcastic because I previously wrote an entry about the new Xbox video service with Netflix coming this fall where you'll be able to choose from over 10,000 titles. God Sony WTF already?

Seriously, can you really not find a way to offer more titles and could you please start delivering on new services!
