Wallpaper Watchface
Wallpaper Watchface
For Android Pebble users, Canvas for Pebble makes plenty of information available to your watchfaces. It’s hard to display much information on such a small screen and still look nice. For Wallpaper Watchface, the time is still large and in charge, and the other two lines are stuffed with so much small text and icons that the screen takes about 20 seconds to load. Missed calls and unread messages make new notifications appear on top of the large wallpaper image. Replace that Pebble Beach wallpaper with any graphic you want from your phone.
Wallpaper Watchface was built on Canvas for Pebble v2.0.6 beta which requires Pebble firmware 2.0 beta 5. If you have that stuff installed, click the links below on your phone to install the appropriate screen on your Pebble.

It's tricky to photograph e-ink displays indoors, let alone time the shot to the second... Ick, this preview looks ugly. This is why I took a photo of the watch itself.

Oddheader – 100 Things You Didn't Notice in Tony Hawk Games
In the PlayStation 2 era, I spent thousands of hours playing the Tony Hawk games online and making levels and videos. We’d get out of bounds and explore behind the scenes, and sometimes find the developers left some easter eggs for us. Oddheader has compiled the community’s findings into one epic 24-minute video that takes us through Neversoft’s entire run with the series.
The transition from WordPress to Tumblr is about 75% complete. 108 WordPress posts became 120 Tumblr posts (20 are Tumblr reblogs). I lose the mouseover text on images, Twitter embeds, and email updates, but most things work and I’ve fixed about a dozen broken links.

Shuey's Perfect Clear Study (Phase 2 - Sparta!)
A clean matrix is a happy matrix. In multiplayer Tetris, if you can perfectly clear all the blocks from your screen, it sends your opponent half a screen of garbage. Tetris art guru Shuey shows us that it’s possible to perfect clear with your first ten tetriminos every time. With clever usage of twists, the hold piece, and strategy, you can do it too!

Here Comes a New Challenger!
I don't update my web site or my Facebook enough, so I'm starting this WordPress blog. Unlike my old blog, this one is mostly pictures and videos from the Internet and not much text. Unlike the Bakamo Studios site, I plan to put up new really short, informal posts about 2-5 times a week.

(I’m re-posting the entire content of my old WordPress blog to Tumblr, for about 170 posts, starting with this post. This will make all of my old content searchable here, and I think I’m going to have all of the WordPress single post pages meta redirect to Tumblr posts. This behavior might change later, we’ll see.)
Ohio State Marching Band – Hollywood Blockbusters
The Ohio State University football team has a 20 game winning streak and is still somehow only 4th in the polls. One thing’s for sure, though. We have the Best Damn Band in the Land.
One of these days, I’ll have to dig up some videos from my band days at Westerville North. Band was awesome.

Canvas for Pebble
UPDATE: I made another Canvas screen called Wallpaper Watchface. Go get that one instead. It’s better.
Wearable devices are the next big thing in tech. I’ve jumped on the bandwagon with a Pebble, and I want to develop for it. On Android, Canvas for Pebble lets you quickly make watchfaces that nicely display the time, date, weather, and your phone’s unread message and missed call counts. I took a few hours and made a watchface I like that displays seconds, and you can have it too.
If you want to try on the Dr. Mo Day 1 watchface, you’ll need a Pebble running firmware 2.0 beta and Canvas for Pebble 2.0 beta. These should still work when Pebble 2.0 and Canvas for Pebble 2.0 are released. Once that’s installed, visit this post on your phone and click the version you want below.

Ever notice how almost every watch ad has the time set to 10:10? Analog watches look better that way, but I'm not so sure about digital watches. It's a lot harder to fake the time on a cell phone.

Retro Core Mega Drive Audio Showcase
I've been following Retro Core for 15 years from its original video game reviews to its recent videos about ports of games and the Chinese knock offs that play them. He's tired of people dissing the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive's sound chip, so he brought several examples of clean instruments and heavy bass. There's more Mega Drive music and a couple Super Nintendo ones where that came from.

Anamanaguchi – Another Winter
30-Day Video Game Music Challenge (Super Hard Mode) Day 24: Music you constantly have stuck in your head From Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game (PS3, August 10, 2010)
Happy 10th anniversary! We want to buy this precious little beat-’em-up, but it’s been delisted since 2014. This Anamanaguchi soundtrack is all we have left of it.
Update: Scott Pilgrim collected a 1up and is getting another digital release in 2020. I hope we get a physical release too. I don't want to lose this again.
