Easter Eggs

Site of the Week , dvd, easter, eggs, software

An Easter Egg is a brightly colored egg that you hide in your backyard for your kids to find or to attract Bears. Hopefully not the latter - unless you live in Chicago and want Brian Urlacher in your backyard tackling you kids.

Anyway, Easter Eggs on DVD’s or Video games are little tricks you can do to find hidden content. They’re not always brightly colored, or even taste like candy or eggs, but they sometimes hold some cool content you can watch to feel like you were part of the making of a movie, or an extra level in a game.

http://www.eeggs.com/ is a great place to start to find out the best eggs. http://www.eggheaven.com/ is another great site that gives you the secrets.

For John Kovalic, Dork is everything. A Native of Wisconsin, John was born in England. he went to the University of Wisconsin for some other dorky stuff that is a whole other subject. Kovalic worked for the Daily Cardnal, a UW rag. That started Wild Life, in which Johns’ work took him to the local newspaper.

Kovalic was part of some great things, such as Whad’Ya Know? a Trivia game based on the radio show, and illustrated “Apples to Apples”. Dork Tower is a comic that started in 96 after a trip to GenCon. John used “Carson the Muskrat”, a character from his ”Wild Life” strip to build the cast around. Carson was a gamer so everything fell into place.

Check out the site here. To be extra dorky, you should buy his earlier work. It’s up on ebay.

One Cold Hand, one lost shoe

I hate it when I loose gloves. I have a pair that I love, and now one is missing. My hands will never be warm again.

I really hate it when I lose shoes. One foot cold, one foot comfy. And it’s not like I can alternate feet on this.

Well, not to feer, cause One Cold Hand and Lost Shoe Diaries are here. They are the retrievers of lost hand and foot paraphanalia. Hundreds of sad gloves and footwear looking to reunite with their soulmate. It’s a tragic story, but sometimes they come to success like a tear jerker. Maybe they need some type of reunited theme music?

Anyway, Check out the websites found at http://www.onecoldhand.com/. and http://lostshoediaries.com.
