A New Captain America

// October 12th, 2007 // 2 Comments » // Fun Whatnot

New Captain America CostumeCaptain America may have been gunned down at the end of Marvel’s Civil War killing Steve Rogers, but the ideal that Cap stood for carries on. With this in mind someone new dons the costume and persona of Captain America starting in January. With a new Cap’ comes a new costume designed by near legendary comic artist Alex Ross. There is a great deal of speculation about who may be taking on the mantle, I’m certainly curious read Ed Brubaker’s upcoming storyline.

If you want more detail on the hows and whys, the Marvel article on this is fantastic.

Fiddler – Must Have for IE Development

// October 9th, 2007 // 3 Comments » // Technology Bits

If you do any web development for Internet Explorer, Fiddler is a must have application. Basically this is semi-equivalent to Firebug’s “Net tab”. If you have been using IE Developer Toolbar, this was a huge missing piece that can now be filled in.

Explanation of what it is from their site:

Fiddler is a Web Debugging Proxy which logs all HTTP(S) traffic between your computer and the Internet. Fiddler allows you to inspect all HTTP(S) traffic, set breakpoints, and “fiddle” with incoming or outgoing data. Fiddler includes a powerful event-based scripting subsystem, and can be extended using any .NET language.

Fiddler is freeware and can debug traffic from virtually any application, including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and thousands more.

You should also check out the video tutorial.

Iron Man Teaser Poster Whoever is doing the art for these posters is just plain awesome.

Here’s hoping the movie is equally intriguing visually.

We’ll see when Iron Man hits theaters on May 2nd, 2008.

Wii Remote Jackets

In response to continued complaints about idiotic damage resulting from misusing your wii-motes… Nintendo is now packaging a jacket with all new purchases. For anyone who purchased prior to this inclusion, Nintendo is offering to send jackets out similar to the strap replacement they did months ago.

From Nintendo:

Nintendo is now including the Wii Remote Jacket for the Wii Remotes in all new hardware being shipped. For Wii owners who purchased their systems prior to this addition, we are offering to send free Wii Remote Jackets for their existing Wii Remotes. If you would like to request a Wii Remote Jacket, please start by completing the information form below.

They look a bit fugly, but I just ordered mine…
