The Wii hackers have been at it again, this time creating a way to make an play custom tracks on Mario Kart for the Wii.

Its not as straight forward as downloading some DLC, you have to download an ISO of the game, then patch it with the files they provide, but then you can be playing some brand new tracks created by people on the web.

As well at this, they have released an editor so that you can create your own tracks as well.

For someone who has played the game to death, and often sits down to play though all 32 tracks on the game, I cant wait to try this out.

you can find all the info, links, and files you will need here: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=208230

I will post and update letting you guys know what its like once I have tried it, in the mean time, anyone that has given this a wirl, post a comment and let us know what its like!

Today I received an email entitled "What to do when your bored - at home NOT at work....", the instructions on the email were...

1. Kill a few flies
2. Put them in the sun to dry out for an hour
3. Once dry, pick up a pencil and paper... Let your imagination flow.

Then they gave examples, which you can see in my Dead Fly Fun Gallery.

Some of these were really good!!! if anyone gives it a go, send me your photos and I shall add them to the gallery.

This song is damm catchy!!!

HipHop for PHP is being developed by the people over at FaceBook, the idea behind it is you can compile PHP into optimised C++, the idea being to make things run much quicker

It sounds like it could be quite an interesting project though, and worth a look at for anyone that does a lot of work with PHP

With Formula 1 Season fast approaching, the first race is scheduled for the 14th of March (Pi Day), you need the right kind of chair to be in for those long races, and I think this one would be perfect!

Its only a concept at the moment, but you can read more about it on Gizmodo.com
