8 Bit Music

Are you an 80s child who grew up loving computer games like Goonies and Super Mario? Or were you a Game Boy slave in the 90s? If yes then you'd probably have a place in your heart for 8 Bit Music, otherwise known as chipstyle sounds. Can't figure out what I'm talking about? I couldn't embed the song file here but you can click here to listen to the music sampler. Prepare to be taken back to the good old days...

The song is produced by Random, and you can view his artist profile by clicking here. He is one of the 11 crew of this cool website 8BitPeoples, where their ultimate goal is to "just have fun".

According to the website:

"The 8bitpeoples first came together in 1999 as a collective of artists sharing a common love for classic videogames and an approach to music which reflected this obsession. Our primary interests were to provide quality music for free and most importantly to have fun."

But then you've got to see it to believe it. So go check the site.

Random also has his own website so don't forget to check it out: Random.se

Random's music sampler hosted at 8BitCollective. If you go to the site, you'd be surprised at the large number of music submissions. Darn, I can't believe I almost missed out on this really cool website.

The Difference Between Poor And Broke

I came across this quotable quote while aimlessly hopping from one link to another:

Poor is a state of mind.

Broke is a state of wallet.

You can fix being broke;

It's not so easy to fix being poor.

Whoa.

I have no idea if these words came from Joe Heerdink of his I Am Broke website, but it does make a point. His website, which was born out of a random joke, doesn't have much to offer, but it is a nice easter egg in the interweb. (And you all thought it was about how-to-make-your-first-million-stash)

So how did I end up in Heerdink's site? I couldn't trace it back, but I feel like it had something to do with me looking up about the word "broke".

How relevant. :)

Kentucky Fried Field!

Oh yes you read that right!

You're looking at what could be the biggest Kentucky Fried Chicken logo EVER in this planet. Hmmm...so when you're bored and just messing up with your Google Earth application, you might as well hunt for this logo. Similar to playing the Where's Waldo game--only this time you have to look for Colonel Sander's smiling face.

Image aggregated here at Likecool.com. It doesn't have much info about the field, but whatever it took to create this huge logo has to have involved massive amounts of somethin'-somethin'. If it was done through Photoshop, then darn good was the output! :)
