DIY Animal Crossing remixes (no actual effort required)
If you like Animal Crossing music, you might already know about this awesome site by Brian Lee that will play the AC theme associated with the current time on your PC.
Here’s a beautiful discovery I made this afternoon: open the site in one browser tab, wait a bit, then open the site in a second tab. Instant AC remixes! The songs are sparse enough that the layered effect sounds interesting and not too densely populated with notes. (If the results sound cacophonous after 10 seconds of listening, refresh one of the tabs or drag one of the progress bars to a new spot.) When you get the two tracks just the right “distance” apart, they sound great together! This has been my programming soundtrack for the afternoon. <3 <3 <3

FEMICOM is a side-project that I quietly released on Friday. Thanks to prostheticknowledge and other folks on tumblr and twitter who have been sharing the site with others. I’m very happy and humbled that the idea behind this project resonates.
FEMICOM
New online resource project by Part Time! Hexcellent! [Tumblr Blog] that looks at the female characters that have appeared in the history of video games:
Though the FEMICOM site itself is quite new—(cue the advance apology for any broken links)—the idea behind it has been dear to me for quite some time. As a child of the 1990s, much of my play time was spent with that generation of video games and computers, whether at the mall’s arcade, in the school’s computer lab with its neat array of Macintoshes, or at cousins’ or friends’ houses where we marveled at the amazing graphics of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and DOOM. And aside from my early obsession with baseball and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I was also a girly-girl through and through, happy to play with Barbies and fairly insistent on wearing dresses at all times. As I grew older, I found that video game culture and girly culture rarely intersected. Yet, happily, there were places where the two worlds overlapped; these were my favorite play spaces in my teens and beyond.
FEMICOM is a portmanteau that combines the words feminine and computing. It is also a nod to the Japanese video game console called the Nintendo Famicom. FEMICOM is my attempt to document and preserve those special pockets of feminine tech, especially of the 20th century. Tamagotchis and Hello Kitty Game Boys are part of this space, as are web sozai, webrings, software skins, and electronic paper dolls, to name a few. By bringing these electronic artifacts together in a central archive, I hope to encourage comparisons among them and to ask and answer questions about stereotypical gender roles and how they have come to shape modern games and computing experiences. FEMICOM will catalog these items, which are often missing from other video game and software databases, so that they can be easily browsed or searched. Additionally, the site will feature game development resources, interviews, and other relevant content.
[Bold is my emphasis]
As I have said earlier, the site is in the early stages of content development, but you can check out here

Meeks did this meme that greg started, and I thought it was neat, so I whipped this up quickly!
It would be a show called “Grace the Teen Oni” & I would live with my Oni grand parents & wear clad outfits, & get into kooky adventures. They would always be like, “oh no! dear!” or “Is she going out like that?? why do you let her??!”.
And my skin would change color depending on what mood I am in..or the weather or something. Mmmhmm. It’d be a wonderful prime time show (that will get canceled after the first episode).
