			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To be honest, I no longer use Facebook enough to see any bugs. I basically check in and check out, within 10 or 15 minutes or so each time and never leave an open tab. That being said, just like any website, Facebook has got some bugs. <a href="http://glitchr.tumblr.com/">Glitchr</a> is a project that turns common websites into digital art, filled with textual artifacts.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-80268" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/glitchr-digital-art_02.jpg" alt="glitchr digital art 02" width="600" height="381" title="glitchr digital art 02 photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-80266"></span>You&#8217;ve probably done something like this, whenever Windows used to freeze up, you could drag a window around and create these sort of patterns on your screen. Well, Lithuanian artist <a href="http://www.facebook.com/zakas">Laimonas Zakas</a>&#8216; Glitchr uses unicode characters to exploit certain programming bugs in popular sites such as Facebook.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-80267" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/glitchr-digital-art_01.jpg" alt="glitchr digital art 01" width="600" height="451" title="glitchr digital art 01 photo" /></p>
<p>While these glitches might seem harmless, some companies have already taken measures to ensure that their sites won&#8217;t be &#8220;glitchred&#8221;. For the time being, you can check out Glitchr on its <a href="http://www.facebook.com/glitchr">Facebook page</a> or its <a href="http://glitchr.tumblr.com/">Tumblr site</a>. No guarantee that the bugs won&#8217;t be fixed by the time you visit, though.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am still able to resist my destiny as a dragonborn, and hopefully I can hold out until the scary PS3 memory issue is fixed. But the Internet is draining my Anti-<em>Skyrim</em> field, as it&#8217;s riddled with all sorts of cool stuff about the game, like this funny glitch that lets your follower wield a powerful giant&#8217;s club.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-76058" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/skyrim-giants-club-easter-egg.jpg" alt="skyrim giants club easter egg" width="600" height="413" title="skyrim giants club easter egg photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-76057"></span>The trick was found by tricky YouTuber Trix. You can find the giant&#8217;s club – the weapon, I don&#8217;t know if there&#8217;s a disco or an association of large people in the game – in a nondescript camp in a mountain that&#8217;s located roughhly between Whiterun and Windhelm. The thing is, you can&#8217;t pick it up, but your follower can. Watch the video to see all sorts of living things being giant&#8217;s clubbed.</p>
<p><iframe width="620" height="379" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/T7NXLYBO7MQ?fs=1&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>In case you missed it, Trix mentioned something of note in the video. You can access the weapon early in the game, meaning you can have fun with it right away, but since the club&#8217;s damage rating scales up with your level, you&#8217;ll get a much stronger club if you wait until you&#8217;re a higher level before picking it up. Who knows, maybe at level 81 your follower will be able to send enemies <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDd65t62Gb0">flying through the air</a>.</p>

It seems like the wagon was a prototype though, and it&#8217;s modification was a bit&#8230;extreme:

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay, I know. Bug fixes aren&#8217;t the most exciting thing in the world, but bear with me on this one. There are a few essential <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/news/3187/">updates</a> to <em>Left 4 Dead 2 </em>on Steam, and if you&#8217;ve been victim to one of these glitches, you&#8217;re probably jumping for joy. The first thing fixed? Games that wouldn&#8217;t start. I hear actually <em>loading</em> is pretty useful.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23807" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/tb-lfd2bf.jpg" alt="tb lfd2bf" width="600" height="375" title="tb lfd2bf photo" /></p>
<p>Oh, not so exciting? Alright, try this: in some scenarios, AI team members lollygagged around instead of firing at Jockeys and Chargers. Definitely annoying. Ellis needs to wade in there with his shotgun and save my butt if I have a Jockey on my face. So that&#8217;s fixed. Jolly good.</p>
<p>And yeah, right, there was one other little detail, too&#8230; let me see, here&#8217;s the official release:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fixed bug where a burning witch could get into a state where she&#8217;s <em><strong>invincible</strong></em>.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>What?</em> Dudes, really: announce that one first. Seriously, everyone wants to burn the witch. We&#8217;re geeks, most of us; we love Monty Python and witch-burning hilarity is a sacred thing. If a burning, angry witch&#8211;already a formidable adversary&#8211;is <em>unkillable</em>, not only do I want that business fixed yesterday, but scream it from the roofops. HEY GUYS! You can totally kill those witches now. Sorry. <em>Our bad</em>.</p>
<p>Glad that&#8217;s settled.</p>
