Carbonizer's Picks #1

Here's some cool sites I discovered recently that at least earn a place somewhere on Carbonizer...

New York Songlines: Imagine an annotated version of New York City, a combination between Wikimapia and Google Maps Streetview. Now imagine that all in HTML 1.0.

Porting Team: The Mac, its Intel core, and all are great, but there's still comparatively few games for it released through publishers. You could run WINE, Crossover, or DOSBox for these missing modern masterpieces, but that means mucking through preference files and all...a very un-Mac like way of doing things. Enter Porting Team, which makes empty wrappers (often modern games) based on a myriad of platforms (Cider, DOSBox, even some Amiga for the classics). Of course you'll have to supply your own copies of games, but it's still a great idea! I might just give SimCity 4 a spin on the Mac again (keep in mind that CIDER is still slower than a "real" PC, however)
