Here's a Fireviewer PDB file suitable for use in any Fireviewer-compatible Palm image viewer, or for use as a background image in Backdrop GC
rapture took the Master Chief from Stuntmutt's One One Se7en and put him on his Sony Ericsson cell phone, inspiring us to make a similar image from Halo art with our Handspring Treo:
[image:6845 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]rapture cooked up a neat wallpaper for his Sony Ericsson mobile phone, featuring the Master Chief as drawn by Stuntmutt in One One Se7en.
With a slightly bigger screen than an average cellphone, you can view Halo pictures like this on the go. This was created using SplashPhoto, a Mac and Palm-based image gallery system.
With apps like Graphic Converter and Backdrop GC (not pictured) you can make a file like this into a Fireviewer-compatible .pdb file and use it as a background image on a Palm if it has Palm OS 3.5 or greater.
The new Halo Babies site was made possible by donations from the shadow government... I mean, from loyal fans of the comic. The site has now opened a special area dedicated to them in the forum.
Devin Olsen has put up a modification of the Blood Gulch level for PC Halo; it features several new base areas, some floating midair, and constructed out of logs. There's a post in the HBO forum where you can get the download details (and a server address where they'll be playing it), and another where you can view some screenshots.
Poop Scoop writes in his blog that he's just finished turning Enough Dead Heroes into written sheet music, arranged for a string orchestra, and invites you to send him a message (free registration required) if you're interested in getting a copy. Or you can post a comment on his blog.
TCLN-Zenn has written a piece on Team Killing in Halo at BGH; it seems to be one of their favorite topics of late. This one is after the new anti-TK features in the 1.03 release.
I think he's on-point on part, but off the mark elsewhere; a full response is in Problem Is Between Chair And Keyboard, the latest of Narc's Retorts.
This isn't new news, but it is something that's gotten stuck in my craw a bit, so I thought I'd go ahead and post about it anyway.

I've transcribed the sheet music for 'Enough Dead Heroes' for a string orchestra, and am well on my way to finishing the halo theme. if anyone wants copies, just post on the blog, or contact me at the personal messaging thing (never used it, so it might be best to just post ur e-mail adress or somewhere where i can send u jpegs of the music) GO HALO!!!!!!!!!!
PfhorSlayer let us know that work on version two of Aquaduct, the Mac OS X Xbox tunneller, is still ongoing:
Things are progressing very well, and we are gearing up for some internal testing and hopefully release in the not-too-far future.
Aquaduct can now tunnel games between Xbox users who have a Mac running Aquaduct and Windows users who have Xbox Connect; word is it will "probably" be out before Halo 2. Let's hope so.
A few bugs in the 3.0 release needed fixing, so now there's SparkEdit 3.01. Don't spend the .01 all in one place, guys, and check HaloMods for the latest version. There's also a promotional video for the program.
The latest giveaway, according to Steve at Cortana.org is a Cortana figure, part of Wave 1 and very rare. Check Cortana.org for details.
