Sorry for the lack of updates lately, been working on a new project and it’s consumed a lot of time. But fear not, it’s really cool and I should be able to talk about it very soon.
However the podcast may have to continue to take a breather as we see how this new project affects my schedule over time.
Do you have an idea for a project you’d like to see me build? Well now’s your chance as we’re taking submissions / ideas for a group of projects this summer / early fall! Here’s how it works:
More details to come… stay tuned to www.benheck.com and my Twitter to keep in the loop.

Argh! They’re just taunting me with all the 360 Slims sitting around doing nothing! Unfair! Cruel!
I know what you’re thinking. “Why didn’t you buy one already? Didn’t you get a PS3 Slim before Best Buy even put them out on the floor?” Yes, true. But ironically, I was at E3 all last week and by time I got home, they were sold out. Security at E3 let me pick one up and look at the bottom, but that was about it.
So now I’m looking for one, very interested in analyzing it to see if I can make a cheaper / better Xbox 360 laptop, or Pelican unit for use by troops overseas.
Thanks to Bradley Metrock for digging one up for me! He’ll have first crack at whatever I build with it…. 🙂
Just a quick note, if you’re in the Boston area next week you should consider joining the Games for Health Conference 2010.
It’s an amazing event where industry professionals, health advocates and researchers get together to discuss how gaming can help with the health and rehabilitation of people. Accessibility is also discussed and I’ll be taking part in a workshop to come up with new ideas in that field.
Check out their website here, and we’ll see you there!
Making a PS3 laptop really wasn’t an “uncharted” course for me.
Here it is, a new PS3 Slim laptop and this time it’s black! With blue accents. Specs:
You can check out more pictures and video below. Remember, if you have a crazy idea and the money, I can make the time!

Hard to believe it’s been 10 years since I completed my first portable the VCSp but it’s true. Many things have happened since then, including the Xbox 360 laptop, Commodore 64 portable and of course, Possumus Woman.
In honor of this momentous occasion I’ve prepared some fun stuff for our visitors to enjoy:
The Atari 2600 Portables Site – Explore the site as it appeared back in the olden days. Most of the navigation works, so have fun!
VCSp Making Of – The very first story about portables I ever published to the web
SNESp Making Of – A classic, completely overdone ‘making of’ from 2001.
Plus you can check out a bunch of classic Benheck videos after the break. Enjoy…
