Shinoda iGoogle Theme

January 29, 2010

I started using iGoogle a few months ago, and I think it’s great.  It’s a customizable home page, where you can just get the updates you want to get when you open your computer, like CNN top news, Facebook, Twitter, or Youtube top videos.  You also customize the “look” of your page.  They’ve got Michael Kors, Radiohead, Paul Frank, Dave Matthews Band, Shepard Fairey, and many others…well, iGoogle has a new theme available that I thought some of you might like to use…the MIKE SHINODA GLORIOUS EXCESS theme.  Go here to see or use it:

Enjoy.

8 Bit Rebellion-On The Way

January 26, 2010

A quick “8 BIT REBELLION” update.  Our new game, available for the iPhone and iPod touch, will be out soon.  We’ve pushed the release back a few weeks because we’re testing the game.  In fact, I’m playing the game right now, making sure everything looks good.  So far, there are still some minor changes to make…and I’m taking notes.  We don’t want to release it until all we’ve addressed as many issues as we can!

Also, many of you have asked about the game being available for other platforms, since you don’t all have iPods (although Steve Jobs is hoping you will reconsider, ha).  We’re hoping to get it out for other mobile platforms after it debuts with Apple.  No word on that yet; it may take a while.  For now, it will only be available on iPod and iPod touch.

Lastly, let there be no confusion: the song we released for DOWNLOAD TO DONATE is not the same song as the one on the game.  The song on the game is ANOTHER brand new Linkin Park song.

New LINKINPARK.COM

January 26, 2010

For the past few weeks, we’ve been beta testing the new website (thank you, LPUnderground). With all the major bugs out of the way, we decided to open the doors to the world.

Check it out here http://linkinpark.com/.  NOTE: all accounts need to be confirmed; If you had an LPN account, you will need to sign in to reset your account on the new site–make sure to do this soon, so you don’t lose your account / name!  There are a handful of new features for your personal pages as well, so take a minute to browse through those.

Also, make sure to find the 8 BIT REBELLION page, which talks about the new Linkin Park game, coming soon.

If you have any great ideas about how we can improve the site, you can tell us about it here, under FANS > FORUM.

Enjoy!

New MikeShinoda.com changes

January 25, 2010

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I’m working on some changes to the site.  As you can see, the videos, photos, and art are not up yet.  The team is working on those.  Also, they are going to change the comments section back to 700 character limit, and limit one comment per person.  As usual, I generally only respond to thoughtful, positive comments, and all spam and negative comments are ignored.  The system isn’t perfect yet, but they’re working on it.

As for me, I’m in the studio today, working on some new lyrics / music.

…And before I go: don’t forget to put the DOWNLOAD TO DONATE widget on your Facebook, blog, or website!  Spread the word, and let’s keep the help flowing to Haiti.

Prince William and Linkin Park

January 22, 2010

First the Russian president…now Prince William:

From January 20th piece in Australia’s 7News: “In a general discussion of musical tastes, Mr Rudd asked Prince William what music he liked. The prince replied: ‘Mine’s very varied – I like rock, Linkin Park … Kanye West’.”
