Wii-D!
A month or so ago I had seen a video of this guy’s finger-tracking project for the Wii Remote. It was nifty, but I didn’t think much more of it. Today, while reading Penny Arcade I saw that he had updated his site with new projects.

AT&T Internet Filtering
Joel Johnson of BoingBoing Gadgets visited The Hugh Thompson Show to talk about gadgets. This is a show that is sponsored exclusively by AT&T and distributed on their online Tech Channel. So what’s the first thing he does? He calls out AT&T on their idea/plan to filter all packets handled by their routers - basically […]

What is Cloverfield?
This past Friday I saw Cloverfield with a couple of friends, one of whom will post his own impressions of the movie as well I imagine. In advance, I apologize for the rambling format this mini-review will inevitably take, as I’m still trying to digest everything.
So how do I put this? In a word, the […]

double-u tee eff, mate
People have been asking when I am going to update next. The short answer is whenever I have time. The long answer is that what free time I do have for writing these days is spent on updating my write-up of our Forgotten Realms campaign - and even that is several sessions behind. I’m not […]

Canadian Atomic Veterans
During the early years of the Cold War, specifically between 1946 and 1958, about 900 Canadian soldiers were ordered to participate in “War Games” in the Nevada desert. These manœuvres involved the troops sitting in trenches while - a few thousand yards away - 60 kiloton nuclear warheads were detonated. A few moments later, the […]

Optimus Maximus
A friend of mine sent me a link to this video from the 2008 CES. You may have seen this already: it’s called the Optimus Maximus and we wants it.

twit
I’ve decided to give this twitter thing a try. I’m not really sure what to expect from it. I’m usually against things like this purely on principle. Consider it a lark which may or may not last. You can find a link to my twitters (twits?) up there.

More Hedge
Just a quickie: part 3 of Shadows of the Past is up here. It looks like the chapter might stretch out to 4 or even 5 parts, since I am ending up with more words than I had anticipated. I’m really enjoying writing these recaps for the exercise.

I Am Legend
I just came back from the local cinema where they were showing Will Smith’s latest flick: I Am Legend. The premise of the movie is such: In 2009, scientists discover what they believe is a viral cure for cancer. Several thousand people are cured, but it soon turns out that the virus has mutated into […]
