The F-14 Tomcat has flown its final combat mission.

This makes me recall the same feelings I had when I heard that the last battleship had been decommissioned. Maybe it is my military-brat background, but all those military machines were something I loved when I was younger when I dreamed of being a fighter pilot.

Years pass and dreams change, but it still is sad to see these grey beasts lie down.

Recreating old console game scenes with LEGOs.

Pure genius.

I have to admit, when I first heard about electronic paper, I was kinda “blah, who cares” about it. All I wanted was a bigger faster sharper LCD on my laptop. But now that I see these devices that are about to come out, along with the neat features of constant display and low power consumption, I think I’m sold. We all know the reason reading books on our computers never took off is because it really isn’t as pleasant an experience as curling up with a book or newspaper. Now I think we are coming close enough to that comfort to make the jump. And we get a few unexpected products in the mix as well.

Creepy but fascinating evolution of a parasite wasp that literally does brain surgery on roaches to turn them into zombies. It then rides the roach by controlling the roaches antennas, and turns it into a living host for its offspring.

New details popping up about Diablo III. Last week I was pointed to their employment site, where they are suddenly looking for alot of artists and programmers to “work with the team responsible for Diablo II”.

Now, I see that more details are being leaked, possibly on purpose.

I know alot of people complained that Diablo was just a hack-and-slash, but really, that’s all we wanted it to be, and it is the best hack-n-slash ever made. Diablo II was alot of fun, too. I mainly loved the atmosphere, and if this turns into a MMORPG or a large scale world (think Morrowind), that would be stupendacular!

Diablo 3 takes place in heaven. Hell is trying to take it over and it is AWESOME looking Imagine the brightness of heaven being taken over by the darkness of hell Imagine WoW but in a Diablo world in amount of size and playability Also, guild housing is available in this game for those of you who know about it. They should have a gameplay demo to show at BlizzCon.
