Yes! The best Father’s Day gift ever conceived is still available, at least over the ‘net: Here’s my write-up from last year. And, yes, I still have two of the sets I bought at Wal-Mart, though I have (so far) resisted the temptation to cut off Luke’s hand on one of them. And just because […]
If, like me, you spend more time than you should browsing the web, check out alltop.com. Alltop aggregates all the top aggregators; so, for example, here are the sites and stories for programming while here are the sites and stories for movies.

…the Onion plays with all our minds: ‘Warcraft’ Sequel Lets Gamers Play A Character Playing ‘Warcraft’ Heh. ..bruce w..
I’ve seen earlier video snippets of the ‘Big Dog’ robot that Boston Dynamics has been working on, but this one is longer, more varied, and more unsettling: This device looks, sounds, and moves like the unnatural offspring of H.
