The end of console gaming may be near. To me, I've never quite understood how a $300 game console can outperform a $1,500 PC with a $300 video card. I'm looking forward to the end of the console wars.

In the mobile world, you can now wear a video camera on a headset. But even more intriguing, there's a throat mic that's coming out. It may be more complicated, but such a system should allow for a fully in-ear speaker which I'd prefer to the current boom mic setups.

I used to build model trains. Which makes this nearly 12,000 square foot model in Hamburg, Germany even more captivating.

Finally, a friend sent me this wonderful short story on crushes.
