The shots are cool. Very detailed. I really like it.
mindless overall Mumbo Jumbo
I am that guy with the funny name.
In my first life I was a professional photographer. In my second life I started a multimedia studio. That studio began life by producing Flash Games and turned into Software company over the years.
My drive to make art continues with focus of producing my own tools with code. Along the journey others have jumped on to use these tools also. Where will this journey take us, no one knows. I do at least intend to enjoy the ride of finding out.

Machinarium
via youtube.com
This is the best independent developer made game I've ever seen or played.
Machinarium is a puzzle / adventure game. The puzzles are a real challenge. The overall feel of the whole game is the same feeling I had when Myst was first released back in the early 1990's. I personally put this in the top 10 games ever played, It worth getting and playing. This game is can't miss for anyone that every enjoyed a great puzzle game.
The demo and full versions can be found here for mac @ http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-MACHINMAC/machinarium-mac
and for windows @ http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-MACHIN/machinarium
Machinarium is really worth the time to try out, seriously go get it.

Cross Country Trip on Brammo Electric motorcycles for just $5.00
Two Brammo Enertia 100% electric motorcycles. Take a cross Country Tour Across America on just $5.00 each bike. That less than the cost of 1.2 gallons of gas.
The Brammo Enertia does not look like a plug in the wall electric bike, It looks like a like a gas powered motor cycle.
These two guys are traveling across the country. Charging there bikes where any one will give the 30 cent full charge. They have documented there journey with a website , tweeter and with many youtube videos.
More on the Brammo Enertia; The Battery Pack is a Lithium Iron Phosphate. With a life cycle of 2,000 charges. (In an average city setting use. that about 6-8 years worth of charges.) The Battery pack can be replaced. The Top speed on the current street bike is 60 mph /95+ KPH
They also make a higher performance bike that is currently not for sale. that hits 80 plus mph. Average range per charge is 42 miles / 68 kilometers. The Bike a little pricey currently @ $11,995.00 USD. That price is mostly for the batteries, so when battery price lowers the overall bike should also lower in price a little more. (If you consider It is costing only $5 USD to drive across the country that price, for the bike not that bad. )
Also note; You can get a goverment rebate for buying such a vehicle. Which will lower the cost by more. Each state varies in the tax credit amount you can save. (I see it is $3,500.00 in my state so this bike would cost me $8,495.00 after the tax credit. Cheaper than a new 2010 Harley Sportster.)
As Motorcycles go, the Brammo Enertia has no tailpipe or clutch. It is also silent. (no noise.) The no clutch has to be a odd feeling if you ride gas bikes, but that also means anyone could drive this.
BRAMMO Enertia power cycle, was formed in 2002 by Craig Bramscher. BRAMMO is headquartered in Ashland, Oregon - US

Can not wait to get my hands on this.
via apple.com
This is the coolest thing I've seen in a while. A multi-touch mouse.
The mouse is like the gateway to doing anything with a computer. For years I would chuck the apple included mouse in the trash for having only one button and buy a logitech multi-button, with wheel.
Then The Big A introduced the mighty mouse, Witch was even worse than the one button mouse. the tiny little ball on the top would work 25% of the time, had buttons on the side, where is the natural place people rest there thumb and pinky finger. That triggered many unwanted things to happen.
The multi touch functionality is proven to work in the trackpads, iPhone and iPod touch and works very well. Adding that same functionality to a mouse is pure genius. The best part is now left handed people can set up the mouse to work in the opposite direction. I know one left handed person that just ecstatic that finally some mouse has made it to the market that will work for them, In the same way it works for righties.
Great design of adding a better and faster workflow to the desktop. Can not wait to get my hands on this. I am hardly ever excited by some piece of hardware, like this. But after using multi touch this seems to make prefect since.
Great video here on the magic mouse (mid bottom, of page) : http://www.apple.com/magicmouse/

New Unity 2.5 is out!
via unity3d.com
Unity3D game development tool (the best in my book over anything else) is shipping version 2.5 The biggest new feature is now it works from windows as well. So that will add a whole lot more developers who did not buy a mac just to use unity. (and there are many that did, so you can see how good it most be , if people switch to a mac just to use unity) The 2.5 also has an all new interface to help make it even easier than before. It was already so easy to use. 3ds max importing is now supported. no more converting first.
They added a license change This is a big one. The indy licensing can now deploy to all platforms (aka windows, which before was a pro only feature) There a long list of improvements, and bug fixes.
This is hands down the best game tool on the market. I've tried all the others in the under $3000.00 licensing fee and Torque, blitz, C4 even the free open source jobbers come no where near the quality as this one does. It got a prefect workflow, and with the iPhone plug in (torque iPhone plug-in is a rip off), there really no other tool that come close in this price range, In over all quality of what can be done, and how simple it is to code a game. It is worth buying into if you make money building games.
Check it ll out here. @ http://unity3d.com/unity/whats-new/unity-2.5
