Regulus 2.3 theme update
Finally – an update to Regulus. The updates are coming further and further apart, and this is simply because the theme does everything I set out to do… and quite a bit more. This version is mostly bug fixes but there are a couple of nice new features.

Steven Poole, a journalist from the UK, is someones whos insight into games has always intrigued me. I used to be a regular reader of Edge magazine, a UK gaming journal that catered for the more mature gamer. Edge tended to steer away from the childish stereotypes and over the top-ness of many gaming magazines, instead they tended to have more insightful features and reviews, never fearing to be honest – in a critical way. Occasionally they were rather ...
Minority Report a reality?
Q. What do you get if you cross a Nintendo Wii, with an LED array? A. A scene from Minority Report… in your own home.
There’s not much to write about here – it’s all explained in the video below.
I would love to have something like this on the Wii for real. I’m surprised they managed to get two points, multi input, working as well. I’d have thought that ...

Websites versus Blogs
Whilst working on my update to Binary Moon I’ve been thinking about the differences between websites and blogs. One of the things I am trying to do with the updated design is steer slightly away from the stereotypical blog layout and use lessons learnt from more traditional website design.
Since blogs first came about the designs have evolved considerably but the basic structure seems to remain the same. You have article pages (the blog posts), normal pages ...
Portal Papercraft
This is equal parts cute, cool, and awesome.
The latest game from Valve, Portal, involves a clever device that let’s you create portals to travel from one place to another.
This awesome papercraft replicates the wonderful game. I love the simplicity (something I am a big fan of in general), the colours, the design – the lot.
Unlike most papercraft it’s even something I could do myself.
Check out the original Portal, papercraft post on Blogspot.
Scientists, Tesla coils, and Super Mario
This is a major geek out but it combines science and video games. I have no idea how they did this buy I am incredibly impressed.
Thanks to Tranism from Electroplankton for the heads up.
His Dark Materials
In the trailers before Stardust we saw the trailer for the Golden Compass (known to Brits as Northern Lights), the (first?) movie of the first book from the ‘His Dark Materials’ trilogy by Philip Pullman.
I was already quite interested in the film, and finding out that Weta (think Lord of the Rings trilogy) are doing the special effects makes me even more so.
The comments on the ...
