Delta Strike - Next Gen Browser Flash Game

This one looks really nice.  As a weapon you can create black holes that enemies have to battle with during the conflict.  I tried to download a demo and got shut down.  Delta Strike told me that the demo was too awesome for my browser.  That was a first…  

This is going to be off the hook:

The Inkling digital sketch pen captures a digital likeness of your work while you sketch with its ballpoint tip on any sketchbook or standard piece of paper. Designed for rough concepting and creative brainstorming, Inkling is ideal for the front end of the creative process. Later, refine your work on your computer using an Intuos4 tablet or Cintiq interactive pen display.

In addition to capturing your sketch, stroke by stroke, Inkling allows you to create layers in digital files while you sketch on paper. Digital files are transferred to your computer using the Inkling Sketch Manager software, and later, exported to applications such as Adobe® Photoshop® and Illustrator®. Files can also be opened with the included Inkling Sketch Manager software to edit, delete, add layers or change file formats.

NASA has just released a game called “Moonbase Alpha” on Steam.  This is interesting because it’s not a common third person shooter (infamous), but instead a third person infrastructure building real time strategy.  All of the missions are to construct and maintain the US moonbase with a group of peers from the online community.  That’s it.  No aliens, evil robots, or devilish moon demons to deal with.  NASA has developed the game and you get to interact with accurate virtual futuristic technology without having to travel to Florida or go to space camp.  A wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

I would love one of these…  I could finally beat LA traffic jams!  Cheers to the future and inverted helicopter landings.

This small, four-rotor helicopter, or quadrotor, from the Grasp Lab at the University of Pennsylvania flies like nothing I’ve ever seen before. It maneuvers like a hummingbird in a blur of rapid, controlled precision. I feel like I’ve seen this kind of flight take place in a science fiction movie, but I can’t remember which one. Certainly this type of flight is in our future. With such deft maneuverability, a quadrotor like this one would be highly desirable for navigating quickly through congested areas, forests or shattered buildings. And its ability to perch vertically on walls — or even upside down! — is absolutely remarkable.
