January 8, 2014: Martian Water

NASA scientists have discovered evidence of what they think might be the presence of water on Mars. This, of course, has all sorts of implications about the presence of Martian life. Go back and read that again; Martian life doesn't seem as improbable as it once did. We may, sometime within our lifetimes, encounter an extraterrestrial organism.



There is a problem that prevents us from just going in and investigating, though. Interplanetary contamination is a big concern: not that Mars might infect us, but that we might infect whatever we're investigating with our Earth germs. In addition to the well-documented results of such a thing, sending in investigative equipment that hasn't been carefully sterilized could end up producing all sorts of inaccurate results. So, for now, we wait.

Warehouse 23 News: What Will You Find In The Land Of The Overpower?



Nyambe is a vast land of exotic creatures and wide expanses, where ancestral orishas cry for brave warriors to carve out the hearts of foul mchawi wizards, and where dragon-blooded sei sorcerers once joined the fierce Amazons of Nibomay in the bloody Rebelling Time to win their freedom.

January 6, 2014: Lenny And Brian At ChupacabraCon

Back when it was being Kickstarted, we supported ChupacabraCon. We like having cons in our back yard, and we wanted to make it happen.

Lenny and I will be going to the con to play and run games, talk to people, and generally have a good time.

January 3, 2014: Advanced Motion Tracking

A research team at MIT has developed a system called WiTrack, which can track movements and gestures through walls and other obstructions. Set one up in your living room and it has the capability to track your movements throughout your apartment, regardless of the intervening obstacles. This has applications for video games and emergency care of course, but it could also be used for more nefarious purposes. I mean, uh, nevermind. It's cool and you should get it!
