Sometimes mining and crafting gets boring. The thrill of hunting mobs, exploring strongholds, or the Nether is often much more satisfying and appeals to the RPG nerd in all of us. Well, Mojang took the hint and as part of the 1.9 release, there will be potions, more mobs, other worlds, and enchantments added to the game. To preview this release, read my tutorial on how to download and install 1.9.3.

This is the first part in a pretty long series called 'My Quad Project' where this dude shows you in exacting detail how to make a very nice antenna.  There are a lot of these out there, but this guy uses heavy pipe and he has a great understanding of how it all works.  If you're an amateur radio junkie, this just may be for you.

I'm new here, but wanted to add formufit to the list of links on your cork board.  They are solely sellers of structural PVC items, used to build greenhouses and such.  I am currently building some outdoor PVC furniture as the weather here in Missouri has destroyed our previous 'durable store bought' furniture.  I saw some other resources on here, but I just bought a slew of products from formufit.com and I thought I would share.  I will post some photos of the completed furniture soon.

Last Thursday, on October 7th, indie game developers from around the world walked down a red carpet in Santa Monica, California in the hopes of winning an IndieCade award. We previously discussed the IndieCade festival and conference, but the award show is a smaller, more inclusive event that provides finalists the opportunity to see their project on stage with rewards by sponsors such as LG, who presented this year's ceremony.

I feel like it's time to raise awareness about bioplastics and let people know that oil is outdated.  I feel like the more we demand this, the more we're gonna see it, and that can actually help us, as a species, head more in the direction we should be.  There is nothing more important than the balance between organism and environment.

Ogilvy & Mather are no amateurs when it comes to Scrabble. They may not play the game, but they sure know how to promote it.

Minecraft is not just a game. It is a creative tool. Over the past year and a half countless epic builds, servers, and community projects have been undertaken. I'm sure some of you have seen the one-to-one scale recreation of the Starship Enterprise from Star Trek or the epic server Godcraft.

Overhead camera boom made with PVC pipe, from Dino at Hack a Week:

I am anti-oil, anti-gas, and just anti-fossil fuel in general, which causes me some serious vaccilation of the mind when it comes to my enthusiasm for the do it yourself wonder material known as PVC.  Even though I love this stuff for its properties, I really do not like the processes that go into making and disposing of it.  That means I get happy when I see news like this.

Last week he made a rare public appearance at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, which contains the school's video game programs, and gave a 90-minute talk about his career, influences, and the specifics of his new Fox game...
