Dune (1984)

This morning I visited the Computer Museum at the University of Waterloo, where my kid is working this summer. Great exhibits, so many memories, and things I did not know.

It's a ludicrous "everything and the kitchen sink" approach to making a smartphone. It's actually not a great "phone", but it's an impressive internet appliance with a newer more powerful chip and an INCREDIBLE projector built in! Here's the Tank 5!

#PokemonGo Hub pushes back (a bit) on the idea that Pokemon Go players are training military drones.
