Mindhacks, the site

I mentioned the Mindhacks here a while back… here’s the official site, complete with a blog.

The O’Reilly catalog includes some sample hacks: here.

Excavation of King Solomon’s temple

Did the first Knights Templars have a dead sea scroll that was a treasure map that depicted the location of the treasures buried under Solomon’s Temple when they arrived in Jeruselum?

Inventions from sci-fi authors

Haven’t had time to poke around here much, but a great idea for a web site:

Explore the wide variety of inventions and ideas of science fiction writers – over 675 are available on Technovelgy (that’s tek-novel-gee!). Use the Timeline of Science Fiction Invention or the alphabetic Glossary of Science Fiction Technology to see them all, see the category that interests you, or check Science Fiction in the News and watch sf come to life.

NASA sending hammer to space

Somehow I’d think this would be bigger news, or have I just not been paying close enough attention?

You can learn something about a rock by looking at it. But what most geologists really want is to smack it with a hammer.

And that’s just what planetary scientists will do July 4 when NASA’s Deep Impact mission reaches the comet Tempel 1 after a trip of six months and 80 million miles.

If all goes well, an 820-pound copper “hammer” the size of a bathtub will separate from its mother ship and, 24 hours later, smash into the comet’s icy nucleus at about 23,000 mph.

Knights Templar seek papal apology for 700 years of persecution

Think the Pope will actually apologize?

Seven hundred years after they were denounced as heretics and condemned to torture and death, the Knights Templar are calling for a public apology from the Roman Catholic Church.

The secretive organisation which was formed at the time of the Crusades has written to Pope John Paul II requesting that the Vatican officially atone for the persecution of the order.

Magickal RPG

I don’t really get into RPGs anymore, but this looks interesting:

The Swing is in RPG (Role-playing Game). The basic premise of The Swing is that Reality is like the swing of a pendulum. Sometimes it swings in one direction; sometimes it swings in the opposite direction. Sometimes reality is dragons and faeries, sometimes it lasers and computers. The Swing is about making your game into what you want it to be. The Swing is designed around the thought that a person?s WILL can shape reality. A character?s WILL can shape the game, the world and all those within.

What was the name of that RPG that was based on Burrough’s Interzone stories?

Update: Seems the link to this is dead, but here’s a review of the game
