# Travis Hudson at Gizmodo - SuperBot Robot Can Construct Itself - highlighting some research by Wei-Min Shen at USC in reconfigurable robot cubes, the can cooperate to get things done. Click the YouTube video below for more YouTube Videos. Visit this page for story and wmv videos (including the YouTube videos and more. Playable with Flip4Mac). Xerox Parc did research on modular robots a few years ago. Cornell has a slightly different self replication implementation. [gizmodo]

# No Limits - Rollercoaster Simulation works on Windows and OS X. The demo lets you simulate five tracks and play with the track editor. $30 gives you full access to creating your own tracks and saving screen shots. While in the simulator you can choose train and car, and look around. You can also use fly mode to go wherever you want. Nicely done. [tuaw]

# Coding Horror - Dynamic, Lightweight Visualization - a review of Ben Fry's Processing visualization language. I installed it and ran Coding Horror's BitTorrent visualization, and a bunch of the examples it ships with. Kule. [cafe]

# Casteel.org - Klondike is a Mac solitaire app that's been around for a long time. Works good, though the sound was annoying until I turned it off. $10 shareware.

# Max Edwin Wahyudi - Making of the Korean Actress "Song Hye Kyo" - Mr. Wahyudi tells how he created a 3D model of a Korean actress in Autodesk's 3ds Max (Windows only). I doubt he can make his model emote like the actress, but it sure looks real. [gizmodo]

# Jacqui Cheng at Ars Technica - First look: Joost 0.8 beta for the Mac - I signed up for the beta a few days ago. Got an automated reply, but no download info yet. Other than slow startup and a few expected beta flaws, it worked for Jacqui Cheng. Biggest problem I expect to have is slow downloading of video over my 600 kbit/second DSL line. [tuaw]
