Shin'en, developer of the DS shmup Nanostray and its sequel -- and, most recently, WiiWare platformer Jett Rocket -- has begun to tease its next project for Wii's digital platform: FAST Racing League. Only a single piece of promotional art (pictured) has been revealed so far, but this image is worth at least a couple dozen words. Like, for example, the game looks to be a futuristic racer and the ship design bears an uncanny similarity to those of a certain Sony racing franchise.

It's too soon to hope for an F-Zero style racer on Wii (where is the Wii game in that series, anyway?) but at least those of us who like our racing fast and future-focused have something to put on our radar.

Do you feel the inexplicable compulsion to map the contours of your grotesque visage on a professional level? MakerBot Industries has come up with a clever device that should let you do so using a gaming peripheral you might already own: The PlayStation Eye.

The MakerScanner (which isn't available for purchase yet, though interested parties can put their names on a mailing list) is designed to let users create a full 3D geometric scan of an object using the PS Eye and a laser line pointer. This results in a data map that can be used to create 3D models or, with the right -- presumably expensive -- equipment, a physical statuette. We think it would be worth the investment to fill our apartment with busts of ourselves. "Oh, this one," we'd tell our visitors, "this one's us in repose."

Silverlight applications cannot access server-side classes or variables without mediator like Web Service or WCF Service or WCF RIA. Now I will walk through how we can call WCF Service in Silverlight4 application. We need to install silverlight4 SDK to work on Silverlight projects. Please follow this blog post for more details on Silverlight Tool KIT installation. To create a Silverlight application, Go to File- >New-> Silverlight-> Silverlight Application Name it as demo; Silverlight Application requires a web application project or website to host it. You can view Client-Bin Folder here in the web application that will be empty initially.

TomTom komt binnenkort met een update van de iPhone-app. Met de update naar 1.5 is de app klaargestoomd voor de mogelijkheden van de iPhone 4. Zo mogen we een hogere resolutie, scherpere kaarten, sneller reagerende menu’s en betere positiebepaling verwachten. Een andere interessante nieuwe functie is de navigate-to-photo-functie. TomTom leidt je dan naar de locatie waar een door jou gekozen foto genomen is. Dat gebeurt door middel van de geo-tag van de foto.

Gaijin Games (of Bit.Trip fame) announced during GDC that it is was bringing Different Cloth's award-winning inside music game, Lilt Line, to WiiWare. The first video of the port in action is out -- which looks and sounds just like the iPhone original (i.e, great.) Now all we need is a date!

Toshiba has announced the voluntary recall of about 41,000 notebook computers worldwide at risk of overheating and burning users.

DataModeler is an Open Source ORM I began writing at the beginning of the year. I had experience with ActiveRecord, but was dissuaded from using it all too often because it was difficult to unit test (at least I felt so). Wanting to learn Test Driven Development better, I decided to create my own small ORM framework: DataModeler.

I'm a longtime Java, Ruby, and Python programmer. Yet Clojure is the first language I've used that I truly enjoy using on a daily basis.
