Spintronics Review

Project L Review

Hmm, how to introduce Project L? Usually I will write a little thematic opener here, but Project L has absolutely no pretence of theme whatsoever.

Turing Tumble Review

I will preface this review for my regular readers: Turing Tumble is not a boardgame. It's an educational puzzle 'game'. The Turing Tumble is a piece of highly intricate, alien computing technology. Developed on a world where a complex phenomenon prevents the operation of conventional computers (maybe we are just in the wrong Zone of … Continue reading Turing Tumble Review →
