Hyper Strike Chester

A photo of Hyper Strike Chester, the combined form of the Chrome Chester vehicles from Bandai’s Ultraman Nexus toy line.

MRR joints abound in these vehicles but the interchangeability options are a bit limited. Despite standardised pegs and ports, it’s evident from the placement of some pegs that they were designed expressly to fit the ports of specific parts. I had hoped to create some nice fan-modes out of these vehicles and Mugenbine parts but it’s easier said than done.

WMF vulnerability patch released.
Here’s why Microsoft sensibly (if belatedly) decided to release it early.

Windows XP Home users screwed soon.
“For Windows XP Home Edition, there will be no security updates after 12/31/06.” But confusingly, Service Pack 3 is tentatively due in the second half of 2007.

Dangerous ideas.
Big thinkers with provocative thoughts.
