Bring your virtual dog trick or treating…
The best thing going for the Nintendo DS is “Nintendogs” a game of sorts where you raise a virtual puppy. I’m slowly raising one, more about that later, but – here’s a little “News from the Future” action, you can bring your virtual doggie to a GameSpot, place it in bark mode and get a free virtual gift. Of course, I want to set up my own version and give out treats, er tricks, outside… [via] Link.

This is interesting – Konami and Sony are doing 3D glasses for the PSP and they appear to work with more than just games – since the PSP does web, you could make 3D web sites and your own 3D images to view…3D game playing will be possible with “Metal Gear Acid 2,” scheduled for release on Dec. 8 in Japan. The goggles, to be hooked up to the game console, can also be used to view images other than those of video games.

Excellent tale from the “Make” – If the field wasn’t so remote, Waldo County residents would have been treated to an unusual sight in September: Blueberry rakers merrily pedaling old bicycles that powered even-older machines used to clean the fruit. Like many good ideas, Shana Hanson’s bicycle-powered blueberry winnowers had their roots in calamity… Hanson borrowed two bicycles that were already mounted on homemade wooden frames. She removed the tires from the back wheels, and covered the inside of the rims with duct tape. Then she attached drive belts that linked the wheels to pulleys on the winnowers. It was an instant success.
