Of course you regret something, we all do. One of the hardest things in life is trying to get over that deep, dark feeling of regret many of us carry inside. Thanks to some thoughtful artists, developers and social thinkers, it’s even easier now to admit your sins and possibly find a little closure, anonymously.

With Get Over It, you can simply enter your deepest regrets anonymously, sharing them with a mostly sympathetic public, allowing you to reach at least a small amount of closure. Limited to 1000 characters or less, of course.

Boston Dynamics, the DARPA backed research agency, specializing in developing combat-ready robotics and simulations machines, have released a new video of their “war mule” robot, named Big Dog. Resembling our favorite four-legged friend, Big Dog is run by a gasoline-powered engine (hence the noise), trots at 3.3 mph and can carry a load of up to 120lbs, if not more. Scary, spooky and fascinating all at one time.

Be prepared to lose some sleep tonight. Princeton University have their impressive collection of death masks online, documented in a series of creepy photos, displaying death masks throughout history. Some amazing examples are on display, for instance, this one to the right, Abraham Lincoln, 16th president of the United States of America, and others like Sir Isaac Newton, Napoleon III and James Dean.

Cute alert!! As with any proud nerd father, there comes a time when they must introduce their child to the wonders of Star Wars. Only this time, the father filmed parts of his daughters monologue explaining one of the most famous sci-fi films of all time. Quickly becoming a YouTube hit, the little one is now receiving movie and television offers, which rightly are being turned down.

The proud father had to say:

Here is my daughter, age 3, explaining the plot of Star Wars Episode IV.

She explained the whole movie to me in much greater detail but unfortunately I didn’t have the camera going. When I finally caught her talking about the movie again she delivered this truncated, but still funny, version.

A little more about the video: She wasn’t coached to say anything, nor was she forced to make the video. She rarely stops talking. Those of you with children understand this: sometimes it’s harder to turn the faucet off than to turn the faucet on.

The video was edited to make it shorter, more cohesive and hopefully funnier. I did move some of the lines around so it would make more sense.

Created as a Master of Science thesis by a Computer Science student in Umeå University, Phun is an amazing little educational game giving players a rich physics playground where they can easily build and tear apart environments, creating havoc upon squiggly line blocks, water, bits and so much more. Great for teaching a young class about the concepts of physics or just a fun little toy to waste your time at work.

Captured by the Cassini spacecraft, the noises you’re hearing are emissions directly from Saturn, which have been altered so humans can interpret them. Though the general patterns of the emissions remain intact, what we get is beautiful and sweeping ambient noise, which is being added to my iPhone play list right behind Eno, Canavarro and Cage.

Where else but in Japan? The Central Japan Railway Company announced plans last week to introduce the world’s fastest magnetically levitated passenger train, at a cost of $44.7 billion US Dollars. Planning to top speeds of 500 KMH (310 MPH), the CJRC maglev train will become the fastest in the world, beating out the current champion which tops out at snails-pace of 430 KPH in Shanghai.

Seems quite some people are still upset about Firefox users’ habit of blocking web advertising! Oh noes! A growing number of bloggers appear to be blocking users of the popular Firefox browser from accessing their content, claiming it’s theft to read a blog while blocking advertising. Though as a publisher I understand the hate, as a developer and heavy internet user, I’m torn. We had a ton of feedback to us here at BoN about our previous layout, with 4 ad display units per page, which opened our eyes, causing us to change, leaving one med-block ad unit above the fold (kinda). This we felt was a happy medium, where users wouldn’t have their experience diluted and we as publishers wouldn’t have our revenue diluted (too much). We can live with that, all we ask is that our readers live with it too.

Quote from Whyfirefoxisblocked.com:

The Mozilla Foundation and its Commercial arm, the Mozilla Corporation, has allowed and endorsed Ad Block Plus, a plug-in that blocks advertisement on web sites and also prevents site owners from blocking people using it. Software that blocks all advertisement is an infringement of the rights of web site owners and developers. Numerous web sites exist in order to provide quality content in exchange for displaying ads. Accessing the content while blocking the ads, therefore would be no less than stealing. Millions of hard working people are being robbed of their time and effort by this type of software. Many site owners therefore install scripts that prevent people using ad blocking software from accessing their site. That is their right as the site owner to insist that the use of their resources accompanies the presence of the ads.

Growing up, I couldn’t get enough of The Price Is Right game show on daytime television. Being a young design nerd, one of the things that fascinated me the most was the wonderfully presented game props with their Madison Ave layouts, their swooping curves and flashing lights of various colors, wrapped around beautiful typography from various decades. Now, thanks to some amazing fans, you can find the corresponding font to some of your favorite Price Is Right games, from Hi-Lo, to Safe Crackers and Spelling Bee!
