Hkey 960 is a $240 Android dev board/computer with Kirin 960

At first glance, the LeMaker HiKey 960 looks a lot like a Raspberry Pi. Both are single-board computers with ARM-based processors, a handful of ports and developer-friendly connectors. But while the Raspberry Pi 3 sells for about $35, the new HiKey 960 is priced at $240. So what makes this little computer worth nearly 9 […]

Say hello to the Moto E4 and Moto E4 Plus (leaks)

What Remains of Edith Finch is an effective experiment in storytelling

Touching, tightly-paced tale follows the emotional arc of a cursed family.

The average big-budget video game story is a sprawling power fantasy quest focused on saving the kingdom/world/galaxy, told in fits and starts amid dozens of hours of often repetitive puzzles and challenges.

As far as narrative is concerned, video games as a whole usually focus on the epic end of the scale. So it's nice to come across a game like What Remains of Edith Finch, which tells a much more human and much more focused story that can be completed in a single evening. In an industry glutted with sprawling epics, Edith Finch is the equivalent of a tightly written short story collection packed with interesting ideas.

Stately Finch manor

As the game begins, the titular Edith Finch makes her return to Washington State's Orcas Island as a 17-year-old. She revisits the childhood home she hasn't seen since departing in a hurry one night years ago. Words from a journal Edith is writing flutter across the screen (and your speakers) as you explore the house, slowly filling in the story of an ostensible Finch family curse that Edith herself is just learning the true extent of.

Armed with a key bequeathed by her recently departed mother, Edith can now get in the rooms of her departed siblings, aunts, and uncles going back three generations. Those rooms were sealed when each family member passed on, a physical reminder of the metaphorical wall that separates Edith from the full knowledge of her past.

Mission Control is a wonderful movie. Go see it now

“If we got in trouble those were the guys and gals I wanted working on it,”

Mission Control Movie

We'll make this flim review simple and straightforward: Mission Control is a wonderful movie. Go see it.

This new movie is both timely and overdue. It is timely in that we're nearing the 50th anniversary of the Apollo program's glory days, and it's overdue in the sense that mission control is finally getting some of the limelight it deserves. A few years ago a book titled Go Flight! brought the life and times of NASA's mission control during the Apollo and early space shuttle eras alive. These flight directors and controllers worked inside the “Cathedral,” the third floor of Building 30 on Johnson Space Center’s sprawling campus. They were always watching, running the missions, and ready to make split-second decisions.
