Nintendo full of itself – claims 99% of US video game growth is down to Wii and DS
It’s like the last days of the Roman Empire in Nintendo’s American HQ.

Make, share, and buy 3D designs online with Shapeways
Shapeways is a lovely idea – it’s a website that lets you do 3D modelling online, without any of the tedious tweaking from three different angles that usually accompanies such modelling packages. You can design and share your creations, and Shapeways can produce and deliver any design within 10 working days.

These “light poems” require no modelling at all – you just put the text in, and it’ll create it for you. I’m making one right now that just says “poo” over and over again. Round and round. It’s beautiful.
