I wonder if this is how it really happened?

New Peter Hamilton stuff on Sony Connect store
Peter F Hamilton’s latest book, The Dreaming Void, is up on the Sony Store for the Sony eReader. Excellent. I’ve got the hardback copy and, truth be told a dodgy PDF of a pre-release proofing edition of the book. I converted the latter to Sony LRF format using BookDesigner. I read it on the Sony. The paper copy is on the shelf in the spare room beside the other books set in there same Universe. So now I have a legit copy on my Sony eReader. I’m also completely legit again. No eBooks, software, music or games on my Mac that I haven’t purchased.
I also purchased a copy of his A Second Chance at Eden at the same time.
Song of the Day: Weekend Wars by MGMT
This was the free single of the week on iTMS UK recently. Really good. I bought the album. MGMT (pronounced Management) have got a very good sound. It reminds me of lots of different styles and bands I like. Too many to mention. But they have taken a lot of styles and come up with something really good.
Creationists are IDiots
Complete and utter IDiots. This is not news of course. But more evidence comes via PZ Myers.
New Motorstorm 2 trailer
The new Motorstorm 2 will be mega. Here is a trailer.
Dune Messiah & Children of Dune – Audiobooks

PixelJunk Monsters
I bought PixelJunk Monsters from the Playstation Network Store last night. It’s fabulous 🙂 Really addictive and lots of good fun. Reviews here and here. Time to build some towers…
New version of Motorstorm due by Christmas!!
I love Motorstorm. The Dot.Life BBC blog is reporting that there will be a new version by Christmas –
Motorstorm 2 is due out in time for Christmas and moves the action away from the desert locale of the original. Gamers will be able to race around a lush island environment, full of interactive vegetation.The game will feature four-player split-screen action, righting one of the obvious failings of the first game.The title is some months away from completion but the game’s engine looked rock solid and the graphics were as impressive as one would expect from one of the best-looking racing franchises.
Yeah!

Microsoft to embrace open standards
Announced today. Microsoft is saying it’ll play nice in the standards area and will provide open access to the API’s for several of it’s core product lines.
Assuming they mean it and follow through on what they are announcing, then this will be a good thing. Time will tell. Microsoft have a history of embrace and extend when it comes to industry standards. The extend part made them non-standard.
Ars Technica has more.
