If I could choose a super power, I would pick the ability to erase people's memory. And lucky for me, I've just been granted a free wish from The Magic Taco. Get ready, everyone. Pew! Done! Whew, now we never have to write a new post again. Check out these "new" links we prepared for you today:

Fans wear cosplay, superhero and manga costumes at London Comic Con 2012

One of Mark Tilden's original ideas for "survivable robots" was for this built for the purpose of detonating landmines. This solution, albeit only wind-driven, is pretty clever and inexpensive.

Supernova of Electronics

Here at Solarbotics, we like to celebrate things. And today we're remembering a supernova that took place in the Ophiuchus constellation and was observed by German astronomer Johannes Kepler back in 1604.
