C-Jump Boardgame: Learn C, C++ and Java in a fun yet educational way

When I first started in web design over 8 years ago it was simple HTML and then moved into using Java and PHP a lot more. Today using code is a daily thing and changes are always made, for children to learn programming in a world where just about everyone uses the Internet seems to make perfect sense. This means these children could code their own blog, sites and may even have a future in programming and site design just by playing a board game now.

C-Jump is a boardgame that helps children learn C, C++ and Java in a fun yet educational way. While they might not learn everything, it will set them on their way to wanting to learn more, as they get older.

This sums up what the game does:
“The child calculates the number of steps in the move, including addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication of small numbers. The game helps to develop understanding of a complete computer program, formed by logical sequences of commands.” C-Jump will cost $25 and will teach a lot more than what Halo 3 could.

1:1 scale radio-controlled HUMMER H3: is this the best RC ever?

I have seemed some nice RC cars in my time like Tamiya Blackfoot, which is a 1:10 scale Ford F-150 monster truck. Well if you thought that was awesome, you are sadly mistaken as there is a bigger monster in town.

Some guy has built a radio-controlled HUMMER H3, which has a 1:1 scale. The RC car was designed and built by Dr. James Brighton from Cranfield University. The HUMMER H3 is able to climb a 407mm vertical wall and can even traverse a 40% side slope.
