New Lego Mindstorms Robots
Lego announced new Mindstorms sets for the first time in 7 years. These are lego kits that have moving parts and motors, and include access to basic programming languages.

I don’t love programming but that remains one of the more fun memories I have of classes I took in college.
Star Wars Squadrons Announced
EA has announced a new Star Wars game coming in October. Star Wars: Squadrons is a star wars fighter game in the vein of the 90’s classics X-Wing and Tie Fighter. I can only hope it’s almost as good. I wait with bated breath for the October 2nd release date.
