"I think that the physical and the digital are inseparable in culture in the same way that waves and particles are inseparable in light." This is great, and reminds me how Berger-esque some of James' art-writing is getting.

This is lovely: Lucier translated to the physical from the sonic; making rooms from previous rooms.

"We already know the decapitated Statue of Liberty in Deus Ex can tell a story; perhaps I want to know if a building can tell me a poem.

In that vein, "Butte, Montana. 1973" is a game where you dig around in a box of dirt."

This is marvellous; thoughtful, interesting, perhaps not entirely successful, but the trick of the rain at the end is a very, very nice touch.

"Simply stick your finger in the hole and a virtual representation appears on the screen. Then you can use your virtual finger to play all kinds of cool mini games... from swinging a panda to having a karate fight with a tiny little man." Um, wow. Although I'm always afraid of putting appendages in boxes I can't see inside, though.

"As yet unseen footage of the first stable version of levelHead, an augmented-reality spatial-memory game by Julian Oliver." Absolutely wonderful: augmented-reality exploration/platform game. You need to watch it.

A brief - but useful - guide to getting data out of the Wii Nunchuck.

"Funnel is a toolkit to sketch your idea physically, and consists of software libraries and hardware. By using Funnel, the user can handle sensors and/or actuators with various programming languages such as ActionScript 3, Processing, and Ruby."

Joel Johnson interviews a designer of some "classic" Space Lego, from c.1990. I had a least one of these sets - it was one of my favourite Leg sets to build; really well thought through.

Nice. A tiny little USB I/O board for about twenty-thirty quid. It works with Macs, it works with Processing and Wiring, and it comes from Italy. Probably my way into experimenting with physical interface fun. Time to buy a soldering iron...

Like the Crystal Maze, but not on telly. Interesting - taking gaming metaphors into the real world
