Remember the classic RTS known as Command & Conquer? Well, an enterprising coder, Aditya Ravi Shankar, actually recreated the strategy game using nothing but HTML5, where it runs on 69k of Javascript. Why did he set out on such an adventure? For starters, Shankar’s attempt was a self-mandated undertaking in order to improve his coding skills, where he gave himself a one month window to rebuild the game in the browser, and had to comb through the original game’s files in order to obtain all the right sprites, sounds and specs. According to Shankar, “In hindsight, I might have wanted to take smaller steps and make a tower defense game instead of jumping directly into an RTS. Trying to do the whole thing in under a month all by myself wasn’t the smartest idea.” As part of Shankar’s recreation of Command & Conquer, it included buildings, terrain, combat, tiberium harvesting and regrowth, in addition to the ability to sell and repair buildings.

Those wacky folks at TokyoFlash have been at it again, this time creating an E-ink display watch that seems to pay homage to the current e-book craze.

The E Clock can be set to tell the time using normal numbers, or using one of those cryptic patterns of dashes and lines that the TokyoFlash designers seem to love. It can also connect via Bluetooth to your phone, alerting you through vibration or a blinking indicator to incoming calls and text messages. The band is made from flexible stainless steel, forming a cool looking bracelet.

As with many things from TokyoFlash, they will actually build this thing and put it on the market if enough people vote for it. As of this posting, you have 25 days left.
