Steam Frame, gravity-well asteroids, and an e-ink bird feeder

Valve’s new VR headset landed and it caught my eye, even though I’m not really in the market for VR gear.

Asteroids flipped on its head, you’re not the ship, you place gravity wells and sling the rocks around instead. This is really fun.

A Raspberry Pi project that listens out for birdsong, identifies the species, and draws it up on an e-ink display. Lovely little project.

A 3D flight simulator where you’re the passenger, not the pilot. Wander the cabin, check the flight progress, look out of the windows, and collect a flag for every country you fly to.

The latest GNOME release notes, a good look at what’s changing in the desktop this cycle.
