We were treated to this spooky golden sunset this week in Swansea. Nature must be getting ready for Halloween! :-p
Last weekend I travelled down to Exeter for Munster's first Heineken Europpean Champions Cup match at home to Exeter in Sandy Park. The teams cam away with an even 10 points in the end. I took a few photos from the North Terrace which you can see here.

The plot thickens on Businessweek's exposé on the Chinese server motherboard spy chip that they discovered (see item here in Edition #127). Both Apple and Amazon have released statements saying that they never discovered the intruder chip in any of their devices and that they told Businessweek numerous times.

The Mediated Matter Group at MIT have created Fiberbots, robots that use a mix of fiber and resin to build towers underneath themselves. The bots use sensors and algorithms to colaborate with eachother while adjusting the length and curvature of the towers they build. (H/T to Mikael for sharing this).

The reincarnation of The Hard Yards podcast rose to life this week in its new form, Baz & Andrew's House Of Rugby, hosted by former Munster 13 Barry Murphy and former Ulster winger Andrew Trimble. The mixture of banter and chat with proper rugby analysis is spot on and fantastically fills the rugby podcast void that fans of The Hard Yards have been stranded in since this season kicked off in September. It's available as a podcast on Soundcloud and the usual podcast apps, and also on YouTube. Fill your rugby boots!
