Links around the watercooler:

• Do you like James Bond? Do you like awesome text-based games? You should drop what you are doing now and check out this Text Adventure James Bond game, which Kotaku has even named the “best James Bond game of the Fall.” Yes, there is actually more than one James Bond game coming out this Fall, and apparently, this is the game to play. (I personally cannot wait to see Skyfall! Excuse me while I go play this game some more.)
• After you play that James Bond game, you can continue the fun with Javascript Numbers and Prototype.
• The Fresh Squeezed Mobile Podcast, brought to you by Breaking Development, released a great episode with Sam Richard about sass and designing in browser, like a boss. You can listen to the podcast here.
• If you’ve drooled over 3D printers like we have, you might want to take a look at this article about an Open Source kit for making pretty much anything, from toasters to small vacuum cleaners.
