Friday round-up
by the editorial team
Coming to the Red Hat Summit in a few weeks? Join us on Facebook.
The sci-fi and fantasy worlds must have been busy on the web this week, because that’s what’s been catching our eyes.
- Have you ever wished you could play Lego Star Wars while it was being projected from a mobile R2D2 who could also dock your iPod? Now you can.
- Comic book superhero Iron Man is on the side of… proprietary software? “According to series writer Matt Fraction, the battle between Tony Stark and new bad guy Ezekiel Stane is really just an allegory for the battle Bill Gates wages against smaller software providers every single day of his life.”
- Would you rather read more about Tron Guy than Paris Hilton? ROFLCon, held a couple of weekends ago, describes itself as “a group dissection of internet culture.” The io9 blog poses it as “the future of celebrity.” Wired has a photo gallery from the event.

I’ve signed up for the Facebook group and posted a note to the wall for people using Twitter to use #rhsummit to allow for tracking during the conference. It looks like #javaone was used at the JavaOne conference last week and worked well.
