I'm heading off to E3 this morning, and Blue's giving me a ride to the airport in exchange for this here update. Regardless, today will have some major, major announcements (most of which will no doubt happen while I'm airborne). Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo will all be making huge announcements about their respective systems, and it's safe to assume that most of the news today will revolve around those, but we have learned that there are a few major PC announcements that will be coming out within the next 24 hours as well, so keep your eyes peeled to this here site - there's great stuff on the way.

Story of the Day: Runaway Freight Train Halted in Ohio (Reuters). I swear, this reads like a scene out of an action movie. Thanks Andrew Abernathy.
Bonus Story: Douglas Adams Immortalized in Stone (New Scientist). Thanks Brann Mitchell.
Weird Science: An Audio Spotlight Creates a Personal Wall of Sound (NY Times, free registration required). Thanks Trey Walker.
