Harleypalooza

The annual Harleypalooza meet-up brings together a bunch of DC cosplayers, including tons of Harley Quinns. This was my first time at the event's photo shoot and it was an absolute blast.

This first group shot showcased Harleys and Jokers.

A standoff!

The Arrow, Red Hood and Nightwing had a tense moment.

Cosplayer @captaineddiemullis is Dick Grayson, aka Nightwing. It took him a month and a half to make his costume. The easiest part was the gauntlet, he says.

Harley vs. Joker

In this group shot, there's some conflict among Joker and Pudding. That happens when you have so many options.

In love and war

Harley is probably remembering that one time Joker let her get caught by Batman. Although we know it's been more than once.

Mad Harleys

All the Harleys gang up on the Jokers, because love is a complicated thing.

Dead pool? Pun intended!

This isn't exactly the party Deadpool was expecting. Good thing he's wearing red.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
