What it does

On reveal: -3 Power to the strongest enemy card here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 11 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.

The site, in 2005

A site of user-written, step-by-step do-it-yourself projects, with photos and comment threads on each step.

Eric Wilhelm and Saul Griffith launched it in August 2005. Members post projects called Instructables and talk them through in comments and forums. Autodesk owns it now.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
