Remember the classic arcade game you used to play on your beatdown PC when you got bored? Time is not the real enemy, mines are. As a kid growing up in Afghanistan, Massoud Hassani used to make toys that got lost forever after the wind carried them into minefields. Now he has now designed a real minesweeper that wanders where winds blow, scouting out mines to reap their long overdue death. His invention is now being tested by the Dutch army.

Massoud Hassani has received a London Design Museum Award nomination for his mine kafon. The museum will announce the winners in April. I hope Hassani wins. (From Laurel Anne Hill, moderator for the Minds Clearing Land Mines WordPress blog: http://mindsclearinglandmines.wordpress.com.)
