I heard notch livestreamed some 1.8 stuff today. TOO BAD I MISSED IT.
Just got a plugin for my server called TextureSpout... it changes the texture pack between different worlds... its pretty cool!

Minecraft Pocket Edition is out on the android market... looks just like classic though :(

Zeppelin Mod

New mod out (i think), and its pretty good. It's called the zeppelin mod. What it does is allow you to craft a block that lets you, basically, make your house fly. You place the block anywhere in your creation, and right click it. You control the flying with the numpad, AND, it has a block blacklist just so you don't accidentally lift the earth. I don't think your computer would handle that well, but it helps to not crash it. Only 1 thing i don't like, which is the blocks other than the bottom blocks become transparent (physically, not visually.). Therefore, if it's raining you will get soaked.

Here's the mod: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/488434-17306-zeppelin-wip/
