Really, what more need be said to introduce this video? (thanks for the link, Dave) Also… nobody’s watching “Lost”.

sf book meme
Moggy‘s got a meme up that I can spend the couple minutes on to answer as well. Have a look below the jump if interested, and the theme of the meme is which of the books on the Science Fiction Book Club’s 50 most significant SF/Fantasy books list have you read or tried to read, […]
six feet under
Huzzah, huzzah! I knew if I wated long enough, the price of a season’s worth of Six Feet Under would fall below $100. Best Buy has Season’s 1-3 for $49.99 CAD now, and if you haven’t ever watched the show, I strongly recommend it. I got Season’s 1 and 2, which will keep me busy […]
flight patterns
When I started at SGI, the company was a lot more than over-priced graphics workstations. There was a tonne of work in data visualisation; taking huge quantities of data and presenting them in a visual format that’s easier to understand than just the raw numbers. One of the most compelling demos we had was a […]
treat!
I’ve mentioned once or twice that I’m a fan of mashups. I love how they can combine very different musical genres and make something better than just the sum of its parts (of course “better” is in the eye of the beholder). One of my favourite mashup artists, Mark Vidler, is releasing what he calls […]
little mermaid
I am sad to admit I’m actually a fan of the movie “The Little Mermaid”. But I am, so I’ll get over it. I have twice gone hunting for copies of this movie after the limited release had sold out. I once paid $280 for a sealed copy of the VHS release from 1992 for […]
in case you’re bored, too
Check out the Evolution of Dance. This one has made the rounds before, so you may have already seen it. It’s a six-minute mix of music across a few genres, and is a bald, white guy’s interpretation of the dance that went with it. He’s pretty clearly tired at the end, but it’s impressive (particularly […]
sanctity of life
As you may (or may not) have heard, the little man in the big house down South vetoed a stem cell research bill that would have permitted federal funding for research using discarded embryos. The primary reason given was that every life was sacred, and that it was the personal responsibility of the president to […]
refreshing sand
Look! A manual exposure! By me! Not involving a trench coat and a bus! And it looks like I may even have a clue! And how about all them exclamation marks!!! (damn you, prii) Thank you Canon for making it easy to fake it, and thank you even more Bryan Peterson for an outstanding reference […]
ron maclean vs. colin campbell
During the second intermission of Game 4 of the finals on Monday, Ron MacLean interviewed Colin Campbell and took him to task for some of the calls and lack of calls during the playoffs. Campbell tried to spin it a little with the old “what do you want us to do, it’s the playoffs, and […]
