Flying man short film

This is scary good. It's crazy how often superhero stories are told with superhero as the central character not focusing on the havoc that falls all around them. To pull a name out of the air take The Avengers. New York was fucked up, the majority of what we saw was the superheros with a small nod to that there were people in the city. The superhero in this story doesn't exist as a super or hyper moral person, just a dispenser of a certain brand of justice.

Make yourself dumber

There are days I might be willing to consider this.

Poet?



I don't know where to put this, it doesn't speak for me but it did speak to me.  She's got a way with words, and it's an interesting story.  Click past if it's not for you.

Digital Short

Sometimes the Journey is the treasure. Some of the animation elements remind me of Aeon Flux and others of Ren and Stimpy. Taken together it's a pretty solid bit of animation with basically no spoken dialogue.

Interesting Premise, I don't strictly agree.



The difference or line that I like to draw is that while I may appreciate things cherry picked from other cultures, I don't express that like by adopting it as my own.  Appreciation of a different genera of is not the same as trying to take ownership and combine with other things to make something unique.

The things Portlandia makes fun of really is the most extreme outlandish take on situations that makes them ripe for ridicule.  For instance insisting on meeting the chicken that you are going to eat for dinner.  It's applying absurdism to something the earnest desire to not be so removed from the production of our food.

Science Friday

I dig me some science and graphene is definitely a huge area of interest moving forward for the electronics industry, in some respects all industries if the charge profile is as good as they think it is.

The crud, and other crust

It's stunning how quick and slow things seem to go.  Nothing really to report on any front, I've been wrapping up this and that but mostly moving chairs around on the titanic.  I bottled the side batch of the American Strong, that is really just a pale ale,  I've made arrangements for a guest brewer to host a beer in my barrel, secured enough bottles to get the full batch of the American strong bottled (though I'm going to need more caps and other bits), cleaned up the beer storage area where one of my containers of Starsan leaked nearly a gallon of water inside of a cabinet.  Unplugged my kegorator and am working on a rust and moisture problem that you get from running a chest freezer as a fridge.  Dug out the Navel Jelly to address said rust problem just waiting for the last of the moisture to dry up before I attack the rust and them seal up the seam that's letting water leak.  Finished up my rocket Stove and the stand for placing things above the stove, I just need to run a test burn to verify that the airflow is good and see how well my pots fit on my stand.

Otherwise, I'm getting over some cold thing and getting back into the gym.  It's my first full week back at lifting so I'm sore and hungry and cranky.  In short yeah, just living.


I'll leave you with this gem from Modest Mouse, Heart cooks brain. The years go fast and the days go slow.

Wait science damn you!

Minute Physics blows my mind on a weekly basis.





Completely un-related Science damn you makes me think of this South Park Episode.  Save the time child!

Video Profile of Doug North

I fancy myself a bit of an artist, and really identify with what the artist featured in this profile says about not yet finding that thing that clicks.  I like some of the mediums that I've worked with, and have aspirations of doing something really interesting with paint, prose, electronics and wood, but I haven't found that thing yet.  I'm an artist in search of his medium.

Battle Star Galactica?

I've never seen a single episode of BSG, (or anything related to firefly for that matter so don't use it as a reference point) but this little video piqued my interest.  So honestly and without gushing, give me your pitch on why the show was worth watching?

I'm in the tail end of Season one of Game of Thrones  and have the last few episodes of this season of Trublood to finish, but after that I have no shows on my watch list.

Cloud Atlas Trailer

Well it has the acting talent, and some really great directors.  Here's hoping for the best on this one.

More Joseph Gordon-Levitt

So I've posted a thing or two of Joseph Gordon-Levitt singing, and I really like the guy.  After watching the his recent SNL  I tumbled down the youtube hole and watched related videos of the Nirvana cover and found this one.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt sings Oasis- don't look back in anger

indie music

This video makes not one lick of sense to me.  I think the point is that the band doesn't really need that dorky guitar player to do live shows, so they made a video to let him know how superfluous he was and to shame him for playing army men all the time.

That's my take anyhow.

Well that lands distinctly in the cool category

J.R.R Tolkien reads a poem in Elvish.

It is crazy the amount of work that he put into creating languages for these books, even if the books themselves where rather dull reads.  The story itself was amazing, the telling was somewhat lackluster in my opinion.  Call it troll bait if you want, I read the books so it's my opinion to have.

Turning into a huge hippy

So I found this video the other day, and really enjoyed it. If I could embed this I would, but instead you have to go to the link. It's about woodworking and pretty cool.


The next video is about raising sheep.

Forgive my brain I just drove an RV all day yesterday, this just made me giggle.  I need a Tacobot 3000.

Egg separation

I'm sorry in advance.  She is way too much sunshine for most of the regulars around here, but the trick is pretty cool

Epic Tea Time

I had a few days off from the internet, and so I have some catch up posts to write. If you haven't watched this, or didn't like Inception... You should just quit the internet.
