DragonCon 2016
Another year at DragonCon has come and gone! We had a great time as usual, and it was good to meet up with old friends and make new ones. I tried not to spend as much time as I did last year in the Space and Science tracks, but I...

Rogue One: The Official Trailer
The full two minute trailer for Star Wars: Rogue One has been unveiled! I don’t even know what the say right now! I’m utterly speechless! I keep using exclamation marks even though I know better! So stop reading these random ramblings and just watch the trailer! Do it now!
Comic-Con Trailer Bonanza!
Although I didn’t go to San Diago Comic-Con (DragonCon is more my thing) I have certainly been enjoying the flood of trailers pouring out from the various studios. It’s impossible to say which of these movies I’m looking forward to more. I guess I’m looking forward to them all! “Suicide Squad”...
Doctor Who Video Montage
I just stumbled upon a really cool Doctor Who video montage. It’s worth checking out, if you’re a Doctor Who fan (though it probably won’t make sense if your not). There’s a whole series of these (and a few other shows mixed in too, like Sherlock) by TheGaroStudios. It’s worth...
Sanjay’s Super Team
With all the superhero movies that have been coming out of late, perhaps it’s time for something a little new, a little old, and a little different? Well Disney Pixar has a nice little animated short film called Sanjay’s Super Team, in which young boy finds a new, and very old,...
Star Wars: The Mega-Infographic
Martin Panchaud, an illustrator and graphic novelist with apparently a lot of time on his hands, has created a truly epic and utterly awe-inspiring mega-infographic of Star Wars IV: A New Hope. Yes, the entire movie, in one gigantic, scrollable infographic. And it’s big. Really big. If printed, the infographic would...
Kepler Finds Even More Exo-Planets
NASA’s Kepler mission has just announced finding some 1,284 new largish balls of rocks and somewhat larger balls of gas orbiting distant stars. That brings the total number of exo-planets discovered to nearly 5,000. That’s 5,000 planets known to exist orbiting distant stars. Wow! They also revealed that 9 of...
Terran Trade Authority – Spacecraft 2000-2100 AD
I just ran across this amazing CGI animation by Adrian Mann of Stewart Cowley’s Spacecraft, 2000-2100 A.D sci-fi art book. I had this book as a kid, and it was absolutely amazing–a vision of mankind’s exploration of space in all its breathtaking wonder and grandeur. Although long out of print, you can still find...
DIY Thermite Launcher!
Check out this homemade thermite launcher! I’m sure it’s perfectly safe to use, though to be perfectly honest, I wouldn’t be wearing a tie while firing this thing. Oh, and, don’t try this at home…
If Star Wars was an Anime
If Star Wars was a Japanese anime film, it would probably look something like this. Kudos to the fantastic digital animator, Paul Johnson!
