The Tipping Point of Human CGI

The Tipping Point of Human CGI - In Australia there is a Computer Graphics Artist named Chris Jones.  He's only recently come to my attention.  But he is obviously a force to be reckoned with. Humans are hard to nail.  Our eyes register things, and our brain senses human realism that is truly difficult to duplicate.  Think back through some of the previous attempts and how we just don't take them seriously.

Tuck Me In Halloween Magic

Tuck Me In Halloween Magic - I recently did a review of a couple movies that blew my mind. Coherence being one. And The One I Love, being the other. They remind me of this little snippet of a vignette of an idea. Apparently the idea originally came from a micro-short-story idea competition on Reddit written by Juan J. Ruiz, aka justAnotherMuffledVo.

Ambition Sci-Fi Magical Short

Ambition Sci-Fi Magical Short - Oh my marvelous creator this video is awesome. I just can't get enough of these pixels. The special effects, the scenery, the story, the all of it!! Gah. I want there to be 100 minutes of this. Just these two characters chatting about their powers and discussing science. I want Neo to make an appearance, and I want these two sorcerers to LAUGH at his silly bullet time capabilities.

New Podcast Crack Serial

New Podcast Crack Serial - A good podcast is gold in my world.  Find me a good one and you just found yourself a friend for life.  You may even find yourself in my Last Will And Testament too accidentally.  Not that I have anything worth owning.  But its the thought that counts.  I've discussed podcasts a bit here at THinc. but this new podcast by the NPR boys that brought us This American Life goodness and Radiolab have brought us a new podcast that may be laced with METH for how addictive it is.

Intersections Lasercut Art Installation

Intersections Lasercut Art Installation - Some of the greatest stuff venturing into the art world today are being generated with the help of lasers (SHARKS WITH LASERSSSS!!!) cutting technology. The precision and the intricacy is second to none. And the results really can be revolutionary when coupled with the right visionary. Anila Quayyum Agha is one such artist with a vision all her own. Anila has taken a box that has been intricately sliced and diced, added a light bulb, and then has allowed the shadows to be her art.

Yelp Troll Reviews of World Renowned Art Galleries

Yelp Troll Reviews of World Renowned Art Galleries - Every now and again I lough out loud at internet trolls. They really are amazing. Flame wars at the bottom of articles on CNN are just the beginning of the amazingness.

Banksy Unveiled? Not Even Close.

Banksy Unveiled? Not Even Close - This morning I woke to the startling news that Banksy had been unveiled. I tripped out as I worked through the emotions of it. OH AWESOME, THEY FOUND HIM. Oh, Huh... They Found Him. DANG. THEY FOUND HIM?!?

Endgame: The Calling – Three Million in Gold

Endgame: The Calling - Three Million in Gold - I have already begun searching for some of the 75 already created websites and social media profiles that have been created for the book, the puzzles and the game. I've discovered a couple. But I'm a little confused by a lack of sharing going on on the web already. Maybe I should keep them to myself?!? hahah. I mean, we are talking about 187 pounds of gold after all. Yeah. I think I'll keep them to myself. See you in the game.

Ambilight Skiing

Ambilight Skiing - enough to make one salivate... if I do say so myself.

CitizenFour – Snowden Documentary

CitizenFour - Snowden Documentary - It is clear that the U.S. Government has gone too far this time. But that is just my random opinions that don't really add up to much. What I am excited about is this documentary. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

The Future Will Be Hacked

The Future Will Be Hacked - There has been so much political grist for the networks and the news world lately about hacked celebrity accounts that I wonder what sort of pretensions we are all operating under here. Wait. While we are at the beginning, I think I should rename this post from "The Future Will Be Hacked" to "The Future Was Hacked Already" or better yet, "You Already Lost All Your Junk, You Just Don't Know It Yet."

Uber Beer Selection Flow Chart

Uber Beer Selection Flow Chart - other times I have no idea. I'm just a ship adrift. I wander from the ciders to the IPAs and back over to the stouts and around to the pales. Its on days like that I wish I had this handy flow chart for helping to decide exactly the right type of beer... at least the right section of the store anyway.

Jaw-Dropping Lunar Eclipse Over Tajikistan

Jaw-Dropping Lunar Eclipse Over Tajikistan - Tajikistan, a place I have never even flown over. Never even gotten close to. But apparently its a great spot for getting amazing lunar eclipses. Yeah, you heard me right, that is a Lunar... yes, I said Lunar, eclipse. The full moon is so bright in this footage it looks like its actually the sun - a solar eclipse. But no, its the moon.
