NASA Shuttle Challenger Documentary

NASA Shuttle Challenger Documentary - I will never forget where I was when I saw the launch. I could walk you to the room in my Middle School and point to where I was seated. Everyone who saw it live will never forget seeing the shuttle break apart just over a minute later. The result of that explosion was the killing of seven astronauts, including the first “teacher in space” – Christa McAuliffe. This 20 minute documentary revisits the tragic event – and the 2003 Columbia disaster — through interviews with key participants, and explores the forces that lead groups within large organizations to make dreadfully wrong decisions.

Tori Amos Madonna Frozen Cover

Tori Amos Madonna Frozen Cover Oh and Cloverfield - Tori Amos performed in Amsterdam, Concertgebouw. And apparently she has been taking a break from her own stuff each night to cover other artists during the show. In Amsterdam she chose to hit Madonna's sweet song, Frozen. No not Disney's Frozen... which would be epic for DIFFERENT reasons. Anyway very nice little cover here. Love it. But pretty much anything Tori does is amazing in my opinion.

Happy Birthday Me Flipbook Kit

Oh my gosh. I laughed and laughed and laughed when I saw this originally. First, let me tell you that my birthday is coming. This is important information. Why? Because I so want one of these, and this would be a fantastic gift. Really. I mean, most friends, hem-and-haw and say, "No really its ok... you don't need to honor my birthday in any way, whatsoever. I'm really just pond scum..." You know that particular drill. But that is not what I'm doing for you. I am coming right out and saying this. THIS. THIS is exactly what I want. And if 12 of you buy one for me, ALL THE BETTER. Apparently they even have kits that let you motorize them - and then chain them together?!? YES PLEASE! hahaha.

New Nolan Interstellar Trailer

New Nolan Interstellar Trailer - Christopher Nolan is working on a new film. I first mentioned it a couple months ago - but the previous trailer couldn't even be considered anything but a pile of inspirational shots and then a trail of smoke leading out into the heavens. Now Nolan has release an actual trailer that has turned the interwebs into a roiling, frothing chaos of speculation and excitement. Some are saying Nolan said nothing in this trailer. Some are saying its the greatest trailer of the year.

Home Run Derby Mickey Mantle vs Willie Mays

Looking for a smile today? I smiled for 20 minutes straight while watching this video of Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle performing for this one on one homerun derby competition. I loved everything about this video. The kindness of the contestants. The golly-gee-wiz attitude of the announcer. The "Recorded with MULTIPLE CAMERAS" comment at the end. Pretty much everything about this little competition was golden through and through. I think my life is now a substantially better thing after watching this flash back to a better era.

Thanks a lot. And so, duh, yer fired.

If Your Dad Worked For Dreamworks

If Your Dad Worked For Dreamworks - Yeah, ok, so now you know for CERTAIN your dad isn't as cool as you thought he was. DreamWorks special effects artist Daniel Hashimoto decided to take his family videos of his son and turn him into an action hero. They are all very short - but each one is wonderfully delicious in their own sweet way.
