More Proof the Serial Podcast is Amazing

"Are you listening to Serial yet? You have to start listening to Serial. Please. It’s a podcast from the makers of This American Life, it’s been going since October, there are seven episodes to catch up on (start from the beginning, listen in order) and… I’m obsessed. I need you all to start listening so that we can form some kind of Serial support group."

“The misconception of totalitarianism is that freedom can be imprisoned. This is not the case. When you constrain freedom, freedom will take flight and land on a windowsill.”

Star Wars Episode VII Title Announced and We Are Dubious

So we just learned the new title for our favorite space opera saga, and it is The Force Awakens. I am somewhat ambivalent about the title, but I also know quite a lot about the plot of the movie so far. And knowing what I know, it makes sense. But that doesn't mean it's any good. I think I will ultimately have to see the movie before I pass judgement. Cut that didn't keep Twitter from going completely and stark raving over the new title.

Call of Duty Advanced Warfare Next Gen Thoughts

There are only a few games out there the get your pulse pumping like the Call of Duty (COD) series. We've all played the heck out of Destiny, and sure, we'll keep going back to that well when we get bored elsewhere. But now we have a few COD Advanced Warfare thoughts for you all. But first, to really understand just how exciting Advanced Warfare is, you need to understand just how terribly disappointing COD Ghosts was on the new modern console.

Random Animation Whimsy

I love little animation vignettes like this one. Just beautifully rendered and hopelessly cute. Makes me want to take animation back up as a pursuit. Regardless. Enjoy. And make sure you try to save a village or two today regardless of whether they are appreciative or not.

Hammock Session Bucket List in the Dolomites

Woah. Ok, so I've been aiming really really low with my bucket list items these days apparently. A trip around the world (which I will be doing again in a week)? Bah. How week is that? Reading War and Peace?!? HAHAHa. Rediculous. That is nothing in comparison to this particular Bucket List item. So, on September 9, 2014, almost two dozen people came together and decided to do a little extreme hammocking in the Dolomites of northeastern Italy.

What A Terrible Trip

What a Terrible Trip - Today I'm heading to Peru. So not a lot of time for a post. But I saw this and I couldn't resist posting it. Does it mean I'm evil because I think this is downright hysterical?

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.
