My post from a few weeks ago, detailing why I’d decided to switch to a PC from a Mac, really got some of your blood boiling. While there were a few folks utterly aghast at my decision to nix the shiny world of Apple for the starker, more sterile world of Microsoft, on the whole, […]
I remember watching the CGI animated cartoon series ReBoot as a kid and being blown away by the quality of the animation. Of course, by today’s standards, that type of 3D modeling can be done by your average college student. I guess this is one of those “back in my day” type of things for […]
TV is quickly becoming my favorite form of media delivery these days, with film taking the back seat by a mile. I’d far prefer getting invested in a series than putting all my hopes and dreams in a few hours of film, only to come up disappointed and upset that I can’t actually get my […]
A few days ago, we wrote about Samus Aran parading at a burlesque show somewhere in LA, and now, here she is dressed as a bunny. But “why would Samus wear something as ridiculous as bunny ears” I hear you ask. And the answer is: this particular incarnation of Samus Aran is cosplayed by Jessica […]
Robot Art? Yes, indeed, you read that right. Starting October 23, 2010, visitors to MASS MoCA in North Adams, MA, are in for a big surprise: a work of art conceived and created without human hands. From designbloom: …diaz’s ‘geometric death frequency—141’, a sculpture made from 420,000 black spheres made and assembled by robotics. the […]
Goodbye, Prius. If you’re the kind of geek who’s been waiting for a hybrid concept to come along that really turns heads, you’re in luck. Today, as part of its 75th anniversary, Jaguar has released one humdinger of a concept car that’s not only drop-dead gorgeous and energy efficient, but it goes fast, my friends. […]
One of geekdom’s ultimate fantasy women, Metroid star Samus Aran, was recently seen in various stages of undress at a burlesque show in L.A. For those of you with sensitive eyes, don’t worry, you won’t see Samus (as performed by Courtney Cruz of The Devil’s Playground) completely naked in this post, just very lightly clad. […]
It’s a rarely disputed fact among the geek contingent that conventions, by and large, are a kind of rite of passage. (If you haven’t gotten the convention achievement, you really should get on that, by the way.) And what’s not to love? There are as many conventions these days as there are fandoms, all across […]
The 80’s were a fertile time for film making, but there are few cult classics from that era that have such a resonating impact as The Ghostbusters, Gremlins and The Goonies. That’s why 1988 Gallery in Los Angeles is having the 3G Show which is going to feature pieces inspired by these iconic cult classic […]
Science fiction and animation are a natural combination. It’s a hell of a lot cheaper to draw an alien landscape covered in space ships than it is to create one in a studio. Too often forgotten as just “kid’s stuff”, there have been some truly excellent cartoons that combine science fiction and animation in absolutely […]
