Researchers have produced a 20 second audio file which is smaller than one kilobyte. That’s an encryption rate hundreds of times greater than on a standard mp3 file. But what makes the file most interesting is that it’s a reproduction rather than a recording. The audio in question is a 20 second playing clarinet solo. […]
We all know it; we are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have a decade to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of our planet’s climate. The stakes are high for us and our children. HOME is an ode to the planet’s beauty […]
Yesterday evening, while idly browsing the web, I stumbled upon the video of a Scottish rapper named “TheChielMeister”. Apart from being totally unintelligible to my ear (Can anyone translate what he says in the comments?), the guy made me think of Half-life 2’s Father Grigori. Check him out below!

Did you know that chipmunks are not native to planet Earth? In fact, they come from a very distant galaxy, and were encountered a long, long time ago by soldiers of an evil empire who used the docile mounts to roam around forested planets. Ok, ok, I just made that up. I thought it would […]
As far as I know, no Green Lantern movie is presently in the works, but an industrious fan thought that one should be, so he turned his vision into reality by producing this awesome trailer. [Via BuzzFeed]
By Casey Lynn Contributing Writer, [GAS] Could Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans’ dreams of the series coming to the big screen finally be true? Well, as the saying goes, be careful what you wish for. You may recall that Buffy didn’t originate with the television series in 1997, but rather with a really terrible 1992 […]
By Casey Lynn Contributing Writer, [GAS] You may recall that last Fall we gave you the heads-up on some new, potentially geeky TV shows. Of course, as a whole that batch didn’t fare so well; Eleventh Hour, Life on Mars, My Own Worst Enemy, and Knight Rider (shocker!) all got the ax. Only two turned […]
