I’m a massive fan of the scientific method, which I’ll be the first to admit is a strange and vague thing to say. Scientists propose theories, conduct tests and then have their peers (their very smart peers with brains chock full of knowledge) look at their experiments and ideas, and then disagree/ agree/ generally argue…
Some obsessed young fellow, probably single, has spend the last 6 years splicing together actual photos from space missions to make a kind of animated photo flipbook thing that looks like a movie.
To begin with, I have been using something called Code Academy. It is pretty cool so far and you will soon be seeing some astounding changes thanks to what I have learned.
You know that famous old black and white photo of the workmen having lunch on a girder high above Mahattan?
I’ve done it! Five bastard years of broadening my already swollen noggin. A couple of weeks ago I sent off my final essay for my Open University degree in English Language and Literature (with hons). I am now totally educated and shit. It has happened at a weird time though. Some background is needed as…
It’s pretty amazing to see colour video from the 20s and this is even more amazing if you happen to be a Londoner.
Astronaut Chris Hadfield sings Bowie in actual space.
The World’s End is the third film from the guys who brought you (and me), Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.
Oculus Rift was invented by some ‘soon to be a billionaire’ gaming brainy-pants in his garage. It has since been crowd funded. The cool thing is that it doesn’t cost a 100,000quid, it will actually be affordable. Plus, advances in screens and motion sensors have allowed it to be incredible.
As I have mentioned frequently over the last few weeks, I am currently on holiday in Thailand. For some reason this caused a lot of envy-laden comments amongst my Facebook buddies. Bastards. I suppose, to be fair, I had just posted a link to this website from a hammock. Which would annoy me too if…
A trailer for the new Carrie film is out and it looks pretty good. It also looks a lot like the original one. So it’s quite hard to see the point of it except maybe they can do some cooler more gory stuff during the prom scene. Anyway, here it is:
Ok this isn’t Thailand OR beach related. Happy? If you are a trainspotter or a Londoner, you will probably find this pretty cool. It shows the position of every tube train in London. Live. Something even the guys who work in the little booths claim they can’t do when you ask them ‘Where the bollocks…
This post is something of an experiment just to see how brilliant the technology at my disposal is. I’m currently lying in a hammock on the very quiet and quite remote island of Koh Jum in Thailand in the Andaman sea. I bought a cheap smartphone in Hong Kong which I then took to Thailand….
Dear readers, I apologise most profusely for my lack writing. But I do have a pretty awesome excuse. I left my flat of 4 years and had to pack everything in storage. As anyone who has ever moved apartment will know, this was a massive stressful ball-ache. Not just the lifting but calling half of…
Consoles were great multimedia gaming devices and my PC was for toil or writing superb website entries. Recently however, this seems to be changing and it is a change that will be permanent and the end of consoles.
I don’t know who made this or why but basically it is the best of the web (minus porn) volume 4. In HD!
No this isn’t Agatha Christie novel, it’s an art exhibition. About Death. Which was brilliant.
This fanciful dreaming has been inspired by the science-fiction-sounding Deep Space Industries.
An amazing tour of the international space station and observatory.
