So we’ve all been totally fine during the pandemic, right? ha… In my case, i’ve gone through about 3 distinct intellectual ringers of annihilation and rebirth (funny enough, a post about that film (more…)
Northern California and San Francisco Bay Area Wild Flower talk!
RULE #1) Steward the land, be conscious, be kind, don’t trample, stay out of popular days or areas, and no instagram entitlement! Rule #2) HAVE FUN! And in doing so, see how many you can identify. This (more…)
I wish Lifeforce was as good as the one sheets and art from the 1985 film.
I guess it’s an example of letting creatives like O’Bannon & Hooper run the show, then? Because it looks 10 years *older* than Alien or Poltergeist, and came out AFTER. That film was a snooze that (more…)
YOU WILL GO TO THE MOON, or using Libration / Lagrangian Points for Lunar Orbit Colonisation
I just stumbled across this… this is so cool. But, it starts to get WAY cooler… My alma mater CU-Boulder designed plans and schematics for a space station: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/19890010809/downloads/19890010809.pdf https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/19890010809 L1 (more…)
Tracking 2020’s content, what we watched, what we’re queueing up in 2021!
Burnt out moment on content, we’re struggling to find stuff we’re excited about. After S5 of Better Call Saul, we’ll be in some trouble. And movies aren’t a thing… we’ve not been able to find and pick (more…)
Relaxing indie video games, Firewatch at 5 years old, and the nuance of video game design.
If Ori and the Willow Wisps is a visually breathtaking and calm take update on Metroid, Moss VR is Zelda as a little, adorable mouse in a beautiful puzzle forest. I absolutely love all these peaceful narrative (more…)
It can always get worse… Half-Life:Alyx and the Key to Happiness.
So, this Half:Life-Alyx dialogue only exist in bits online, and I thought the conversation deserved a post in case anyone’s looking for it, because it took me a bit. I was finding it because of this article (more…)
“Is there life in the universe” isn’t the same question as “have aliens visited us”, to the extent we should also stop using “UFO” to spontaneously assume “Alien Spacecraft”. COME ON PEOPLE!
Is there life out there? Infinite universe. Yup. Do they exist before us? Not likely, as it takes awhile to evolve. Maybe one go round. Have they not existed yet, and we’ll be long dead when (more…)
People fighting the good fight, and who get down on the complexity of our past… sit on and think about this simple lyric.
“Don’t let the past remind us of what we are not now”. I’m thinking this Crosby Stills and Nash lyric is more important now than when they wrote it. I can’t stop thinking about it, so I share it. I’m (more…)
My new flip phone, and why… or “legit no one wants to talk about smartphone addiction because we’re alcoholics that aren’t ready to admit it”
This was about a simple feature on a new smart dumbphone that I am pretty amped about… the phone in general, as well as what it means in general. $60 a month savings, and not losing a thing from modern (more…)
