Scientists, Tesla coils, and Super Mario
This is a major geek out but it combines science and video games. I have no idea how they did this buy I am incredibly impressed.
Thanks to Tranism from Electroplankton for the heads up.
His Dark Materials
In the trailers before Stardust we saw the trailer for the Golden Compass (known to Brits as Northern Lights), the (first?) movie of the first book from the 'His Dark Materials' trilogy by Philip Pullman.
I was already quite interested in the film, and finding out that Weta (think Lord of the Rings trilogy) are doing the special effects makes me even more so.
The comments on the ...
Top Gear – 1964 Peel P50
Anyone else see this on Sundays episode of Top Gear. We got to talking about it in the office today so I thought I would look it up and post it here. Basically Jeremy Clarkson tries out the 1964 Peel P50. It's not the type of high end sports car they normally feature but he seems to love it... and I laughed all the way through the entire thing. In fact watching it again just now set me off all ...
Wall-E from Pixar
The similarities with Johnny 5 are obvious but I don't care - and I always loved that film (Short Circuit) anyway.
I also think that Pixar are one of the best film studios in the world. Their movies have a sense of heart and feeling that others can't touch.
More info on Wall-E is available at IMDB.
Incredible Machine
I've seen a few of these before but never one as long and complex as this. I can't imagine the patience it must have taken to put it all together.
Inspirational speech
This has done the rounds a bit lately but it really is inspirational so I had to publish it again. A US Computer Science professor, Randy Pausch has recently completed one of his last lectures (maybe THE last). He has a terminal illness, with only a few months left to live, and talks openly about how he feels. You have to see it to understand but it really is inspiring stuff. The things this man has accomplished are amazing, and ...
A Lego production line building Lego cars
A Lego machine that makes Lego machines? Genius!
I loves me some Lego, and this production line that creates Lego cars is fabulous. I'm amazed that someone would spend the time creating Lego that builds Lego - and in this scale.
Note the way they chose the colour of the parts at the start of the clip. It's a little slow so you may want to fast forward occasionally, but ...
Legend of Zelda Symphony
My love of Zelda extends to the music.I do actually have a Zelda album on CD. I got it on the cover of a magazine a couple of years ago, but this music is wonderful. Hearing the overland theme is so stirring it's indescribable.
I've watched this at least 10 times now. Wonderful!
Rocket Boards is a super fast 3D rocket boarding action. My first "commercial" (shareware) product. Didn't do amazingly well but was a good learning experience
Bubble Bomb is a polished update of a game originally built by Warren Marshal (who works at Epic games - developers of Unreal and Gears of War)
My own update of Bubble Bomb, Bubble Blitz was almost a total rewrite adding loads of new features and a shiny new look.
Seths Puzzle Boxes is a puzzle game with a surprisingly enjoyable story line, unfortunately it's quite short so won't take long to complete, but while it lasts is great fun.
