July 12, 2015 Stuart

Superman: Red Son is a graphic novel (168 page comic) that reimagines how things would have played out if Superman landed in the communist Soviet Union instead of the USA. I LOVED it! Read More

Orphan Black Blu-Ray

Must See TV: Orphan Black Season 1

June 3, 2013 Stuart

Orphan Black’s first season ended this past Saturday, and wow what a great season it’s been. It’s a strange show – a kind of sci-fi drama – that was filmed in Canada and aired on BBC America. Season 2 is set to run with 10 new episodes in 2014, but you have plenty of time […]

Huge Letdown: No US Navy Ships at New York Fleet Week this Year

April 23, 2013 Stuart

Sequestration – a string of wide-reaching mandatory federal budget cuts – has led to delays at many US airports, as FAA personnel are forced to take furloughs. Flight delays? I can deal with that. But what I’m having trouble accepting is that 2013 New York Fleet Week is going to be minimized this year. It was […]

Scott Kelby’s The Digital Photography Book Part 4

May 1, 2012 Stuart

I’m a huge fan of Scott Kelby’s digital photography book series. They’re not so much technical guides as they are practical how-to and tip guides. The 4th volume just came out a few weeks ago, and early reviews seem to be quite positive. You can order a paperback copy for less than $15, and a […]

New Avengers and Spiderman Trailers!

February 9, 2012 Stuart

Sweeeeet. What I’m wondering is who the baddies are in the movie. It’s clear that Loki is a bad guy, but who’s flying those pod-like spaceship/aircraft things? http://youtu.be/X46IidjdYKA The new spiderman looks… interesting. With this one, I’ll probably check the reviews before heading to see it.

Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity in an Easy-to-Follow Video from 1923

December 27, 2011 Stuart

The folks at adafruit shared this video they found of a 1923 presentation that explains Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. I watched the ~20-minute video, and found it to be both entertaining and enlightening. It will make you think, but only a little bit.

Astonishing X-Men: Gifted, the Motion Comic

November 1, 2011 Stuart

Astonishing X-Men: Gifted is a motion comic based off of a graphic novel of the same name. After watching through the 6 short episodes (~11 minutes each), I find myself craving for more. The story is mostly centralized around a newfound “mutant cure,” and full of action and drama. The motion comic visual styling is a bit […]

Praying Mantis Eating an Insect’s Head – Video

October 10, 2011 Stuart

AVS forum and YouTube member lucasberg put up this macro video of a praying mantis. If you’re short of time, fast forward to points 3:25, where the mantis catches a flying insect, and then at about 6:30, where the mantis proceeds to go all Thanksgiving feast on its prey. I have to say, the video is pretty […]

Space Marine (Video Game)

September 29, 2011 Stuart

The newest video game in the Warhammer 40K universe is Space Marine, a 3rd person shooter. Well it’s more of a 3rd person combat game, I wouldn’t really call it a strict shooter. There is a LOT of melee in this game. The premise is simple, you’re a Space Marine, and there are hordes of […]

Before & After: How to Design Cool Stuff

September 27, 2011 Stuart

I was checking out some of the new web-design books at the local bookstore when I came across Before & After: How to Design Cool Stuff by John McWade. The title of the book and look of the cover made me cringe a little, but I took a moment to browse through the book. A bit […]

(B4, I Sunk Your) Battleship Trailer – Yes, Really

September 1, 2011 Stuart

Somehow, the creative minds in Hollywood decided to explore the idea of making more board game-inspired movies. Are board games even popular anymore? While this new Battleship trailer looks reasonably promising, I can’t quite take it seriously knowing what the plot is based off of. The only board game-inspired movie that comes to mind is […]
