  • Twenty-Five Extremely Impressive Lego Builds

    When I first saw some of the new shapes Lego was making, I kind of felt like it was cheating. When I was a kid, I didn’t have to walk to school, 37 miles, barefoot, through the snow, uphill, both ways, as the joke goes (or did, before it was beaten to death, but that’s…

  • Panavision The Babes Strike Back

    Yoda, Jabba the Hutt, Chewbacca as, um, babes. Oh, and Darla Vader. Watch it.

  • The Phantom Menace in the Style of 1950s Panavision.

    A couple of weeks ago, I came across a trailer for Star Wars done in this style. As seems fitting, it was a bit better than the trailer for the Phantom Menace, but this one is still pretty amusing. They nailed the stylings.

  • Have I Mentioned That I Love the Babylon Bee, Lately?

  • 60 Seconds of Magic

    After the guy finishes, he says it has to be worth a like and a share, and I agree with him. It’s 60 seconds well-spent.

  • Climate Science

    Climate science is an interesting topic. It’s extremely in-depth, people get very passionate about it. The biggest problem I have with it is that the people who are the most passionate, the most convinced that there is a problem, 1) Claim that the science is settled while more information floods in and 2) don’t even…

  • Star Wars in Super Panavision!

    I’ll let this trailer speak for itself.

  • Flinging Satellites into Space

    So this is kind of awesome. This company is trying a new approach to putting satellites into orbit. Instead of burning hundreds of thousands of gallons of rocket fuel (the video claims it’s fifteen-thousand gallons per second, which adds up quickly) for a rocket launch, they’re accelerating the launch vehicle at high speeds on the…
