Crater Calculator

This is a very nice, fun, interesting, and overall destructive little interactive flash Meteor Impact Calculator.
I’ve spent the better part of an hour making various sizes, and speeds, and angles, and types of rock to see what happens, and, so far in all of them, I am dead.  Oh well, the world’s gonna end anyway, [...]

Craters, Lots of them

Ever wanted to see what the solar system does to earth?  Well, geology.com has a nice Google Maps set up with locations of many meteor impact craters on earth.  Most are not very vissable due to errosion and ovegrowth, but a few stand out.

Movie Title Screens

Well, If you ever wanted to see the title screen any of over a thousand different movies, Steven Hill’s Movie Title Screen Page is for you.
There are literally over 1000 differnet movies, and more being added often.  Many have different forms, like Laserdisc, and DVD, and Blu-Ray.  I didn’t see and HD-DVD, but there were [...]

Indiana Jones 4 script

Well, I enjoyed Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull, some other people didn’t apparently.  Mostly the writer of this abridged script.  I’ll admit, its pretty funny, and this is my favorite part:

KAREN ALLEN
Cate wants to return the Crystal MacGuffin to the ancient City of Gold.
HARRISON FORD
City of Gold? Isn’t that what Nicolas [...]

The shield will be down in moments…

…you may start your landing.
Whoever this is officially has the greatest wireless network name ever.  The only thing I ask of you is if you are out there, send us an email.  Because we want a picture of it with no encryption for just a second so we can say “The shield is down!”
Oh, and [...]

The Zune Car

While waiting inline at the Apple Store in SoHo last night to see Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway promote their new movie Get Smart, this car passed by which clearly has the Zune logo on it’s spare wheel cover, and on the side window.  Clearly that person is obsessed.
Here’s a bonus picture of me and [...]

Loud music + car airbags
