Here’s a great little video which has a Sales Guy vs. a web dude. I love how he’s playing Halo throughout it all anyway. Oh, and the way the icons are on the desktop is priceless.
It can’t be done you say?! Well, if you freeze it, then yes, you can indeed climb it. Anyway, that’s kinda crazy, I agree with the guys at Odidty Central, you gotta be really crazy to want to climb a frozen waterfall. They make for some really damn pretty pictures though.
I mean, look at that, it’s beautiful, I could probably spend all day moving around taking pictures there!
I’m sure there’s some underwire structure to these plant sculptures, but regardless they are pretty neat. I really like the fountain hand one above, but the crying person, that’s my favorite i think:
I like the purple flowers, and the way it’s vertical on the wall, it’s pretty cool, and nice looking. I wish i knew what type of plants they used, and more importantly, where this is, cause I want to visit.
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, at least I’ll have a front row seat!
Here’s an example i went through:
3300m wide, 27 degree angle, 30km/s, rock hitting rock.
That’s a decent sized crater, 770meters deep, and a 9 on the Richter scale, not bad i’d say.
Deeper then The Empire State Building though, that’s tough.
I’d wager that I probably wouldn’t have survived, i mean, I’m mostly covered in 3rd degree burns and whatnot. Oh well, at least it only happens ever 18 million years or so.
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.
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 a few betas.
Here are a few screens I picked out from movies I like.
Sky Captain is in 1080p
There are many, many more over at his site, all organized by title. There are quite a few classics, and ones from before the 1950s. Also, if there’s one you love that’s not there, you can submit it yourself.
Well, given my recent time on Jury Duty over the past week, I figured I would give you guys a few pointers as to how to stay occupied while you’re sitting, waiting for something to do. Also, given that I was on Jury Duty, I didn’t deem it prudent to come up with a post on “How to kill everyone” so my current How to list is on the back burner for next month, where I will hopefully have some time to make it better.
Now, onto some ways to stay busy during Jury Duty
So, with Jury Duty for the past week and a half, i fell behind in making this month’s How To list. Fear not, I will get it up before the end of the month, but just not tomorrow. Forgive me.
Also, I’m off jury duty, more on that tomorrow., enjoy the night
I don’t eat cake much, unless its plain white, with nothing in it, and little/no frosting, but, i do recognize the work that goes into these cakes made in Russia. Look at the detail in the Map one. That’s insane!
