Lagoa Multiphysics 1.0 – Teaser from Thiago Costa on Vimeo.
I’m no 3-D artist, or game designer, but I can tell you that that has some serious potential.  For the most part it looks entirely realistic, but who knows how much processing power that takes.  And, it looks like this is just a plugin for already [...]

Last night was the Manhattanhenge, the twice yearly event when the setting sun aligns perfectly with the cross streets of Manhattan.  It’s a unique event that is spectacular if you can catch it on the right block.
We did alot of walking from 42nd, to 34th Sts, and 3rd Ave. to 8th Ave.  Ideally you want [...]

It’s like we’re all of a sudden back in the 1950s.  Earlier this week an alleged Russian Spy ring was exposed right in my back yard!
I’m not gonna go into details about this whole thing, that’s not my job, but I will say that I am excited because not only have all the Robert Ludlum [...]

Science Fiction movies get alot of bad publicity for being more fiction, and less science.  Well my friends, that is the problem when “reporters” don’t know how to read.  Because they tend to ignore the “fiction” part of the genera, and only focus on the “science.”  I’m here to remedy this problem. (More so to [...]

Last night I got this email from Lisa, a recruiter working for AFLAC, a fortune 500 Health Insurance Company.  Here is is, exactly as she “wrote” it:

Hello:

Apollo 11 Saturn V Launch (HD) Camera E-8 from Mark Gray on Vimeo.
The Saturn V that launched man into space, and onto the Moon was an impressive rocket, the largest, most powerful vehicle man has produced.  Above is a video of the Apollo 11 launch.  It was recorded at 500 frames per second, and is [...]

There’s something about the middle part of the 1900s that was genuinely awesome.  Could it be the fearlessness of the society, pushing the boundaries of what was possible, and what was not, truly making anything possible?  Or the endless imaginations of everyone, especially concept artists?  I think both, but something about concept futures are inherently [...]

Today is Adolf Hitler’s 121st birthday, and what better way to celebrate then by having a bonfire?!  What are we burning, don’t ask, you don’t wanna be implicated, its better that way.
Anyway, another way to celebrate, how about continuing the alternate reality of Pearl Harbor? Yes, I think that’s fitting, we will explore what could [...]

Not moon sized rockets, model rockets.  And I must say model rocket cars are much more fun to watch compared to moon sized rocket ones.  I must say it’s hilarious!  Of all the cars in the video that were launched, I think i counted 3 that actually drove.  There may have been more, it was [...]

Brings back the Going Green series, or at least finishes it, (probably).  I’d just like to say, that Earth Hour is a waste of time, and I had every thing on, and plugged in my house.
You see, I spent 4 days without electricity last week, and am in no rush to repeat that experience.  So [...]

Listen to the planets make beautiful music.  It takes some trial and error with the tempo (speed) of the planets.  And like a basic music illiterate person, I just tried to line up all the planets, it’s hard, and doesn’t happen often.  I also speed it up real fast to get Pluto all the way [...]
