Here are some pretty awesome looking photographs.  Way more over here at lightmark.de.

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.

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.

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.

Now, onto some ways to stay busy during Jury Duty

1. Bring a Book

A good book, a long book, multiple books, My suggestions include The Harry Potter books, The Ender’s Game books, or Stephen King’s The Stand.  I finished Peter F. Hamilton’s Pandora’s Star, while on Jury Duty, and I must say, it is an amazing book, I’m already 300 pages into the second one Judas Unchained, and I only started it Tuesday.

2. Bring your iPod

I brought mine, it helped me for when I wasn’t sure if we had a 5 minute break, or a 25 minute break, and I didn’t want to start a new chapted of my book.  Also, if you have an iPod Touch, or iPhone, then you can browse the interent.  My county court house has free public WiFi, so I took advantave of that to check my email and stocks.  Why not check Deadly Computer while your at it?

3. Bring your own lunch

We had an hour and a half for lunch, which is a long time, but it’s no fun going in the how sun outside to wait in line somewhere to get food, and then going through the metal dectors, and security again.  Going through once is good enough for me, plus, it will give you an hour and a half to read, or listen to music.

4. Talk to the other jurors

There’s up to 14 of you, make some new friends.  I’m sure you can find something to talk about for at least five minutes.  At the very least, tell them about this awesome website called DeadlyComputer.com, I hear they got amazing stories there!  Besides, you never know there may be someone cute on the jury, and one thing i’ve learned is that you should never give up one of those chances.

5. Nap on breaks

I’m not gonna lie, it gets boring while sitting on a pannel listening to two lawyers argue back and forth for 8 hours.  Especially since you can’t take notes, and, the chairs are pretty uncomfortable.  It’s basically, a version of school, except you get paid.  Many times you will be tempted to doze off while sitting on the jury, don’t the lawyers don’t like that too much.  Save it up for those 10 minute breaks that turn into 25 minute ones.  Paying attention to the trial is important, but, if counting the grains of wood on the molding on the seat in front of you will keep you awake, then do that.  Just try to pay attention in the background to what’s going on.  Look at the lawyers faces.

There, those are my words of advice for keeping yourself busy while on jury duty.  It’s a long, boring process, but it’s necessary, and I actually enjoyed it.  Next month I’ll have my regular scheduled messed up “how to” for all of you who miss it.

Also, I’m off jury duty, more on that tomorrow., enjoy the night
