Timelines for Time Travel in Popular Culture

March 11th, 2010 | Category: Geekery at its best!

Over at Information is Beautiful, they have generated a visual timeline of how science fiction movies interact with each other. It is quite interesting to see all the paradoxes in the timelines, and yet funniest is the Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure follow through. I have included a copy of the image, but you are probably best off going to their website to see it in all its glorious detail!

Always have to love the combo of Fantasy and Current World

March 10th, 2010 | Category: Geekery at its best!

Most of the time, XKCD’s comics are way too high brow for the normal person to understand (and I actually lump myself into that group!), but today’s just really struck a funny chord with me. Just think, mixing Sauron and Beyonce in the same comic takes skill, just pure skill!

It appears Doctor Who isn’t just fiction

March 05th, 2009 | Category: Geekery at its best!

…considering the head of the Doctor’s arch nemesis was found in a lake in the UK!

Dalek Found in Beulieu

Marc Oakland was cleaning a pond in Hampshire when he stumbled the head of a Dalek…the famous enemy of the UK’s Doctor Who television series. To me, this proves one of two things…either this is a leftover prop from the show that gone thrown in the swamp, or the Daleks really do exist and this is one that got lost and died in the swamp. I vote for the latter…which makes me scared, really scared.

Britain Flight Patterns

February 21st, 2009 | Category: Geekery at its best!

I saw this video and was quite impressed. I never thought about the GPS embedded in planes to capture latitude, longitude as well as altitude. Capturing those and then tracking them all with a global satellite image has created quite a unique video.

This post is dedicated to my lovely wife

…who is the world’s biggest coffee addict. See what it can do to you! (For the younger crowd, there is a bit of foul language)

Do you get the feeling that Mother Nature knows what she wants to look like

February 12th, 2009 | Category: Geekery at its best!

…especially when she forms trees in her image, similar to how God formed man? Or maybe this is one of the long lost Ent Wives that were lost so long ago in Middle Earth.

Back to the grindstone with the blog

February 10th, 2009 | Category: Geekery at its best!

Now that I know that I have at least TWO fans, I might motivate myself to spend a bit more time on the blog. It’s been close to a year since I started, and although I was mostly faithful to the one-a-day post, I’ve gotten pretty lax as of late.

So, to kick things back up in style, I now present to you, the world’s most disgusting slide. Sad to say, it appears there are at least two version of the same “themed slide”. Let your kids enjoy this one!

Elephant Slide...weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Just a quick post about a Trekkie’s favorite movie…

February 09th, 2009 | Category: Geekery at its best!

Robot Chicken, one of the best shows ever, did an “operatic” version of “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan”. In remembrance of Ricardo Montalbán, enjoy this short little video clip.

Another good guide for parenting

January 16th, 2009 | Category: Geekery at its best!

…given by the funny people at XKCD! They now give you their guide on how to have a contingency plan if you should happen to have a child rotten to the core. There are ALWAYS options, and this just provides another if you go with their “Jurassic Park” approach!
