Remember that DDR picnic from way long ago? Well a guy got his pictures developed and uploaded to the web, and so there is now yet another picture of me out on the internet (scary isn't it?). I'm the incredibly sexy and handsome (and avaliable *wink wink*) person here. What? You can't pick me out? Well I'm the guy in the black shirt looking all hot like. Yeah...... THAT one. Notice the nifty ThinkGeek shirt..... awwwww yeah

Coming soon to a future near you: Augmented Reality. I've mentioned/ranted about it before on here, but this article makes it worthy of a second mentioning. Briefly it's just "enhancing" reality by adding some graphical information or text to what you're viewing with your eyes, similiar to a heads-up display in a cockpit. It's still in the beginning stages, but it's only a matter of time till it's perfected. And then everyone will not being seeing a "true" reality anymore, but a "better" reality. It's science fiction come alive.

I saw the world premere of a movie today, though of course not a major studio movie. No, it was a student produced movie that was shot docu-drama style about explorers discovering "usa" and the culture of the "usans". It covered how there were 2 competing curriences: the copper and the silver. And how the "bearded one" opposed usa principles since its face is in the opposite direction of the silver coins. It also went into our religious alters found in every house in the biggest room (think: TV's) with sitting areas in front. And our giant sundial (Washington Monument) in the Monument City (Washington DC). On the whole it was a nice funny look at how archologists can be coming to totally wrong conclusions based on the stuff they find, and while it seemed the filmmakers were really streching for idea's at times, I enjoyed it for the most part. That is one thing I've always wondered though, is what if the pyramids in Egypt were really like hotels or something? Or maybe they were just built as tourist attractions for ancient egyptians to take their families to on 3 day weekends.....

Quick Episode 2 article. Less Jar Jar, less merchandising, and more Star Wars.

One question math tests are not cool. Not cool at all.
