I was going through my dual boot PCs to note down their partition structures before I install an update of Mint KDE. Anyway, I got to the RecRoom PC and noticed that I had CoolVL Viewer installed so I checked it out again. Went to Pavonia in SL, and followed the railway trackto about http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Clearwing/243/87/86.
That feeling, when the scenery doesn't keep up with the rate of your travel, and everything seems smooth and pristine, only because stuff hasn't been rezzed yet! I know it well.

I've been watching Star Trek IV this morning.
I've been watching Star Trek IV this morning. This and "The Search for Spock" were shown as a double feature on GEM last Saturday, and it's only now I've got around to watching it. It really is the old Trek film I enjoy MOST. All the characters get good roles, and the scenes play to their strengths rather than their flaws ("Medievalism!").

I feel a bit like the Speaker of the House in the film "Mr Smith goes to Washington" today, eating peanuts and watching chaos erupts in the legislature at the end of the film.
Only it's all been about the new Doctor, eh? I think the choice of actor has been a masterstroke for the new showrunner, because whether people like it or don't, they'll probably be watching both the Xmas Special and the first episode of series 11, just to see her act. If only people were so involved in our day to day issues. Imagine what could be done!
#DoctorWho
Only it's all been about the new Doctor, eh? I think the choice of actor has been a masterstroke for the new showrunner, because whether people like it or don't, they'll probably be watching both the Xmas Special and the first episode of series 11, just to see her act. If only people were so involved in our day to day issues. Imagine what could be done!

I have to admit that I've never read this book, but I have seen the film adaptation. That seemed like a blatant copy of Star Wars' "A New Hope", except set in a fantasy setting. Watch it and see if you disagree.

Likewise, the three Danny Peary books have some great reviews of both awesome and weird (and often both) films. Of course there's bound to be more cult films out there by now. There is also a bit of overlap with the Golden Turkey Awards.

The show must go on, these people have paid

The fog sweeps down over the marine city
Standing backstage trying to pull on your shoes

There was a time when without photography, scientific publications relied on the efforts or artists to illustrate their subjects. This illustration of a flea by Robert Hooke shows attention to detail. It's hard to imagine the time spent on creating this.According to the Micrographia Wikipedia page...
Hooke built up his images from numerous observations made from multiple vantage points, under varying lighting conditions, and with lenses of differing powers. Similarly his specimens required a great deal of manipulation and preparation in order to make them visible through the microscope.!!!

Portable Telephones (1930s)
Portable Telephones (1930s)
While they're a lot more unwieldy than the super-slim smartphones we all use today, this prediction of portable telephones certainly isn't too far off the mark considering it was made in the early 20th century.
Featuring two women talking to their friends/families whilst the images of those they're in conversation with are beamed to them on a small, circular screen, this drawing is similar to the Facechat/Skype calls we enjoy today, only more awkward looking. Also, bonus points to the illustrator for depicting these two individuals sitting opposite one another, yet being more concerned with looking at their portable telephones. Now that's accurate.
