Ponderings For 2008-09-22
posted in Ponderings |- You’ve gotta check out this hilarious (and very impressive) editing work to create Robocop vs The Terminator… Here’s episode 1, then episode 2, then the trailer for episode 3.
- Looks like my new AT&T U-Verse service will be making a jump from 2 to 3 simultaneous HD streams.
- An interesting collection of WWII security posters
- Great. Crank 2 is described by Statham himself as “Most Offensive.” If it truly is Crank 1 times 1000, as he says, this sequel will be the worst piece of narrative ever made, of any kind. Surely no worst book, song, movie, painting or sand castles built by a 2 year old could be combined together to be even 1/10 as bad as “Crank 1 times 1000.”
- Another collection of excellent HDR photos
- “Kitten Of War” - great photo
- Here’s a very cool panoramic shot wrapping all the way around from the top of Everest
- Here’s a cool photo of the shuttle breaking the sound barrier
- And speaking of cool shuttle pictures, I took a high res version of Atlantis & Endeavour on their neighboring launch pads, amazingly accompanied by a rainbow, and made a 1920×1200 resolution widescreen wallpaper from it:
