Ponderings For 2008-09-29

posted in Ponderings |
  • OK, three more reviews added today, 2 newer and one older. I hope to keep them coming for a while.
  • Bear McCreary continues his impressive posts to his official blog. This time, he’s doing an interview with genius composer Bruce Broughton, relating it to his short experience scoring a brief cartoon sequence in a recent Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles episode.
  • Now here’s one insanely impressive cruise ship. Yikes.
  • Here’s an interesting bit of history involving the vast tunnels that Hitler and Albert Speer were working on when WWII broke out. It’d be an interesting piece of history to visit.
  • Speaking of interesting (and disturbing) pieces of history, here’s one on the ol’ Russian gulags, “then and now.”
  • I’m sure I’ve mentioned them before on this site, but if you’ve never checked out writer/producer Chuck Lorre’s web site, where he archives all his “vanity cards” from over his many years producing TV, you’re missing a lot of fun. Having just watched today’s episode of The Big Bang Theory (a very funny show), his vanity card for this one was amusing. It stated that “Tonight’s vanity card is about censorship. It was censored. As always, you know where to look.” Yes, us fans know where to look (his web site, of course), which revealed his amusingly censored card for the week (surely just a joke in being censored). If you’ve never dug through the cards on his site, you can sit there for hours reading them all. Some of them are insanely hilarious. And he semi-recently passed up the 200 mark on his insane collection of them.
  • Here’s another excellent collection of HDR photos
  • Of course, the big news of today was the $700 billion Wall Street bailout being shot down. I rarely talk politics on this site, but I was in favor of shooting it down. I’m with Ron Paul on this one. And for those who want to deny the length of history to this issue, and simply blame the Bush administration for all of it because that’s the popular thing to do, there’s articles like this.
