First, here are my posts from this week:
- Favorite Books – A discussion and a bit of reminiscing on my favorite books as a kid.
- Old Game Tuesday – SimCity 2000 – Reticulating Splines.
- Movie Review: Green Lantern – The lantern (not Hal) has better screen presence than Blake Lively.
And a few new things you might find interesting:
Wired’s GeekDad column tells parents what they need to know about Cars 2. Sounds better than what I’m expecting to be honest, and I’m from a place that worships at the altar of NASCAR.
Also at Wired, the Sun has sent a Coronal Mass Ejection towards Earth. The phrase ‘Coronal Mass Ejection’ just sounds awesome to me.
Netflix is now on a few select Android devices, with more to come.
Lifehacker has a whole series of Night School posts – they take a subject and give a layman the basics to improve themselves at it. The current series is about photography, including how best to use the automated and manual settings on a camera, helping to understand ISO and aperture settings, and the like. They’ve also covered video editing.
New trend in movie posters – Diagonal!
Finally, looking back on old posts here I found this: the Ultra-fast, Ultra-intense Laser. The applications they are looking at for this tech are awesome, whether it’s bonding replacement joints to bone, killing cancer cells, or, you know, creating Wolverine.
Nice featured media there!
