Geek Theatre vs Nerd Resolution

Pirates vs Ninjas?

Trek vs Wars?

The battles rage on.

These personalized home theater systems are bit geekier than even I, a comics fan, may care to admit. But I must concede to the universal turth. These Ultimate Geek Accessories look pretty fucking cool

I'm a Wars guy, of course. But the Trek system has better chairs and a
freaking bar.

Those Star Wars people made it hard to remain faithful to the cause.

While you continue the debate out of my earshot, go eat some turkey and apologize to your fellow indigenous brothers and sisters.

Then eat more turkey and fall asleep.

That's how Americans celebrate proper.

Eat out.

NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN Redband Trailer Ruins Me for other Movies

I thought I knew what a movie trailer was until I viewed this red band trailer for the Coen Bros new movie NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN.

On top of that, Rotten Tomatoes has a 95% fresh rating for their latest effort. If you're into that kind of thing.

The NCFOM official site has better sound and all that. It makes me wonder. Have the Coens decided to kick ass again?

That's Stephen Colbert, Saving Your Public Schools

By your public schools I mean South Carolina.

When Colbert announced last month that he was running for president, the Charleston native and host of Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report" also asked viewers to give to DonorsChoose.org, which helps fulfill teacher wish lists for books, globes or other classroom materials in schools in the United States.

"So I encourage everyone, go on, make donations to teachers in South Carolina, let's make a difference," Colbert said.

The brief comment by the 43-year-old talk-show host who has since dropped his bid for the White House raised $59,000 in 10 days and reached 13,000 public school students in South Carolina, said Peter Bloom, the group's national chairman.

Colbert being on strike isn't one of them. The Suits need to get off thir butts and pay people what they're owed. I'm missing my Daily Show/Colbert Report one-two punch.

FREE: "A Study in Emerald" by Neil Gaiman

It *looks* like Halloween but it *feels* like Christmas.

Alluding to both the Sherlock Holmes canon and the Old Ones of the Cthulhu Mythos, this Hugo Award winning short story will delight fans of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, H.P. Lovecraft, and of course, Neil Gaiman. A Study in Emerald draws listeners in through carefully revealed details as a consulting detective and his narrator friend solve the mystery of a murdered German noble. But with its subtle allusions and surprise ending, this mystery hints that the real fun in solving this case lies in imagining all the details that Gaiman doesn’t reveal, and challenges listeners to be detectives themselves.

Let Colbert be Colbert and Possibly President

Stephen Colbert's running for president in his home state as a "favorite son" and on the Democrat and Republican ticket.

Exactly how far the mock conservative pundit planned to stretch his impression of a presidential candidate wasn't clear. Colbert rarely breaks character on camera, including at his memorable speech at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner last year.

The Comedy Central host has often mobilized his fans ("Colbert Nation"), encouraging them to vote to have a Hungarian bridge named after him, for example, or to vandalize Web site Wikipedia.com with his version of "truthiness" and "wikiality."

[...]

In a guest column for Maureen Dowd in Sunday's New York Times, Colbert wrote: "I am not ready to announce yet — even though it's clear that the voters are desperate for a white, male, middle-aged, Jesus-trumpeting alternative."

I can't figure if the man is brilliant in that Rain Man kind of way, or if he's insane in that Easy Rider Dennis Hopper kind of way.

(via pretty much every damn where)

Update: A row of videos on the matter and ONTD declares that Colbert is their official favorite son.

Burly-Man Hawking Experienced Zero Gravity via the Vomit Comet

Hawking did this in the interest to nudge private space ventures forward.

Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking floated free in zero gravity Thursday, becoming the first person with a disability to have the experience.

The zero-gravity flight in a modified jet creates the experience of microgravity during 25-second plunges -- called parabolas -- over the Atlantic Ocean.

"It was amazing," Hawking, paralyzed by a progressive neurological disorder, said afterward through an electronic device.

"The zero-G part was wonderful and the full-G part was no problem. I could have gone on and on.

"Space, here I come."

[...]

"We consider ... having him weightless for 25 seconds is a successful mission," Peter Diamandis, chairman and CEO of Zero Gravity, said before the flight. "If we do more than one, fantastic."

Urged on by Hawking's smiles after the first parabola, they did seven more, Diamandis said afterward.

"He was doing gold-medalist gymnastics in zero G," Diamandis said.

Hawking has an ulterior motive for going on the flight other than the personal thrill of weightlessness -- he believes in the importance of private space ventures and the need to reduce the cost of space tourism so that it is accessible to more people.

[...]

"Professor Hawking reached for the sky and touched the heavens today."

FOUND: Super Earth, 'Goldilocks,' is Better than Porridge

She has a possiblity of holding Earth-like atmosphere. Which means water and all those good things. And she has a red dwarf star to boot.

For the first time, astronomers have spotted a cosy alien planet that might be hospitable to life. The planet is not much bigger than the Earth, and it enjoys balmy temperatures of about 20° C (68° F) as well as spectacular scarlet sunsets.

"It's the smallest, lightest planet known at this time," says Stéphane Udry from the Geneva Observatory in Switzerland. "And it's just at the right distance from its star for liquid water to possibly exist on its surface."

[...]

"If you take an average value for the amount of starlight heating the planet, you get something like 20° C," Udry told New Scientist. That's similar to the average temperature in New York City, US, in June.

Astronomers have discovered "super-Earths" slightly larger than this one before. However, they are either too hot or too cold for liquid water to exist. The smallest world circling Gliese 581 is a "Goldilocks" planet with the conditions just right for potential life.

Whether DEADLY SPACE BEARS are present is not yet known.

The Celebrated Miracles of Patron Saint Neil Gaiman

One of the better April Fool's of 2007 that I've seen thus far.

"First, we have a report of a signing at DreamHaven Books, where by mistake his publisher had only shipped one 20 book carton of Anansi Boys, but into which the Venerable Gaiman had reached his hand again and again to pull out book after book, until all 500 patrons had received their copies, all of which were first printings and entirely free of shipping damage."

Bertoli noted that the second miracle involved a girl in Los Angeles who had been cured of her terminal cancer after a copy of Volume 9 of The Collected Sandman (The Kindly Ones) had been laid against her brow. Finally, Bertoli said he had documented proof that Gaiman had single-handedly fed all of Paraguay in 1987.

"Truly the Holy Ghost works though the Venerable Gaiman's hands."

Apple's iTunes and EMI Nixes DRM for the Right Price

And when I say "for the right price" I'm being only partly snarky. About 32% to be exact. This wonderful news has trickled down from 7d and various other sources. I chose Suicide Girls to be my link harbor.

Apple today announced that EMI Music's entire digital catalog of music will be available for purchase DRM-free (without digital rights management) from the iTunes Store worldwide in May.

DRM-free tracks from EMI will be offered at higher quality 256 kbps AAC encoding, resulting in audio quality indistinguishable from the original recording, for just $1.29 per song. In addition, iTunes customers will be able to easily upgrade their entire library of all previously purchased EMI content to the higher quality DRM-free versions for just 30 cents a song

I may be proven wrong in the future, but in the right now a 30 cent increase for better quality non Big Brothered music seems a fair deal.

Concord Grape Juice + Super Soaker = Velociraptor Doom

In case you have not noticed I have an insatiable love of dinosaurs. If I had my way, we'd all worship the mighty Supersaurus and its bloodlust for vegetation.

XKCD.COM has irrational velociraptor fear. And Daniel Snyder, PhD has seen fit to provide a homemade dromeosaurid deterrant for our fair hero XKCD.COM

Thus, I recommend you carry around a loaded SuperSoaker filled with Concord grape juice. Fresh-squeezed would be ideal, but from concentrate should be effective as well. This will not only have the theoretical asset of protecting you from Velociraptor, it will have the pragmatic asset of protecting you from thirst.
