    Your top movies of the year

    Oh god, Tree of Life was painful to watch. I really wish I had walked out. It deserves to be remembered only in mockery.

    prometheus (2012, ridley scott)

    It's not amazing what you miss when a scene is flashed on the screen for a fraction of a second.

    Louis CK: Live at the Beacon Theater

    It's not the simple interface, it's the back end that can keep track user payments and deliver up fast bandwidth for all that download traffic.

    Louis CK: Live at the Beacon Theater

    Watched it. Some funny bits, some filler bits. I didn't LOL at any of it though. About half of the jokes are about masturbation. I don't think I would pay more than $5 for it.

    Hugo 8/10. Pretty cool movie. Gave me the impression that it was smart. 3d is only worth it to see the classic movie footage in 3d. Had a long argument with GF about whether Johnny Depp was the guitar player. Apparently he wasn't, but I still kind of think he was.

    Air Force dumped remains of 274 troops in landfill

    Hey mom and pop, here is a piece of a thumb and some ear that might be your son's or might be another solider or some random Afghani civilian, or maybe a part of a dog that was in the wrong place.

    Air Force dumped remains of 274 troops in landfill

    When a bunch of human bodies get turned into gumbo who's family do you notify about what you do with the cleanup?

    So if you put a plane on a treadmill..

    Another way to wrap your head around it is to imagine two infinitely long gear racks with some relative motion in between them. The ground would be the bottom gear rack and the wind would be the top gear rack. If you grab onto either gear rack with a gear of your own, and connect them by a gear...

    My cabbage grew another cabbage

    A year in the back of a fridge that sees sunlight for only 1 minute of every day. I think I will try to find a coffee can and see if this thing will grow for real. If so I'm never buying cabbage again. That's like $3 of saving each and every year. I am the 99%

    My cabbage grew another cabbage

    I was making dinner tonight and went to way into the back of the fridge and found a really old cabbage. Low and behold, it had gotten itself pregnant with another cabbage. It just grew right out of the old mouldy one. Now I have fresh cabbage and it's been over half a year since I bought...

    Ides of March 8/10 It was pretty good, not amazing, but a good simple story. I also liked Michael Clayton and Syrianna though, so maybe I am biased towards GC productions.

    Bitcoin mining

    So a while after reading this thread, I picked up $60 of bitcoins to play around with. I can't say for sure why or what use they have. I don't know of anything useful I can spend them on except maybe for donations to organizations cut off from Paypal like Feed the Protest of Wikileaks. I might...

    Double Fine is pretty awesome

    How is that elitist? Am I part of a select group of people who holds disproportionate power over others? If anything, Stern, the man who rolled over his post count, is the elite party in this argument, but I still don't see how elitism factors into any of it. My complaint is that he posts more...

    Double Fine is pretty awesome

    Hey look Stern, I can also use the internet and post links of everything I see: Did you know that Apple is releasing a new iPhone today? Yeah crazy: http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/04/apples-lets-talk-iphone-keynote-liveblog/ Did you know that people are dying in Somalia...

    Europa Universalis III

    I played HoI2 up until I realized that the point is not to play like a nation, but to decipher how the underlying game mechanics work and which units are imbalanced and how stupid the AI is. The result is an infantry/submarine germany that annexes every nation in the world by 1940. I tried MP...
