Sir Patrick Stewart talking euphoric about the internet, Twitter, iPhone and games. This man is awesome.

Alex Roman created this wonderful, completely animated film named The Third & The Seventh. This is truly a piece of art. After watching this I wonder when an average computer will be able to render pictures and animations as realistic as these in real time. Watch the film in HD or take a look at [...]

A cool video on YouTube showing the launch of a Saturn V model rocket. Scale 1:10 might sound small but it’s freaking huge for a model rocket!

At space.com you can take a tour of our corner of the cosmos. Like the famous National Geographic poster it gives you a good sense of how small our solar system (and every other) really is. Truly fascinating.

Forever’s Not so Long is a fantastic short movie about a hopeless situation starring Garrett Murray. I can’t tell more without a spoiler, so just watch this 13 minute masterpiece. If you have an iPhone and a Twitter account or a website be sure to check out Ego, also by Garrett Murray.

I’m watching Sigur Rós’ Heima right now — a documentary film about their free 2006 Iceland tour. It is a great DVD for everybody who likes Sigur Rós or Iceland. Last year, in the endless magic hour of the Icelandic summer, Sigur Rós played a series of concerts around their homeland. Combining both the biggest [...]

A Scanner Darkly — the movie adaption of Philip K. Dick‘s great novel. What does a scanner see? I mean, really see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does a passive infrared scanner … see into me — into us — clearly or darkly? (Bob Arctor, A Scanner Darkly) Great dystopian novel and fantastic [...]

SQL injection anyone?

You could turn on your speakers and visit Zombo.com, but seriously: why would you want to?

There are some Sigur Rós videos available on their official website including the Heima trailers I’ve already mentioned. One video I’m particularly fond of is Glósóli from the album Takk.

Watching the trailer makes [...]
