Tha Maxx

MTV has posted the first few episodes of The Maxx. I remember watching this show late at night many years ago. I think it was aired as a filler, so catching an episode was rare good luck. It must have been the first “adult” animation I had ever seen, the story did a pretty good job of blowing my young mind.

Wolfram|Alpha

I like Wolfram|Alpha. It’s a great resource for all sorts of information. I’ve been looking at mortality data and growth charts.

It’s also useful for more general information since the way is presents the results is very straightforward. Here is what it can tell you about the International Space Station and the Hubble Space Telescope.

Stephen Wolfram is a pretty interesting guy. Author of Mathematica among other things. There is a 30 min interview with him at the end of the latest This Week In Tech.

I just found out about Top Gun Day. May 13th. I’ll be in Thailand on the day, a great place to buy some aviator sunglasses and hopefully play some beach volleyball. Aw right.

The Hunt for Gollum

A Lord of the Rings fan film called “The Hunt for Gollum” was released on May 3rd. It’s very high quality, definitely worth checking out if you are a LOTR fan.

Love and Verse

I was watching episode 6 of CO-OP and was pretty impressed by one of the indie games they covered, Love. As well as having a cool aesthetic, it has a rich technical background that I was not expecting.

It was very interesting to read through the developers blog and the tools and tech video is pretty nuts too.
