Total Recall facility

Total Recall Trailer – It Actually Looks… Good?

The full trailer for the Total Recall reboot is finally here, and after having watched it, I’m left with a funny feeling. You see, when I heard that the movie was being re-made so many months ago, I was both disgusted and horrified. Total Recall is one of my all-time favorite movies, and to have someone take it and re-make it with an actor I can’t stand, well… let’s just say I wasn’t impressed. But sometimes miracles really do happen, and after having watched this I can sincerely say that I’m excited.

The trailer starts out with Douglas Quaid, played by Colin Farrel, chatting up a fellow in a bar and discussing their

RaspberryPi + Raspbmc – Guide to Setting up the Ultimate HTPC for $60

A few months ago, Scott wrote an excellent article outlining the broad strokes for setting up your very own home theater system using a PC and a few inexpensive components. It seemed so easy that he got me thinking, and I started doing a bit of research. You see, I had heard about the credit card sized computer, known as RaspberryPi, quite a while ago, but at the time, I didn’t realize how perfect it would be for use as a HTPC. It’s so good, that for about $60 you’ll be able to play almost any video, music, or media you can throw at it. Excited yet?

So with that in mind, I’m about to teach you how to set up your very own HTPC using RaspberryPi, an SD Card, a USB thumb drive for increased speed (more on that later), and a free, kick ass piece of software called Raspbmc.

RME Babyface | New USB interface for Mobile Audio Recording

RME Babyface | 3/4 View
RME Babyface | Available at LunchboxAudio.com

RME Audio has a great new interface on the market for recording audio on the go or on your desktop. I recently had the opportunity to meet with the product rep in Seattle and check out a demo unit. The Babyface features up to 192 kHz A/D/A conversion with a SNR of up to 115 dBA., excellent connectivity, and as usual- strong drivers and software. The blue anodized case is attractive and it’s compact size allows the unit to practically fit in the palm of your hand.

Ok Go Needing/Getting – Smashing Into 1000 Instruments With a Car

This new OK GO Needing/Getting music video is a triumph of the childish love we all had (and most of us still have) for smashing crap together and driving around recklessly. I know that it was filmed in part with Chevy, which is why they used such a pedestrian looking car, but I give them props because this is just one in a string of wacky, ingenious music videos.  So no bitching about corporate endorsements- just marvel at how rad it must have been to go tearing along in the desert, deploying Inspector Gadget pneumatic arms and purposely driving into everything you see.

Jensen Kimmitt – Do Me Cause You’re The Yo-Yo Guy

When I was a child (and for many of my teenage years), I obsessed over the all powerful yo-yo. I would spend hour after hour practicing, and the result was that I was just slightly better than someone who hadn’t used a yo-yo before. Clearly, the world yo-yo championships were not in the cards for me.

Thankfully there are talented yo-yo masters, and this video of Canadian national Champion Jensen Kimmitt winning the

Transit of Venus 2012 1

HD Video of Transit of Venus 2012

The transit of Venus occurred on June 5, 2012; if you’re reading this today, let me assure you, you won’t be alive to see it live again because the next time it happens it will be the year 2117 and 2125.  The “Transit of Venus” occurs when the planet Venus travels directly between the sun and earth, leaving a shadow as it moves across space.  This Venus transit lasted for 6 hours and 40 minutes and unfortunately I wasn’t able to see it live because it’s always cloudy and raining here and I also forgot all about the event.

For those of you that missed seeing this spectacular event, we have this very cool high definition video from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) showing a shadow of the planet Venus travel across the surface of the sun.  The video shows different shades of the sun, I’m assuming using different filters.  Hit the jump to see the video.

The Evolution of Comic Books – The Modern Fairy Tale?

Good day and salutations gentlemen! Today we shall be discussing an art form that has received new appreciation in recent years. An art form, that is a great fusion of story telling and design. An art form, once thought to be reserved for children. Ranging from the professionally produced graphic novels, to the free comic book at your local shop, today we recognize the modern fable. Please, bear with me as I attempt to wax philosophical.

As mentioned above, Comics have and still suffer from a stigma. One that relegates them to the realm of children, or individuals lacking in a certain level of maturity of personality and thought. It’s an easy assumption to make after all. Animation is generally reserved for
