Director Jon Favreau aired the trailer for his upcoming adaptation of Marvel’s Iron Man at this year’s ComicCon. The video quality is questionable, but I’ve got to say that I think Downey Jr. is a perfect fit for the role of Tony Stark. I also want to say that this footage has me […]

From the BBC’s Horizon series comes The Six Billion Dollar Experiment, a look at humanity’s most ambitious attempt to understand the birth of the universe. From the BBC’s description:
On 26th November 2007 the most complex scientific instrument ever built ‘The Large Hadron Collider’ will be switched on. The scientists behind this experiment are hoping […]

If you haven’t seen/heard the Flight of the Conchords, you should check them out. Their show on HBO is pretty great, in a very off the wall kind of way. They’re like Tenacious D, with a lot less obnoxious and a lot more genuine funny.

This past Sunday found Yahoo! Hillsboro once again descending upon the Oregon Zoo for burgers, beers, and boisterousness. It was another fun-filled afternoon. We arrived just in time for the BBQ, so we sat down to some grub before disembarking for a tour of the attractions. It made for some good times.

arms wrapped round

What you have here, kids, is a full-scale, fully functional Warthog built by the people at WETA Workshops. You may have heard all the hullaballoo about the Halo movie. Hype for the project snow-balled pretty quickly when it was announced that Peter “Lord of the Rings” Jackson would be the film’s executive producer and that […]
