It can be done!

This is awesome:

That is a photograph, not a render. Here's how it was done.

UPDATE:

This one is pretty cool, too.

Light show

Via, there was an amazing event in the skies over Norway a couple of days ago. I wonder what it was?

My guess when I saw the pictures was that it was a high density meteor that was spinning. But then I watched the video, and it wasn't acting like a meteor, and the spin rate was too slow for what I was thinking.

A lot of people seem to suspect it was a rocket failing, but whose was it? The Russians deny everything.

I would think the most obvious thing to do would be to search the area where it seemed to hit the ground. I hope they do.

UPDATE: The Russians have confirmed that there was a Bulava missile launch that day. This reportedly makes the 8th failure out of 12 launches. (Ouch!)

Things we don't want

Via, we have 5 "Anime we hope never come to America."

It's a good list, and there are good reasons. "School Days" is #5, so you can imagine how much worse the others are.

Their choice for #1 is unquestionably correct. (shiver...)

UPDATE: This image (in the first paragraph) is another that we don't want.

Hot Air #3

I've made another political post on Hot Air. God help me. (Or whatever it is that's running things for us atheists.)

"Government by Wishful Thinking"

UPDATE: Good grief! They promoted it to the front page.

Maybe I really should switch to Verizon

I dunno about this: Comcast will buy NBC from General Electric.

Am I about to be borgified?

Slow

Do you realize that light only moves 30 centimeters in a nanosecond? How in hell are you supposed to get anywhere at that speed?

Trailers, we got trailers

This guy went to Komiket, too, and he has some trailers.

Anyone want to see the NSFW trailer for "Chu Bra"? I think that series is going to turn out even raunchier than "Girl's High". I wonder if there's a schedule for it yet.
