The Iron Giant vs. Mechagodzilla in Ready Player One (2018)

[ohjeffreyno]

This made me so upset in the movie. The Iron Giant was a very clear anti-war character.

OH MY GOD IT’S TIME FOR THESE AGAIN. BEST GIFSET

[ohjeffreyno]

I don’t think it’s time for these yet. But there needs to be some commemoration of the fact that I just did a hard dive into my tumblr after 2+ years of inactivity. I still can’t stop laughing.

Just stopping by to upload some photos my dad sent me of Keef, Tina Turner and Bowie.

Thank you Erica Moen for drawing how I feel.

Credit where credit is due.

The scientific jury is still out on the legitimacy and whys of female ejaculation, and as long as there’s stuff like cancer to work on you can’t really blame them for back burner-ing it.

The Development of Multiscale Models for Complex Chemical Systems, The 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Thanks to a whole bunch of people for helping me out with making this comic happen, especially Emily, Ashlan, Kale, Anastasiya, and Max.

Multiscale modeling is such a neat field.

Happy Beat Moho Week!

I just have to reblog this to make it be known that I fully endorse BEAT SMITH week. 

Every scrum is a MOHO scrum

The Russia Left Behind

A journey through a heartland on the slow road to ruin.

I’d like to submit that the NYT is doing a banging job in figuring out how to use digital media in modern journalism. See also: Riding the New Silk Road.

[ohjeffreyno]

Beautiful and informative. Thank you, NYT.

emotions you don’t understand upon viewing a sunset

lost pets found

lost pets unfound

a secret lost pet city on the moon

trees that see

restaurants that hear

a void that thinks

a face half-seen just before falling asleep

trembling hands reaching for desperately needed items

sandwiches!

This is something that I think might be worth noting out loud: At a largely female-oriented convention, as a man, I was never excluded, resented or made to feel unwelcome. There were folks who were surprised I was there, but that surprise was always “Oh! Cool! You’re here!” rather than “Why are you here?” And that, of course, is a salient difference. No one questioned my reasoning for being there, or suggested, say, that I was a Fake Romance Boy, or quizzed me about who my favorite romance author was or if I could recite that author’s bibliography to their satisfaction. I certainly wasn’t skeezed on. On the contrary, people went out of their way to ask me if I was enjoying myself and to let me know they were glad I was there. When I admitted ignorance about certain writers or genre details they were happy to expand my knowledge, and they wanted to know more about what I did and my own experiences as a writer. I met lots of new people and made new friends and in many ways it was one of the best convention experiences I’ve had in a long time. This leaves wide open and hanging the question of why was it so easy for the folks at the RT Booklovers’ Convention, fans and creators both, to welcome a stranger of the opposite gender into their midst, while other enthusiast communities that skew male still have creators and fans who blow a gasket about women doing their thing in that genre. It’s not difficult to be welcoming and friendly.

"A Slower Speed of Light is a first-person game prototype in which players navigate a 3D space while picking up orbs that reduce the speed of light in increments. Custom-built, open-source relativistic graphics code allows the speed of light in the game to approach the player’s own maximum walking speed. Visual effects of special relativity gradually become apparent to the player, increasing the challenge of gameplay. These effects, rendered in realtime to vertex accuracy, include the Doppler effect (red- and blue-shifting of visible light, and the shifting of infrared and ultraviolet light into the visible spectrum); the searchlight effect (increased brightness in the direction of travel); time dilation (differences in the perceived passage of time from the player and the outside world); Lorentz transformation (warping of space at near-light speeds); and the runtime effect (the ability to see objects as they were in the past, due to the travel time of light). Players can choose to share their mastery and experience of the game through Twitter. A Slower Speed of Light combines accessible gameplay and a fantasy setting with theoretical and computational physics research to deliver an engaging and pedagogically rich experience."

This Stardust styled shoot is nothing short of magical! The details capture the enchantment of the book perfectly but my favorite part by far is the wonderful camera trick that turned the bride into a luminous star herself!
