Re: Sarah Palin Seeks Expanded VP Powers As Cheney Did
Hear, hear! Though Biden was exactly Captain Enthusiasm last night, Much props to him for really showing some verve on this issue and stuffing it right back down Palin's throat with cold, hard fact.

Re: David Letterman Reacts to John McCain Suspending Campaign
What seems almost forgotten in this fiasco is Letterman's commentary on why McCain has a running mate in the first place. Very poignant reasoning that further points out the hypocrisy shown by McCain.
This bit will go down in tv history and you can be sure that no politician in his/her right mind will ever cross Letterman again

Re: David Letterman 10/1/08
I love Letterman, though his jokes can often be hit or miss. 2:40 was beautifully done, as was the bit at the very end.

Re: I'm a Little Confused
I never liked Hillary from waaaaaaay back when she intentionally moved to NY state and flouted residency rules to become a senator of a 'more prominent' state in order to become president, or so she hoped. I despise such transparent disregard for regulations and voter intelligence.
And as for her crying/caught voice, the reason it was so highly suspect was because she never showed an iota of emotion throughout any moment her public for the past 15 years.
Is it possible that she realized her long-term aspirations, what she worked so hard for, was about to fly apart due to some junior senator with more hope and appeal than you can shake a stick at? However, it is equally possible that, realizing the same thing, she used that moment as a calculated last ditch attempt to sway New Hampshire(it was NH, wasn't it?).
Based on the non-existence of any prior emotions from the First Robot, and the Clinton's political shrewdness, to NOT cast suspicion on her tears would be the foolish thing to do. Hence we doubt the authenticity.

Re: Oil-on-Water Calming Effect
Interesting, though I prefer transparency in videos that demonstrate things of this nature. The only thing we see is the water and his shadow. We don't know exactly what he is dropping into the water.
Having said that, I believe this video is legit. In the future though, the shooter should be in picture initially and show the act of actually dropping the oil in the water.

Re: One 1ife
its about one mans life. Not everybody gets to live perfect little happy lives. And it certainly shows that he had his moments of joy.
beautiful work on the environments, character animation was pretty good too, I like how they really showed off their abilities by changing the animation style throughout. Yet, all of the elements worked well together.
If they aren't already working, they will be soon.

Mostly stupid, with a smattering of WTF?
I did love Terry Tate at the end though

The most amazing thing about this is, the Dr. Ruth bit aside, he was clean the entire time. That's like...a miracle!

Re: Comiccon 2008, Feat Triumph the Insult Comic Dog
I think the nature of dork/nerd/geekdom today is that they take pride in their status and they know that what they do is of interest largely only to them. Most of them seem to have a good sense of humor about it. I'd think you'd have to dress up/cos-play in some of those outfits.
And with something like this, I'd assume all the people featured needed to sign releases , which means they know there is a good chance they'll be on national tv.
As is evidenced by history, and most recently the glut of reality nonsense on tv, the average person is almost itching to throw away any sense of self respect/decency just to get their 15 minutes of fame...even if it is only 30 seconds.
Personally, I'll take 15 minutes while the maggots are feasting on me.

Re: Japanese Archery Ritual
the only detractor was the color of the text made it very difficult to read. Other than that, very interesting!

Re: Super Slow Motion Lightning
any idea on the real world timing of this? 1/2 second? 1 second? I imagine it is somewhere in that range based on seeing lightning in real life. Was curious if the real data was available

Re: Obscura VisionAire Interface
i can see it having some uses in presentations. I think there are two issues though:
1. The guy is distracting being in the middle of the presentation.
2. The presentation is not bright enough.
If the guy did not have a light on him, there would be more contrast.
