This Is the State of CGI!

Get ready to get your minds blown.....This has to be one of the best demos of high end CGI I have ever seen.

castAR Will Blow Your Mind!

Hey catch this video from the Kickstarter program for this new VR rig that is also an AR system.  It is called castAR, don't forget that name because I am willing to bet that this just could be a big changer in how game, computers, movies you name it....this looks like the real deal.

Check out the video.

Klingon Turkeys....?

Yes, we can safely say that Barry is a bit touched, just slightly ahead of the bell curve of weirdness...

Five Day Forcast?

No, I am not hawking for Snorgtees but I just had to put this graphic up that you can get on a tee. Thanks to Xnewsman for the mood lifter!

Nuclear Explosions from 1945-1998

For such a simple short animated film, you will be riveted, appalled and frightened. It's simple maps and blips, but the net effect is wondering how we got out alive, or are we just holding our breath? Watch it. This is brilliant in it's simplicity and scope.

Now this is fun Royce Lee just sent me an email saying he really enjoys the blog and offered for our consideration his "comic" (I would call it a graphic novel) called Manmachine.

Royce describes it as:

• It is an attempt at serious science fiction regarding a future in which corporatism has destroyed America.

Royce in a later correspondence wrote:

• I really was into science fiction growing up in upstate New York, all because of the existence of a very small used bookstore that had tons and tons of used, tattered, pulp paperback editions of Philip K. Dick and JG Ballard. Remember in the 80s when these things were used as doorstops, and cost 80 cents! And then I stopped following science fiction after failing to find follow up writers. Really what was happening is that I lost my source of "underground" or "alternative" SF. This whole world of "alternative SF" is really fun and interesting to me.

I have had a chance to go through it once or twice and I like what I see. The artwork is minimalistic and the colors muted which give the overall atmosphere an edgy almost film noir look and feel. The story line is engaging enough to make you want to check out the next pane and frankly interested in seeing how it develops in further volumes.

It's worth a look.

A few thousand sf magazine covers!

Now this is a trip! Shaun Saunders sends me a link to a really innovative graphics interface. It's loaded with thousands of science fiction magazine cover grapics. You drag your mouse around and individual covers pop up. If you then click, a larger, more detailed graphic pops up. It is really fascinating to just click around in this interface. I saw covers that I used to have or have read and many that I hadn't and was just plain amazed at the level of art some of these covers contained.

Check it out!
