Descendants
March 9, 2010
Descendants is an animated short film by Heiko van der Scherm about two flowers, and the curiosity and treachery between them. In a manner that reminds me of the rabbits of Watership Down, the flowers are anthropomorphized, but still motivated primarily by the plant life cycle.
Starring Whoopi Goldberg. Run time: 14 minutes, 32 seconds.

Loondon
March 8, 2010
All Jonah wants is to be happy. He’s courageous, loyal to friends, and kind even to strangers. Unfortunately, Jonah is one of “the malformed”, rejected by society because of his hunched back. He lives at a fair with the other outcasts. Then one day the wind blows him a handbill advertising a celebration in glittering Loondon. Could this be the answer to Jonah’s dreams? You’ll need your point and click skills to find out.
Using the mouse, click around to cause Jonah to walk, and on hotspots (highlighted by arrows) or speech bubbles to interact with the scenery or talk with people. Most of the time you’re just looking for whatever can be clicked, and that will advance the story, making this more on the “interactive art” side than the “game” side, but there are two minor puzzles.

Second Official Trailer for Marvel’s Iron Man 2!
March 8, 2010
“I am Iron Man!” Robert Downey Jr. appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night following the Oscars to debut this brand new trailer for Jon Favreau’s Iron Man 2 which you can watch below! We all saw the first trailer for Iron Man 2 in December and although that looked awesome, I have to say, this trailer looks even better. We finally get to see lots of plot details in this, including more of Scarlett Johansson and a bit about how Sam Rockwell (as Justin Hammer) meets Mickey Rourke (as Whiplash). There are so many awesome scenes in this, I can’t freakin’ wait! What a way to kick off the summer. Watch the trailer below and enjoy!

Iron Man 2 takes place only six months after Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) revealed his identity as Iron Man at the end of the first movie. Mickey Rourke stars as a powerful new Russian villain named Whiplash.
Iron Man 2 is directed by actor-turned-filmmaker Jon Favreau, who previously directed Made, Elf, Zathura, and the first Iron Man. The screenplay for this was also written by an actor, Justin Theroux, who became a screenwriter a few years ago and co-wrote the Tropic Thunder script. Paramount will be bringing Iron Man 2 to theaters everywhere starting on May 7th, 2010 this summer. See everyone in theaters in May for this!

A Lava Lamp on Jupiter
March 8, 2010
Neil Fraser wondered if a lava lamp would still work in the higher gravity environment of Jupiter. How such a question ever occurs to anyone is a matter of wonder in itself, but Fraser went ahead and built a ten-foot wide centrifuge in his living room to conduct the experiment to answer his question.
The centrifuge is a genuinely terrifying device. The lights dim when it is switched on. A strong wind is produced as the centrifuge induces a cyclone in the room. The smell of boiling insulation emanates from the overloaded 25 amp cables. If not perfectly adjusted and lubricated, it will shred the teeth off solid brass gears in under a second. Runs were conducted from the relative safety of the next room while peeking through a crack in the door.
Highlight this text for a spoiler: Yes, the lava lamp worked in 3G.

Fair & Balanced
March 5, 2010
PALIN: I studied journalism, my college degree there in communications. And now I am back there wanting to build some trust back in our media. I think the mainstream media is quite broken and I think there needs to be the fairness, the balance in there — that’s why I joined Fox. Fair and balanced, yes. You know because, Jay, those years ago that I studied journalism it was all about the who, what, when, where, and why, it was not so much the opinion interjected in hard news stories. … As long as there is not the opinion under the guise of hard news stories — I think there needs to be clear differentiation.
Jon Stewart addresses the subject much more incisively than I can:
