Did a Big Bang in Our Own Solar System Create Venus as we know it?
Over the past several years the formation of our own solar system has been of high importance in scientific circles. Many scientists have focused their attention on the inner four planets, and found that we bounced around like a ball in a pinball mission in our early formative years.
A now dominant theory for the creation […]

The Justice League versus Australia; again
By Joshua S Hill
To be perfectly honest, the title should read “Australia versus the Justice League,” simply because it seems that the Australian film industry is trying to shoot itself in the foot; again.
A recent article in the Sydney Morning Herald down here in Australia has provided some big news, and two small pieces of […]
Leo, Merlin, Veronica and, the fantastic Jonathan Coulton
If you haven’t come across Jonathon Coulton yet, you have seriously missed out. He is an internet phenomenon and a brilliant musician to boot! Check out his wikipedia article, ’cause I’m not going to give you the whole spiel. Nevertheless, at a recent concert in SF he was joined on stage by three of the […]
College student fights his own cancer
I thought that this story was amazing, from a completely different point of view than you would imagine. Sure, it sucks he has cancer, but this is just a totally different spin from what we’re used too!
From the article;
The terrible headaches come over Christmas break. Josh undergoes testing before returning to school.
His mother, Simone, gets […]
Review: Green Arrow and Black Canary #5
It comes as a surprise to me to so continually be in love with a comic book issue after issue. It hasn’t happened a whole lot over the past decade, with a few exceptions (an entirely different post). So I was stoked when I finished reading Green Arrow and Black Canary #5 and found that […]
Review: Booster Gold #00
When you ask the comic fans of my father’s generation you normally don’t get a lot of good things said about Booster Gold. He was self aggrandizing, selfish, moronic and nowhere near the top flight of heroes that were the beloved at the time. And, really, that’s the whole point isn’t it; Dan Jurgens couldn’t […]

Marvel’s 2009 to be Slow Year; Big Income Though
Turning from a company who simply licenses its characters out to other studios in to a studio that makes the movies themselves has allowed Marvel a lot more freedom. However this freedom has sadly run up against the wall of past and possibly future labor issues. Take the jump for why 2009 might only see […]
Gaming Just Got Exciting; Brain Control Headset
Apparently we’ve just arrived in the future, because coming soon to store shelves near you is a headset that lets your brain control the movement and actions in a video game.
The neuro-headset will pick up the interaction of neurons in your brain, allowing you to control the game you are playing simply by thinking about […]
my new favorite
There is no doubt that I’m a sucker for a blonde, and 21 year old Jayne Wisener is no exception. I saw her last night in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (the movie) and I loved her. Her voice was really pure and innocent, perfect for the character that she was playing […]
Earth Hour Hits the World
Live 8 was one of those massive world events that for just a few hours puts everyone in the same chair. It makes us think globally, rather than just of ourselves. In just over a month’s time, on March 29, millions of people around the world will be turning off their lights, their power, for […]

2029 Deadline for Robotic AI
The world’s greatest and most popular inventor and futurist, Raymond Kurzweil, has been a pioneer of so many fields it is not worth mentioning. He has foreseen a future for us that makes me wake up with a cold sweat; nightmares of robotic overlords still roaming through my mind.
And according to the notable thinker, a […]
