Will Gizmodo do a review/in-depth look at this? I really really hope so. This looks phenomenal, but great spec sheets don’t always translate into equally great products.

Yeah, no program is perfect, and there’s definitely some criticism that is deserved. But NASA is also blamed when inconsistent funding causes these delays, and Boeing has not lived up to its reputation over the last decade, which is a huge part of the cost/delay issues.

Artemis is a way to rebuild the institutional knowledge of getting people beyond LEO. Most of the Apollo-era folks are long-since retired or dead. Getting to Mars will be safer and more effective if we use going to the Moon as a stepping stone to develop hardware, manpower, and practices that can achieve those goals.…

NASA basically funded most of SpaceX’s early development. Elon is now vying for richest guy in the world, so he can fund his pet project himself. NASA needs a reliable option that it has control over.  SLS doesn’t deserve the flak it gets.  People forget that the Saturn V had design compromises, too.  What matters is…

I love Gaimen’s work, but it’s impossible to say that the show hasn’t suffered immeasurable harm by losing Bryan Fuller and the creative people who followed him out the door after season 1. I never heard the full story of what happened (Fuller seems difficult to work with, but networks never seem to get that giving…

It’s not that the law is on their side as much as the law compels them to take action or risk losing trademarks worth millions of dollars and open up room to copycat products. If they hadn’t contacted Nintendo first, they would have had a better chance of getting away with it. But once Nintendo is aware of trademark…

I understand why people are upset with Nintendo, and especially the modding/Melee stuff, they’ve got a point. But regardless of the cause, selling items for money jeopardizes the company’s trademarks. I’m not trying to be insensitive, and I know the people behind it were coming from a good place, but putting…

I am tremendously bummed that this is going to be on Apple’s crappy service, which I will not be buying into. This was filmed here in Cleveland, and looks to be a very cool, interesting story. But I already subscribe to enough streaming services, and Apple’s is particularly unworthy of anyone’s money. Hopefully, it…

I’m sorry, but you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Cause if all they do is ride buggies and play golf, I’m gonna want a big tax refund.

The Shining is not “unexceptional.” Few books have ever gotten under my skin like that did. I think if you read the book first, that colors your perspective, and if you saw the movie first, it colors it a different way. I understand and agree with many of King’s critiques while still loving Kubrick’s movie. It…

Ayn Rand, eh?

Anyone looking to get into high-end photography would get a comparable and more versatile camera at a cheaper price with Sony’s A7S III.

This is a major bummer. I was a big fan of them.

MRP has been around for a while, and I have several products that they DID produce.  However, being small, operating on narrow margins, and then seeing the worst pandemic in over a century are not easy hurdles to leap over.

The Tourette’s thing was and was not a con. NXIVM borrowed a lot of real therapy techniques and used them alongside their brainwashing nonsense. So, for example, they used some aspects of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), which has been shown to be very effective at helping those with Tourette’s. Also, that is a…

I think there is value in both documentaries. I understand and agree with much of your criticism, but think that The Vow is more about how people sucked into this cult justified it to themselves, as well as how their disillusionment helped bring the cult down. Seduced, meanwhile, is what I EXPECTED the Vow to be, a…

Thanks for the review.

It didn’t sell well, which is a shame because it was kind of amazing. It’s problem was partially being locked in micro-four-thirds right when mirrorless full frame cameras were coming onto the market in a big way. Before that, APS-C sensors had been the bigger, “higher end” for mirrorless, with full frame only seen in…

Born in 84.  Don’t feel that young anymore.
