Wicker Man, 2006
I’m a glutton for punishment. I really am. Having not had enough of the 1973 version of Wicker Man, I sought out the 2006 remake by Neil Labute, starring Nichola Cage. I should’ve known better. The reviews of this movie online, in contrast to the glowing reviews of the original, are horrible. Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 15% positive rating, which is pretty impressive. Watching this...

Wicker Man
It’s midweek, and the honey and I are making plans to watch a few horror movies Saturday night- good ones that neither of us have seen before. I look around on the web and see some positive reviews of an old British horror film called Wicker Man. I check IMDB, and I see that the flick has a pretty good rating- like eight stars out of ten. You can’t argue with the cast, either: Edward...

Especially like the tree that’s been trained to grow through the railing and over the walkway below.

“For an educated adult living in a developed nation, designing and building a wind turbine that generates electricity is something to be proud of. For a half-starved, uneducated boy living in a country plagued with drought, famine, poverty, disease, a cruelly corrupt government, crippling superstitions, and low expectations, it’s another thing altogether. It’s nothing short of...

Welcome! I started sharing links on Stumbleupon, then Facebook and got tired of the crappy interfaces of both. So here is where I’ll post links to cool stuff I’ve found around the web. Maybe some commentary, maybe not. We’ll see.
