The Vault IS Real!

Posted By Rod Kaufman
Remember the scene in Independence Day when Dr Okun brings the president to the area known as the vault in area 51 and shows him the three alien bodies? Well...

Nice Utah Star Scene

Posted By Rod Kaufman
Although it only appears for a second or two, the milky way shot from this current Utah tourism commercial is something to behold:

Into The Darkness

Posted By Rod Kaufman
The latest Star Trek movie is out and, if you can, see it in IMAX 3D.
Nonstop action with a old and new nemesis challenging the intrepid crew of the Enterprise at every warp angle you care to name.
BTW, the scene of the engineering reactor core is really an advanced physics laboratory with super colliders and the like and actually exists.
Star Trek, Into The Darkness: well worth the ride...

When is enough enough?

Posted By Rod Kaufman
Herb,
This is just one example of the daily hacking that occurs all over the world. Get used to it. Notice the perpetrators were evidently quite experienced in their execution of summary judgement as they even took the time to proclaim in Arabic that "God Is Great!" Then, fearing nothing, they advanced on police officers forcing a firefight, apparently quite willing to die and ascend to heaven where 72 virgins with hauntingly beautiful eyes await them.
Herb, cultural diversity takes many forms. This is just but one...

Where's "Yangon"?

Posted By Rod Kaufman
Well, I'm glad to see at least somebody has some dark skies to look at. Here in California, all we can look at these days in the monsoonal flow, incoming from Arizona.
