DailyTech - MIT Students Develop Revolutionary Solar Dish That is Hot Enough to Melt Steel

DailyTech - MIT Students Develop Revolutionary Solar Dish That is Hot Enough to Melt Steel


Here's a quote from the article:
The key piece is the 12-foot dish, which the team assembled in several weeks. The design is exceedingly simple and inexpensive. The frame is composed of aluminum tubing and mirrors are attached to it.

The results are staggering -- the completed mirror focuses enough solar energy at its focal point to melt solid steel. The energy of typical sunlight is concentrated by a factor of 1,000. This was showcased during a demonstration, in which a team member held up a board, which instantly and violently combusted, when brought within range of the focal point.

http://www.spore.com

So with this new upcoming game called Spore you can create these wicked looking aliens. Even though some of the really "creative" people have made Pornographic aliens, It's what the normal people make..

Take for instance here... Zed...






See? He wasn't that horrible. He looks just like a bug creature....But then we get to this... while it's not pornographic, you don't realize what horrors have come to this being until it turns around. See you can play with the bones in the spine to change what kind of posture the creature has.... and this one looks like he sat down on another smaller creature. Someone needs to call a proctologist! He's got a creature stuck in it's ass!






And then we have.. the pornographic ones.. Mind you, that these creatures are easily created with the $10 creature creator. But in September, there's going to be an actual "GAME" where you can start these creatures at the cellular level and then evolve them into interstellar warlords. So I warn you.. you will either laugh your ass off at some then be totally disgusted by others...

Last night, Sunday June 15th, Stan Winston passed away. Winston died at home Sunday evening after a seven-year struggle with multiple myeloma.

He was a special effects wizard in the movie world. Here's a list of movies he was credited for doing Special effects for:

  1. Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins (2009) (filming) (special effects supervisor)

  20. Leviathan (1989) (creature effects producer)
  21. The Monster Squad (1987) (monster creator)

  26. "Manimal" (1983) TV series (special effects designer) (unknown episodes)
  27. The Phantom of the Opera (1983) (TV) (special effects makeup)

  28. W.C. Fields and Me (1976) (special effects)
I'd imagine that people should recognize some of these films. As they are legendary and his work will never be forgotten. His son, Matt Winston, has been doing alot of acting work. He was "Crewman Daniels" in the TV series, Star Trek: Enterprise. Daniels was the character that would travel through time from 800 years in the future. He was even in the movie "Fight Club". Matt played the part of the priest that kept getting sprayed before lashing out and punching the guy aggrivating him. I'm sure if you people watched that movie again you'd notice him. Anyways, I'm putting my monster creations in a genuflected pose. Praying that winged demons may guide Stan Winston's soul to the next evolution of state he's ascended to.

ExtraLife Radio

Well it's Sunday and Extralife Radio, a podcast I listen to should be broadcasting today. If you haven't listened to a podcast before or listened to this one, you really should. It's an interesting experience to listen to one. Not to mention, during his live show, there's a UStreamTV video link so you can watch him while he's recording.

So hopefully he'll be up tonight since it's Father's Day and all.

Hulk: Behind the Scenes stuff

Oh.. I almost forgot to post this. It has some discussion with the director of The Incredible Hulk and some Captain America spoilers.

http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809991325/trailer

If you're REALLY into Star Wars stuff and love the entire universe that was created around that franchise, then this new movie would be as enticing as an addiction would be.

I think that of the Episode 2 and Episode 3 of Star Wars, this new movie should have been made into a live-action Episode, instead of the crap that George Lucas shoved at us in those two Episodes.

Anyways, if I could have embedded the trailer, I would have. If the flash version doesn't suit you in it's quality, there's the 480p, 720p, and even 1024p versions that will take probably a bit longer to watch. But they're definitely worth the time to download them.

Christening ceremony!

So with my first post, I hearby dub this new blog open and ready to be farmed for anything relevant to whoever reads it! Or not.. because not everything here won't be for everyone. I'm not gonna post anything sappy or introspective. Well, I'll try not to.

Eventually I might get around to making this place look better with a new template and colors and stuff.. In the meantime...

Anyways... Since The Incredible Hulk got released this weekend, I figured I'd start off with a Hulk video off YouTube.
