Gigantoraptor: 1400 kg bird-like dinosaur!
It’s not every day paleontologists discover a new dinosaur! These discoveries take me back to the wonder of imagining the dinosaur world when I was a child. We weren’t saturated with the pre-digested smoothly-animated imagery* of Jurassic Park and Walking With Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Park. We imagined the world in fits and starts, informed by [...]
Three, four, five, look at him jive
The simplest ideas, eh? A chap, Juergen, got to wondering what his cat, Mr Lee, got up to all day. So he rigged up a collar-cam and sent him off. The result? Strangely enthralling shots of a day in the life of a cat. In the forum, a viewer asked about the striking lack of [...]
Belated Friday Fluffy
This photo is here purely to provide a soothing contrast with the picture in the previous post.
Back in town. Hi!
We are back from five days up in Jurien Bay. What did I miss? Heading North for the winter is definitely a Good Thing. We went with two friends and their daughters. The kids got along just fine, and had a ball. I’m in fairly serious spoon deficit, so I might not be doing much [...]
Ha!

Why buy the cow, when you can buy a cat?
The lolcats phenomenon spreads ever wider. We’ve seen loltheorists (HAI I HAS PANOPTICON – I C U!) lolpresidents (PREZIDENCY: Yor doin it wrong.) lolbots (EYEZ HAZ A FLAVOR, NOM NOM NOM) loltrek (WHOA THEY BE ALWAYS PREGGERS) and the LOLcky Horror Show (INVISIBLE (WELL, YOU KNOW)). Tools are starting to emerge. Last week, the Lolcats [...]
Friday Fizzicks Fun
Have you ever wondered what happens when you add an Alka Seltzer effervescent tablet to a sphere of water in microgravity? Now you know! The narrator opens with: “I hope you folks are trying to guess what’s going to happen to all these bubbles and beads that are going to be released. The first time [...]

A middle-aged woman with a hammer
makes teenage boys very twitchy. All I had to do was hammer in one nail into the timber frame of a prop for the high school musical on the weekend and I had a helpful young man offering to do it for me. I declined at first and hammered in the next nail but he [...]
Friday Fluffy linkfest
Ripped from my feedreader this week: Mentis Fugit gives us the story of two US military veterans deciding to bestow their Purple Hearts on two separate individuals they felt worthy of the decoration. Men and Women like different films (except for Star Wars) according to Sky via Winter at Mind the Gap! The Onion has [...]
Wotcher, orright?
Which God or Goddess are you like? Your Result: God Zeus You are Zeus. You are fierce and stong, and you like to throw lightning bolts at people who deserve it. You are fearless when it comes to fear, and harmless to nothing. You have the guts to take on anything and never look [...]
More weekend silliness
I’m working on a long post which isn’t coming together quite yet, so I keep distracting myself. Anyway, I found this picture, and frankly I’m astonished. I wonder how many of you can guess who this is? You can probably guess the character and stage production easily enough – or can you? Related posts: QFT: [...]
