Charlie Chaplin: The Great Dictator

Listen to his words....



Something to think about.

Crystal Caves of Naica

Here's an awsome vid from a cave in Mexico. This has to be the most amazing geological find in a long while.


Absolutely amazing the size of these crystals! And here's a link to a page from National Geographic explaining how they possibly came to be.

It's really cool to think there are pockets of giant crystals underneath our feet. Goes to show we know very little about our planet and the bounty of the unforseen discoveries ready to be shown in the light.

The Beatles?

I am always surprised by the bounty of entertaining videos youtube has to offer. Like this clip from what seems to be an LSD fever-dream of the Beatles.

Dennou Coil

I have been watching anime for almost my entire life. The last 10 years or so I've lost some interest thanks in some part to Adult Swim's anime block. I do enjoy Hayao Miyazaki's films and some of the newr stuff coming out of Japan has knocked my socks off. Like Fooly Cooly and the new Witchblade series. Now thanks to the wonderful entity called the interweb I've found a streaming website called

They got a ton of series they would never show on tv here in the states and a new intriguing one called Dennou Coil.

In 2026, eleven years after the introduction of internet-connected augmented reality eyeglasses and visors, Yuko Okonogi moves with her family to the city of Daikoku, the technological center of the emerging half-virtual world. Yuko joins her grandmother’s “investigation agency” comprised of children equipped with virtual tools and powerful metatags. She quickly crosses paths with Yuko Amasawa, an expert hacker of the virtual environment, as Amasawa relentlessly seeks to gain the powers of a mysterious cyber-entity known as Michiko. The protagonists are driven to unravel the mysteries of the virtual world in the shadow of a powerful hacker that came before them.



These are a couple clips from first episode (sorry it's only in Japanese with english subtitles)



I urge anyone who likes anime or animation in general to check out AnimeThat!, it's down there in the Missing Links section.

Zero Punctuation: Silent Hill Origins

Here's the newest review from Zero Punctuation. I love this guy's reviews and I love the games of Silent Hill.



I love Silent Hill. The creepy atmosphere just does it for me. It's a good variation to the survival horror genre, where I'm not blowing the heads off of zombies. A shame that the Silent Hill movie didn't capture that same level of creepiness.
