And not a moment too soon. First off, there are movies in my local theaters: "Fly Me to the Moon," "Journey to Center of the Earth." Apparently several of our theaters have adopted Real D technologies without having to build-out a new theater. I've only seen "Fly Me to the Moon" and it was fun, but really lacked in story development. The 3D aspect, however, was awesome, the rockets launching, spacecraft floating, flies dancing, all looked great.

I've also discovered that these 3D technologies are coming to the Home-theater and to my PC. Check out 3D Roundup for some great current news on the subject. I've added 3D Roundup to my list of permanent bookmarks. It's exciting to see all of this cool stuff happening, and hopefully I can be a part of it.

I love this video. Basically, it's a stop-motion animation using transformer action figures. If you're a fan of the Transformers (from way back), you'll like this video.

I must say that the dialog was a bit lacking and the sound needs a little work too, but it's still worth it. Another great day online!

Side Note: Man, I really need to upgrade my Wordpress. I'd love to be able to embed the movie on this page. Anyway...

every now and then. My son and I can't watch this video enough. If you're into
Rube Goldberg Machines, you'll love this video. It's a full 13 minutes long and is absolutely mesmerizing.

I hope you enjoy it. I can't get that jingle out of my head. Pi-ta-go-ra Su-icchi.
