On Thursday night a huge meteor lit up the night air over Edmonton, Canada. Fortunately, a car with a mounted video camera happened to be driving right towards the impromptu phenomenon and got some great footage of the event. What are the odds of that?
SASKATOON, Saskatchewan (AP) — Scientists say they hope to [...]

A few years back I remember seeing an intense painting of Hendrix hanging in a friend’s apartment. I found out later it was painted live to a music track by the guitarist at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. I’m really amazed by the energy that Denny Dent puts has brush strokes as [...]

One of the T-shaped monoliths in Gobelki Tepe, this one bearing a relief of a fox.
It’s more than twice as old as the Pyramids, or even the written word. When it was built, saber-toothed tigers and woolly mammoths still roamed, and the Ice Age had just ended.
The elaborate temple at Gobelki Tepe in southeastern [...]

Who can get enough of cat headed bipeds performing in a dance of death?

Staring at the below picture reminds me of the cauldrons and alchemy of past civilizations. It’s interesting that several other planets in the solar system share the same phenomenon as our own northern lights. That’s something that I would like to see with my own eyes someday.
A stunning light display over Saturn has [...]

I was rummaging through old work in storage and found some entertaining drawings from 4th grade: warriors with mechanical birds perched on their shoulders to aid in battle. I wasn’t sure where the idea came from then, but now know that its origins started in Falconry. There are even places allow you to [...]

After putting in a day’s work, I headed off to vote. If you haven’t done it yet, make sure to get out to your local precinct and caste your ballot.
Not too long ago my friend Joe sent this funny video to myself and others relating to the election. Hahaha. I was tricked at first and [...]
