Wanderers – a short film by Erik Wernquist
I honestly had a small spacegasm watching this one. Its glorious.
Wanderers is a vision of humanity’s expansion into the Solar System, based on scientific ideas and concepts of what our future in space might look like, if it ever happens. The locations depicted in the film are digital recreations of actual places in the Solar System, built from real photos and map data where available.
Without any apparent story, other than what you may fill in by yourself, the idea with the film is primarily to show a glimpse of the fantastic and beautiful nature that surrounds us on our neighboring worlds – and above all, how it might appear to us if we were there.
Does a galaxy filled with habitable planets mean humanity is doomed?

Guestblog: I want Icewater
His site I want Ice water is filled with all things weird and wonderful insights both into his own life and the world in general. But he has such a fantastic humour which lifts his blog to newer and higher realms. I’m never disappointed travelling to his world.
I present I want ice water!
In their own words:
My friends call me Mak. I’m a disabled Electronics Engineering Technician, Technical Writer, and Air Force veteran. In case my photo doesn’t make it clear, I come from a mixed heritage that includes Black, White and Native American. And trust me, my heritage – not to mention my appearance, has most definitely had an impact on my life.
I absolutely DO NOT claim to be an expert at or on anything. While I have spent my entire life watching, listening and reading in an effort to understand myself, other people, and the world we live in, I hope I’ll never be warped enough to claim that I have all the answers. And I have faith that no one else will make such a mistake either. It’s like that old joke about the ex-spurt: “Sonny, back when I was just a spurt like you…” I pray that I never come across as such an old fool. Read more…
btw, realised after I published this one that of course it mentions his photo on the blog, not the one that I put in there of his avatar (he doesn’t look like that at all… )

You Want Crazy? I Got Your Crazy!As I said in my last post, my original plan for today was to purge the inner darkness feeding off the lunacy of our situation in the Middle East. So, are you wondering what I had in mind? Well, to be honest, I never did come up with words to sufficiently describe the emotional cacophony echoing in my mind, but here are the videos and graphics I gathered, along with a “musical” final thought. |
The Thread To… OMG!!!!!I have a knack for following the smallest thread until I find my way to the chewy, gooey, “psycho-nougat” at the end of the lunatic trail! And such was the case this morning, when I “innocently” followed this link from my Inbox: Erotica from 1907 « diary of a cheating whore Which just happened to contain this link: 5 Ridiculous Sex Myths From History (You Probably Believe) | Cracked.com Which just happened to contain this link: |
And What About Peter?This article is inspired by Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged and my belief that there’s a certain poetic justice to our current state of affairs. It’s my first attempt at poetry. Please be kind. And What About Peter? In a world where it’s commonplace to rob Peter to pay Paul. Does he accept that it’s okay to bear the burden of our need? Do you ever think of what it’d be like for you to stand in his place? Do you wonder how it feels to be the sacrificial lamb? |
