Top Gear unveils another excellent special. This feature once again solidifies Top Gear as the automotive show du jour. Fifth Gear needs to take note; screw the antics - writing is everything.

The cast and crew over at Top Gear may not have racing pedigrees but their exceptional talents in media journalism makes for great storytelling, which in turn, makes for great television. Let me not forget the fantastic production value of the show thanks to Andy Wilman. A good story is only half the battle; music, dialog, quality of shots and the like all have to be paced and filmed just right.

To say I’m anxious for the return of Top Gear in the fall is an understatement.

Magnetosphere started life as a Processing application built by Robert Hodgin then ported over “line by line to C++” by the crew over at Barbarian Group. There are extra controls so be sure to check the FAQ. It even runs well on my old MDD G4. Very glad I stumbled across this piece.

The timing couldn’t have been better as Steven just uploaded TC’s Flatliner track. On the Legacy mix with DJ Odi this track comes in around minute 25 and it is a rather brief verse. Thanks for digging this one up Steven!

New tshirt from So Softies. Took quite a while to get here, but I’m happy it finally arrived.

Thanks bud!

It’s 11:37PM. I’m sitting in bed with my wife and 4 day old son. And I am crying. Why, pray tell, is the Meltron weeping? Well my friends, I just spent 1 hour and 54 minutes of my life watching Curse of the Golden Flower. These tears aren’t of joy, but of utter sadness; this was by far the the second worst movie I have ever seen. Sure there are worse with no budgets and horrible effects, but I haven’t watched them.

Where can I begin with this piece of crap?! I’m too tired and upset to find the words right now, but as gentle as I can be, this movie was piss!

Tomorrow more details.
