H. P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos never looked quite so blocky. :) Cthulego Rises is an incredibly complex Lego scene depicting a chase between villains after lost gold and an heroic adventurer flying a Zeppelin. Cool enough, but the fact those villains are fleeing in terror from the monsters they have awakened puts this diorama over the top. Link courtesy of Sci Fi Wire
Yep, after over a year of updating this site on a regular basis, somehow the last few months have proven remarkably challenging on that front. Just when I thought things were starting to calm down at work, and I was going to have some more time to blog, suddenly things changed. :| Anyway, long story short, I’m now managing our primary Web presence. That proved pretty busy when it was just me and our programmer handling everything. We’ve hired someone to help out, though, and that is working out well. I’m hoping I’ll have a bit more time, as I catch up all the stuff that piled up while I was too busy to think about it. ...
The Rivalry heats up again tonight, with Duke playing at Carolina. Given Carolina’s personnel losses, Duke would seem to have the advantage, but this series never works out that easily. (Anyone else thinking of the 1995 double-overtime thriller which a powerful UNC team barely managed to win against one of the weaker Duke teams in recent memory?) I’m hoping UNC can keep a guy on J. J. Redick tonight. Given Duke’s recent game plan of “Get him the ball,” that can prove difficult. Ah, Jackie Manuel, why couldn’t you have just one more year of eligibility? ...

When you can run around the world in less than a second, even the largest city would have to seem small and boring. So how does the Flash handle it? Easy, he lives in Central City, the city with no limits, 10-lane streets, and giant sidewalks. The Absorbacon has an funny pictorial review of how the artists handled drawing a city big enough for The World’s Fastest Man. Just imagine the run-off from rain over all that pavement. Of course, I doubt weather systems usually affected the entire city at once. :) ...
Eddie Guerrero passed away this past Sunday. I’m sitting here watching men and women who worked with him crying as they pay tribute to him both through their words and through their work. They aren’t folks you would normally see cry. You see, Eddie was a professional wrestler.
Recent National Champion Jawad Williams, UNC grad, has played his first game for Spain’s Alta Gestion Fuenlabrada, a team located just outside Madrid. Also, in the same article: Fellow UNC grad Jackie Manuel is about to start the NBADL season with the Fayetteville Patriots. Oddly enough, Wake Forest’s Taron Downey was released from the same team last week. (I don’t know know the reasons behind it, but if he wants to, I hope Taron can play basketball somewhere. He’s an impressive player.) ...
I’m currently trying out the alpha version of Measure Map, a new blog statistics application. So far, so good, and I like the reporting interface. Anyway, since there is code on each page, let me know if you experience any technical problems.
