The origin of awesome. The final frontier. The last bastion of exploration.

Entry to Video Contest: The Past Re-imagined as the Future – “Make Space, Not War”

After several weeks of planning and tossing around a handful of ideas, 2 weeks of dedicated work on combining two ideas into one new idea, and a grueling 3 day edit fest, I have completed my video remix for the Free Music Archive and Prelinger Archives hosted video contest “Sound for the Moving Image : The Past Re-imagined as the Future.”

 

Make Space, Not War

You’ll have to sign up for a Free Music Archive account. It’s a great website and they provide a great service. The people who run it are awesome as well. Do it. I’d recommend it even to not vote for my video.

They were building massively huge Intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) in order to launch their awkwardly large and unsophisticated nuclear arsenal. The US was streamlining the tech.

NASA is walking in the footprints of dinosaurs

“One small step for man. One giant… huh… dinosaAAAAAAUUUUGGG!” [Chomp!] Dinosaur footprints have been found at the grounds of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. This combines my love for space exploration and dinosaurs in one convenient degree of separation. Then I stumbled upon this… This person, Piya Wannachaiwong, is a great artist.

What causes your mind to ride a wave of awe?

My love of Space has been one of the few constant passions in my life. I, for whatever reason, let it take a back seat for what feels like a decade and focused on Earthly fascinations; trying to bag dirty pirate hookers. But like an unstoppable cosmic ray birthed from a quasar hitting me squareContinue Reading
