Video Grandpa #1

A silly family movie with very bad everything.

SHAZiZZ

SHAZiZZ, a Mad Scientist I meet a few days ago.

You can find him on You Tube.

Time Cloak

The military has invisibility and now I've read about a Time Cloak. I can't say I understand the science at all of the story I read. Something about slowing light down to hide something.

I wonder how much is invented in secret only to be reinvented later in the public world?

Double Dogma

I have many bad pictures of myself. The above picture is of me with an insane smile on my face and my grandson bored with just another photo op. Looking at this picture I think of a question my oldest son once asked me when he was a boy.

"Do you believe in Science or Religion dad?"

"I don't believe in either one."

"What!?"

"One is the politics of faith and the other is the politics of facts."

"What do you believe in?"

"I believe in Imagination. That is much better than the double dogma that most people believe in."

Is your life eaten by the Jesus Fish or the Darwin Fish? Are you still fishing like me and using your imagination to think about what is really in the water of life?

Bad Light

People riot for high priced shoes made by child labor half a world away. Grown men keep child rape a secret for years because they worship a game. A fool thinks he's winning when all he is doing is eating his own ego. So much for the headlines of last year.

This year my government is banning the incandescent light bulb (100 watt) and I feel this is as dumb and vile as anything I read last year. Tomorrow I go to buy some LED bulbs as I hate the poor light from CFL bulbs.

The rest of this post is in the comments......

1977 to 2012

"Original" 1977 knock off poster.

2012 rework of poster using paste up of photos from movie. I limit myself to 15 minutes a day on this fan project. Very little of the first drawing will remain when I finish this version.

My plans for a 3-D model based on Jason Weatherly's blueprint.

Dropping The Ball

"Come upstairs and see this!"

"No thanks, I've seen ball lightning before. I'll stay in the basement."

The storm raged outside, filling the sky with the dance of light and the echo of thunder.

Somehow I get to sleep in the basement but I dream about the ball lightning.

more to come...
