  The Atomic Cafe

  (History)
  [ 1:25:33 - from YouTube ]

  This New Year marked the world entering its eighth decade of nuclear proliferation, a grim milestone that sadly seems rather ordinary. This feature-length documentary was a sensation when it was first released in 1982 not only for its spectacular archival footage but also the darkly comic spin it put on the "duck and cover" ethos of the Nuclear Age.  view

  Halo Seabat's Mechanical Swamp Kirin

  (Computers / Tech, Cultural)
  [ 1:01 - from YouTube ]

  Here's a short document of a cool monster puppet idling down a hallway at a science fair.  The creators of the puppet call it a "Mechanical Swamp Kirin," which sounds good to me.  This is the kind of thing that would have made me flip when I was a kid. view
