The Real Dr. Manhattan?
Tsutomu Yamaguchi: “That was the worst business trip ever.”
A 93-year-old Japanese man has become the first person to be certified as a survivor of both US atomic bombings at the end of the second world war, officials said today.
Tsutomu Yamaguchi had already been a certified “hibakusha,” or radiation survivor, of the 9 August 1945 atomic bombing in Nagasaki. Now it has been confirmed that he also survived the attack on Hiroshima three days earlier.
Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on a business trip on 6 August 1945 when a US B-29 dropped an atomic bomb on the city. He suffered serious burns to his upper body and spent the night in the city. He then returned to his hometown of Nagasaki.
“As far as we know, he is the first one to be officially recognised as a survivor of atomic bombings in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki,” said Nagasaki city official Toshiro Miyamoto. “It’s such an unfortunate case, but it is possible that there are more people like him.”
[Octaynor] I’m not sure whether I want to stay as far away as possible from Mr. Yamaguchi, or try to be exactly where he is at all times?

My Ball Droppings
Yes, I haven’t tumbled in a few days. Some may blame work for that, but I blame my ball droppings. This is fun for days.

Love Story Captured in 4500+ images
Title: Notte Sento
“Short film made with 4500+ still photographs. Shot with a Canon EOS 30D camera. Chosen as one of the top 5 projects of the Seagate Creative Fund.
Notte Sento has been featured in numerous websites (IndyMogul, xplsv.tv, Behance.net) and is currently competing in a few short film festivals worldwide. (Learn more at iLoveCut)
Fairly old video, but caught it today for the first time. I didn’t read any description before watching so a part of me was expecting something to go awry (kidnapping, heartbreak, or she ended up in Naples). Turns out to be a pretty tender love story which is beautifully captured in stop-motion. I wonder if the guy always cruises the train station with an extra helmet.

iDaft
If you liked the Keyboard Drums that were previously posted, then you might get a kick out of this one as well. Najle brings you the iDaft Daft Punk Console. I opened up two browser windows and tried mixing this console and the afforementioned Keyboard Drums, but unfortunately I’m not that coordinated. Makes Us After Stronger Over!!! (ROFL).

Kanye x Daft Punk x Justice x YOU
Found this on Katy Perry’s blog. Forget Fruity Loops and MPCs, this is all you need to create the next big hit. I’m currently working on my first beat titled, “The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over the Lazy Dog - (Qwerty Club Mix)”
My favorite key is M, I’m pretty sure it’s George Michaels.

Who to Watch Out For, When Watching Watchmen.
I’m a sucker for big blockbusters, and this weekend saw the release of one of the highly anticipated movies of the year. I was pretty excited to get in on the hype and see why TIME Magazine called this one of the Top 100 novels of all time. So on opening day, naturally, I booked my afternoon off, shouted out to my assistant voicemail to hold all my calls, and caught a matinee showing of Watchmen.
If you’re looking for a review, this is not the place. I doubt the five people who actually read this care what I think of the movie. But for the record, I thought it was great. If you’re thinking, based on the title of this post, that I’m going to meticulously dissect the movie and list discrepancies between the novel and its film adaptation, then again you are mistaken (you can check GeekyRant.com for that list).
All this is, is a summary of the four groups of people in and around the theater that you have a 93.8% chance of encountering when you go watch Watchmen. While eating cool Whip. What did you say? Cool Whip. (Sorry, had to throw that in there)
1) The Super Friends
A rather large group of harmless folks who know every minute detail of the novel. They pre-ordered their tickets weeks in advanced, and although you see them on “opening night,” this is probably their second or third showing after catching the radio station sneak preview, and the midnight screening the night before. You could easily spot this crowd sitting in front of the line waiting to enter the theater, sharing ipod earphones and/or playing Nintendo DS. Caution: Bathing and overall hygiene is not held as a high priority among “super frienders.” Also, make sure to step around the Magic game cards.
2) The Costume Crew
They captured our hearts at every Star Wars premier, and not even The Dark Knight could escape them. Yes, I’m talking about the belles of the ball, The Costume Crew. Although you question their sanity, you have to give them credit for just not giving a damn. You can usually spot this crew by: THE FACT THAT THEY’RE WEARING COSTUMES TO A MOVIE. Although Night Owl and The Comedian would be popular choices, I’d be interested to see someone dressed as Dr. Manhattan, full-frontal style.
3) Pretentious Prick Guy
Ah yes, the pretentious prick who’s been down with Watchmen since it was first printed and scoffs at the masses for hopping on the Archie just now. Throughout the movie you’ll hear this guy point out every one of Director Zack Snyder’s “mistakes” and will even bring his copy of the book and read along as proof. You can easily spot this guy as he is the same one who got mad when Facebook opened up to everyone, and tweeted about how Twitter is dead because everyone has a Twitter now.
4) The Lost and Dumbfounded
Had I not read half the book, I would have just as easily fallen into this group myself. These are the ones who got lured by the sexy trailer shown during The Dark Knight, and thought, “Robert Downey Jr. in another comic film? Sweet!” Little did they know what they were getting into. Unfortunately, these people will never get back the 2 hours and 42 minutes of their lives that they lost.
Happy Watching. God Speed. Got anymore to add?
