Website TrailerAddict leaked the trailer footage shown at ComicCon of the new Marvel film X-Men Origins: Wolverine, that’s centered around popular Marvel comics X-Men character Wolverine, with some Sabretooth and Strider and Gambit action, it would seem. I can’t wait for a more official version to be released, but for now it looks like this…
Emmersive Sci-Fi Podcast “The Leviathan Chronicles”
The audio book has long been a literary tradition pretty much since the first years of audio recording. When radio became widespread, serial-format shows were often broadcast in the evenings after most American families had finished dinner and were settling down. Now, we listen to broadcasts in all sorts of ways: iPods, streaming audio, the…

Heath Ledger is being nominated for a posthumous Oscar for his performance as the Joker, Christian Bale is back as the new Batman, Michael Caine returns as Alfred, and Morgan Freeman makes his short appearance as Gadget Guy (I can’t be…
American Beer Giant Budweiser Bought By Belgium Company
Look, I’m not one to drink Budweiser unless there’s just nothing else around. It tastes like pisswater and makes you feel full and bloated. It’s generally not the smoothest thing in the world. But this morning on both NPR and WNOX Knoxville’s Talker I heard that they were bought in an almost 50 billion dollar…

Bye Bye, DRM – Hello Manageable Music!
Since the legitimate sales of digital music downloads began, record labels and recording artists have been looking for ways to protect their intellectual (ha, if you can call it that) property. Copyright law alone was not enough to enforce rights protection, so before many would let their music be sold online, they required a system…
The Raging Tech on “Nom”

For example: “Hey Jimmy, this cupcake is delicious… NOM NOM NOM NOM.” The “Nom” also carries with it a connotation…
Honda Commercials Are Awesome!
I’ve posted some Honda commercials here before – but you should realize by now that Honda has a pretty good marketing group. They have some funny commercials, but you’ll also notice they have some that show off how bad-a their cars can be. I have owned my Acura TL 3.2 for about a year and…
Oh Quizmasters, You’ve Never Been More Wrong
It is my firm belief that the following test is skewed, and does not properly account for computer geeks or gamers, who have an unbelievable practiced speed-click ability with a computer mouse. This seems like an entirely silly way to determine someone’s caffeination levels. If you want a truly scientific method, test your blood. The…
James McAvoy & Ron Perlman in New Hobbit Movie
Guillermo del Toro and Peter Jackson’s latest incarnation of The Hobbit is still in the planning stages, and rumors abound about who and what will be involved. Del Toro was recently quoted as saying he wants Hellboy actor Ron Perlman in the film, possibly as Smaug, although he says he also has ‘other plans’ in…
