Need something interesting to pass an hour ot two, or more?

Go visit openculture.com

The site is a vast repository of links to free audio and video in lots of categories.

So far I've watched a video about black holes, downloaded two audio books (Isaac Asimov's Nightfall and Rudyard Kipling's Rikki-Tikki-Tavi - there are many, many more I will get) and lined up a series of lectures called 'Science, Magic, and Religion' from UCLA. I'm off to dig through the philosophy section next. Then there's the movie list which is described as '420 Free Movies Online: Great Classics, Indies, Noir, Westerns, etc.'

Great stuff! Grow into these trousers... >>

Star Trek

Saw the new movie last night and must say - WOW!

The re-casting of such iconic characters as Kirk, Spock, Bones, Scotty, Uhura, Sulu and Chekov is very well done. There's good character development and lots of action. Best of all, it's funny.

If you are in any way a Trek fan go see it. If you're not a Trekkie try it anyway, you may be converted. I'll give it 9/10. Grow into these trousers... >>
