String Theory Explained. Well, sort of; and only if you're a duck

The folks over at Discover magazine recently held a contest. The goal? To explain string theory in two minutes or less in a video. Here's the winning entry.

Today is. . .

. . .Blog Action day, and the suggested topic is the environment. While it's hard to dispute man's impact on Mother Earth it is hard to scientifically calculate what we've done. And, just to let you know 'the man' is aware of it, they, too, are working on the subject. At least we don't have to get all crazy about it - at least not for now.

Perhaps this Global Warming thing's for real?

It's Nobel season: please take the time to look at this award. It might cause you to think there's something about global warming, after all. Furthermore, it shows a man can do much more out of office than in, as is the case with President Carter.

Apparently, I'm not a movie freak

54% Movie Freak

From a Digg site seen late tonight. I did, for conversation's sake, get the answers right from questions related to The Blues Brothers, The Good The Bad and The Ugly, The Fifth Element, Soylent Green, and Apocalypse Now.

I've been blogged?!

It might not seem like much but I have to admit it was a thrill to discover I was blogged about by someone else. For those of you who don't know, I have another blog site devoted to photos from the Disney theme parks. More than anything, it's a reminder of the time I've spent in those wonderful confines and it's my hope that someone, somewhere, is able to live vicariously through me. Well, enough of that. The thing here is that I was blogged about by someone else and, I have to admit, it's pretty cool. Here's the link.

Let's Not Forget Michael Landon's Plug for EPCOT Center

A wonderful pre-1982 teaser film. Just after most of his years in 'Little House on the Prairie', Michael Landon did a few items for Disney and Co.; this was one of them.

Continuting the Celebration

World Showcase Promotional Film.

Key take-aways from this pre-opening film: 9 countries (Japan, Canada, Italy, France, the UK, Germany, China, Mexico, and the US); great concept art for Canada; emphasis on restaurants and shopping in World Showcase; great construction photos and early 1980's feel.

In Honor of EPCOT Center's 25th

EPCOT Center Future World Promotional Film

For those who had the privilege of visiting EPCOT Center back in 1982-1985 you'll hear/see a reference to the Radok Theater; something I missed but would love to hear your comments if you saw it in person. Even better is the reference to the Sperry UNIVAC system!
