quote [ Poised on a sandstone ridge in the brutal landscape near Virgin, Utah, riders are free to choose whatever line they dare between an established start gate and the finish line 1,500 vertical feet below. ]
But the live stream is now on Demand! I'm a big mountain biker and do my share of dirt jump and freeride, but this is another level. Finals just finished today, watch the three hour stream while it's still available in the link.

quote [ Having supervised the visual effects on Iron Man 2, Janek Sirrs was well suited to return for Joss Whedon's Avengers. Along with producer Susan Pickett, the visual effects supervisor oversaw the creation of approximately 2200 shots completed by several vendors. ]
So, I worked on this film in a small capacity (my name is in the credits, w00t). As many of you know, it made over 200 million this weekend in the US and over 650 million worldwide within 12 days.

Caspian Border is a multi-faceted, vehicle heavy map that exemplifies classic Battlefield gameplay. ]

quote [ California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed Senate Bill 1449 into law, which effectively decriminalizes minor marijuana possession. If you're caught with less than one ounce of marijuana, your offense will be treated as an infraction (like a parking ticket) rather than a misdemeanor (which requires a court appearance). As an infraction, a simple pot bust will be punishable by a $100 fine. ]
Finally. Prop 19 is a big one too this November. We'll see how that plays out.

quote [ People buying ammunition in California will soon have to be thumbprinted and dealers will have to keep records of sales, under legislation that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into law. ]
This is complete bullshit. I don't understand how this will prevent any crimes. Basically, if you buy any ammo, you will need to get fingerprinted.. This state is getting crazier by the day.

quote [ Aurgasm brings to you an eclectic menagerie of aural pleasures. I scout out music you've never heard and deliver only the finest. Expect music curiously different, yet simply enjoyable. ]
Surprised this site hasn't popped up. It was in the extended entry of 2005 post, but never on its own.
[music] [by caretaker@3:11pmGMT] [+10 Good] [12 comments] Here's an excellent site with downloadable mp3s and in-browser playable music (full song tracks, none of that 30 sec crap). Also has a link to buy the CD if available! |

quote [ Being amazed at how fantastic the HD transfer of Fellowship of the Ring looked, I decided to compare it to the transfer on the DVD. Now, the DVD transfer is among the best you can find on DVD, so this really is comparing the respective creams of the crops. ]
A pretty graphic representation of the differences between HD and DVD, using Lord of the Rings as the example. Cool.
