Try and get them to start at the same time...

Pause the goat until the song starts. So worth it. I'm going to put the vids on the jump so you can have it load without having interference with the rest of the page loading.

PPS, changed it back.

The Known Universe

Keeping with the astronomy theme, thought I'd share this vid with you. All these views of the vastness of space and our universe has put me in a philosophical mood. Can't wait for the semester to be over so I can start reading for pleasure as opposed to reading for memorization.

Carl Sagan, Still Auto-Tuned

I've been reading a lot on astronomy recently. Especially after reading up on the Ultra Deep Field Image. If you guys don't know what it is I would suggest looking it up. Here are some links to some overviews from Giz.

Essentially areas that we thought were devoid of anything actually have hundreds of thousands of galaxies. Just to put that in perspective, there are about 100 billion stars in the Milky Way, our galaxy. You can extrapolate as to how many planets that would be. With this new data they are estimating that there are some where around 100 billion galaxies in the universe. I don't even know what 100 billion x 100 billion equals. Kind of humbling, no?

Anyhoo, the reason I am posting this is because I talk Lisa's ear off about this stuff. To add to the torture I have been making her listen to the Carl Sagan autotuned video on youtube a lot. She asked me why I hadn't posted it on TripleChimp, I thought I had. So this is for her. There is a lot more info, but I'll let you watch the video that I am placing after the autotune for it. I apologize if you have already seen this.

More Team Radio Shack News

Here is a first look at the Team Radio Shack's team bicycle. I was too lazy to get all the pics so I am only posting one here. IF you are too lazy to follow the link to see the rest of 'em, then that's fine too.

Sorry for the small pic. The interwebs really slow down in the evenings here. Wouldn't dang upload the higher res file. OK, so nothing is uploading. I'll do it tomorrow.


Yes! It worked!!

Yet Another Gift... !

Chiptunes plus + decent rap + plus copious amounts of nintendo reference. Enjoy, my amigos.

Doggy Christmas!!

Heres wishin' ya a very merry Christmas from Eleni, Efren and most of all Temo.

Commander Gorgo UPDATE!

Skin texture typically pushes a sculpt from "neat!" into a more organic, naturalistic rendering. Sharp needle tools are used to make "stretched" pores and wrinkles, a round ball-lookin' tool is used to make pores (thousands of 'em... very tedious), and then a citric-based solvent is used to smooth it all out and make it natural-looking... Pics of Gorgo's craggy skin after the jump...

Head-on shot of Gorgo's face. Note that the "pores" on the top left portion of the image aren't smoothed out yet with the solvent...


Side angle for light contrast.


And finally, a close-up of the skin around the eye-goggle.


Lemme know what you think, guys!
Cheers!

Bobby Mcferrin is awesome.

Wouldn't you guys want to be in this audience? I love how good they all sound. You know that most of the people in the room have to have shitty singing voices. Enjoy.

Team Radio Shack Cycling Kit

Team Radio Shack has finally released what their jerseys are gonna look like. I have to say I'm a little disappointed. I expected something a little more modern/awesome. With a team that has so many superstars on it, wouldn't you also want to be the ones that look the most professional while also looking the most badass? What do you guys think?

Who's Coming With Me?

Tonight is the unveiling of Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo is tonight. Giz put up some picks I thought I would share with ya. I would love to be able to afford a trip like this. More pics after the jump.



PS I hear this is what the spacesuits look like.

We need more shows like this. This seems like it would be my new favorite show. Apparently it is just a concept right now. How do we get this made and shown in the US?

Im not really sure how to set this up. Just watch... in HORROR!!



In the girls defense, if the guy has been there for months and not going to school or getting a job... shes justified in being upset.
But why destory the mans PSTriple? She should have sold it and all of his games instead. What say you?

Naughty Dog is about to do what a whole lot of game companies should be doing: giving us quality DLC for FREE! If you played the first Uncharted this should look familiar.

Video Games | Uncharted 2: Among Thieves | The Fort DLC Map Flythrough

XBox 360 | Playstation 3 | Nintendo Wii

Can't wait for this to hit! Assuming CoD:MW2 took a sizable chunk out of Uncharted's online activity, I bet Naughty Dog cant wait for it to hit either!
