Star Trek + Nine Inch Nails = Closer

Is this what Kirk/Spock slash fiction is like (if it were set to music)? Warning: use of the word f*ck in the song.

Life After People - The Series

If you haven't had a chance to check out this show on the History Channel yet, make the time to do it.  The visuals are amazing.  I also find it personally heartening that life would continue on even if we all disappeared tomorrow!

Cool collection of monster toys

I've always been interested in the monster craze of the early 60s (even though it was a few years before my time) and this Flickr set is one of the most amazing collections I've ever seen of classic monster toys, models and ephemera.

Veridian Dynamics

Apparently, Veridian Dynamics is from an ABC show called Better Off Ted. I've never seen the show, but I have been enjoying the fake commercials, the website and all the work that went into the branding of a made-up company.

ABC also created this funny "Did you know..." list for their website:

  • Our company has 532,972 and 1/2 employees? That's right, we created half an employee as an experiment -- a successful experiment!
  • Veridian plans to be a leader for future generations, which is why many of our employees are children.
  • Our blueberry toaster waffles were originally created as insulation.
  • and more...
