“If something burns your soul with purpose and desire, it’s your duty to be reduced to ashes by it. Any other form of existence will be yet another dull book in the library of life.”

Do you want to pretend you’re on a starship? By more than just engine sounds?
Then do I have the YouTube channel for you!
I use white noise videos a lot lately to drown out my dad’s snoring, but oh my god this is the best.
YouTube user ender4lyfe has made a number of starship ambience white noise videos, but unlike other starship white noise videos, the sound is not just limited to the sound of the engine or warp core. They have included a multitude of other sound effects to make you really feel like you’re right there on the starship, including opening doors, button bloops, and even conversations among the crew in the background! In the Voyager Warp Core one (which is the one in the thumbnail), you can hear B’Elanna and Tom arguing quietly in the background, and in Ten Forward, you can hear Keiko talking about her day.Included in the channel are:
- TOS USS Enterprise Bridge
- TNG USS Enterprise-D Bridge (+ extended version which is an hour long)
- TNG Ten Forward
- TNG USS Enterprise-D Engineering Warp Core
- TNG Cargo Bay
- VOY USS Voyager Bridge
- VOY USS Voyager Engineering Warp Core
- DS9 Infirmary
- DS9 Quark’s Bar (Busy Night)
- DS9 Quark’s Bar (Slow Night)
- DS9 Station OPS
Go forth and let your imagination soar, fellow officers (or foreign dignitaries, civilians, crew families, etc.)!
Oh my god, I need to wire speakers through my entire apartment and have one of these playing all the time.
a year or so ago i wrote a big post about how microsoft’s retooling of skype’s network infrastructure just so happened to make wiretapping trivially easy and it just so happened to be done after the fbi asked them to make wiretapping easier, and some dude got on my case about how the government would never do something like that and microsoft would never allow them to
OKAY I KNOW IT’S ONLY 7 SECONDS LONG BUT IT’S SO WORTH IT JUST PRESS PLAY. PLEASE.

A Lonely God - a series of slightly sad superhero posters.
I’m in love with this
I was just talking to an artist yesterday about the tendency to crop things really close and tight in order to enhance drama. If it’s overdone — which happens frequently with artists—you start to feel like you’re watching a movie through a hole in a sheet.
Pull the camera out. Be brave enough to let the reader orient.
Occasionally, in the right moment, pull the camera way, way out even. How does that effect the emotional beat?

Shameless Wednesday GPOY. Things are in flux. Exciting things are on the table. I’m stoked for what the future holds. Leaving for DPW in 32 days.
Phantom.
In an interview this morning, GOP Rep. Eric Cantor reveals that any Congressional focus on the NSA data-mining programs will not be on whether those programs were excessive or on outstanding questions about them; rather the focus will be on whether the leaker broke any laws. In case you had any doubt about Congress’ priorities here.
