Review: People Like Us

Here's an interesting question: what happens when a screenwriter best known for big, dumb, loud, effects-laden genre films gets the chance to make the movie he really wants to make? That's exactly what happened to Alex Kurtzman; the co-writer of Transformers, Star Trek and Cowboys and Aliens is now the writer (with Robert Orci and Joel Lambert) and director of People Like Us, an intimate and beautiful film that is the exact polar opposite of the work for which he is best known.

The law in this part of space is not only strict, but also strictly geared to robot pilots.

* A ship can only revisit a complete route from one planet to another after exhausting every other possible complete route between those two planets...

Wired Catches Up With Caine?s Arcade

In April of this year, Caine's Arcade became a viral phenomenon; Nirvan Mullick's short film has so far gathered almost 3 million views on YouTube and more than that on Vimeo. It seemed that everyone was fascinated by the story of the inventive nine-year-old and his cardboard arcade. I got Mullick on the phone for a short conversation to follow up on what's happened with Caine and his arcade since the story broke.

GeekDad Puzzle of the Week: Potato Hamster at Large

Potato Hamster is at large. On Sunday morning, GeekDad Day, we found the top exercise wheel portion of her cage on the floor, leaving a hole, and the hamster was nowhere to be found. The folks at the pet store recommend placing cookie sheets with a light coating of flour and a peanut-buttered apple in each room to discover her general whereabouts and then a small trashcan with another peanut-buttered apple in the bottom, stairs of books leading to its lip to catch Potato. My Facebook friends recommend getting a cat.

Robots are cool. I know that's a given but I just had to say it. There are plenty of easy kits out there that can get you started in robotics. The problem with many beginner robot kits is that they are limited in the amount of space you have to experiment and expand on the basic kit. The team over at SparkFun Electronics has put together a kit that overcomes the limitations of some beginner robotics systems.

A Start Up Trek ? Crossroads

So the slow progress may turn out to be a blessing in disguise. I'm getting a crash course in business, which has been much more fun than it would have if I wasn't motivated by starting a business. I'm slowly learning how to implement my idea much better than if I had just bought the equipment and hung out a sign, which was my original plan. And I got to make a running joke about money market accounts, which has to be a first in the annuals of human history. As I develop a more thought out and serious implementation of my MindGear idea my next challenge will be to do all this and stay within budget. I wish I had planned for a larger reserve.
