Movie: Iron Man; I loved it!

O_O
Finally got to see Iron Man. I know, I know...

I think I held my breath through most of it. Fantastic. Absolutely loved it. Maybe a little too much.
It wasn't one of the comics I got to read growing up so I have no canon to contend with, and got to simply enjoy:
A. Robert Downey Jr (who makes a fantastic Sherlock) portray one hot-diggity-damn Tony Stark.
B: JARVIS! I'm sorry, but that's Paul Bettany in there, and I love that guy. Have since he was Dr. Stephen Maturin, Surgeon, Naturalist, in "Master and Commander: Far Side of the World".
C: Stan Lee as Hugh Heffner (rock on).
D: I have to admit that the original mask Stark fabricates makes me want to watch Rocketeer. :P
E: Pepper Potts. She's pretty much a superhero on her own. What do you have to do to be the "administrative assistant" to a guy that brilliant? I want to see her resume and transcripts. I love her character!

One problem: Each time Iron Man gets chucked to the ground from a couple floors up, at greater than the speed of gravity (by the way), not once does he turn to jelly. Seriously. What kind of shock absorption material is he padding the inside of that suit with? Crash-lands hard to enough to end up waist deep in desert sand, but only injures his shoulder. Stop defying the laws of physics with your non-alien superhero! He's one I like because he's a brainiac, not a fairy!

Pepper Potts:
Picks up dry-cleaning, takes out the trash.

PS. OMG OMG OMG! This is why you stay for the credits (HUSBAND)!

Loved it. Adored it. I'd rewind and watch it again if I didn't have other Avenger movies to catch up on.

Rrrrrrawr.
I'm aware this isn't the most constructive post, but it did give me an excuse to be all fan-girl for a moment. And it's my blog darn it!

School, Geekery, and Science!

Woops! I did not notice that my posts were getting stuck in "draft"! Here's what been published late: 20120805-11 Curiosity and News . News: KY Evolution, Medieval Germanic War . In Life: Img Src School has started again and I've got four classes, Organic Chemistry I, Genetics, Introduction for Teaching, and Introduction to Technology for Educators. For those of you of my generation let me emphasize that the latter is "intro to, technology for educators" and not "intro to technology, for educators". If you don't know the difference: instead of teaching me "Intro to Tech" (typing, how to use word, excel, etc, all that jazz) I'll be learning the programs that educators tend to use nowadays to organize students' grades, build digital classrooms, work through how the law pertaining to teaching interacts with the law pertaining to technology, etc. I'll be keeping two blogs for the class and uploading my final projec...

Star Trek Diplomas: All of them. I think.

Image
So... StarTrek.Com has released a Starfleet Academy Diploma.  I wanted to see if the design was supported by canon (because I'm a huge fact-check nerd) and in my quest collected what I think to be all the diploma designs officially used on the show. I'm still looking though, so if you find one I don't have here, please leave a comment! Confirmed authentic : Voyager epi "Non Sequitur". It appears to be the first time a diploma had been shown, if rabid Trekkers diligently duplicating it is any indication. If you register at the LCARSc site, you can download a free template to make your own! (ref: http://www.lcarsc.com/entry.php/34-Freebie-Friday-Starfleet-Diploma ) Confirmed authentic:  Enterprise : "Storm Front, Part II" Earlier in storyline, later in established canon. Found via http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Starfleet_Academy_majors Official StarTrek.Com diploma (Released 2012):  I can't find any epi screenshot t...

Classroom Architect

One of my assignments for Intro to Tech for Educators was to design a classroom (to certain specifications). I'm posting it here A: Because it's neat.  B: In case the file upload goes wrong.  C: Look! I made it a science classroom! Look's like the one I had when I was in 7th grade science! Bangarang!
