Omorka's Lair

Anyone call for more Walter Peck? Cracked has an unusual perspective. (Jennifer makes an appearance, too, as does a non-existent Zener card.)

And yeah, if they didn't violate a couple of building codes, it's because nobody thought to make completely insane uses of the power grid illegal . . .

1: Pick five fandoms. List them in alphabetical order.
2: Visit this site for a random poem. Write down the 5th line (yes, even if it's an E.E. Cummings poem and you wind up with an apostrophe). Repeat five times and -- you guessed it -- list the lines in alphabetical order! (No cheating, mind! This is a challenge and it's always been about creativity.)
3: Write a very quick 50-word half-drabble for each fandom (try to do it all in one sitting -- make your brain explode!), using the line from the poem as a prompt. You don't have to include it in the half-drabble -- it's just inspiration.
4: Bravo! Have a cookie.

Fandoms:
Buckaroo Banzai

Lines:

( But Between me and you )
( how a diamond comes into a knot of flame )
( will ignite the passions )
( will see him up, car-radio-wise. So many, some )

A recut trailer for My Favorite Movie - set to the Inception score.

The Tau Manifesto, or why 2π is more important than π. As a trig teacher, I'm one of the culprits here. And while I don't think the half-turn/full turn distinction makes that much of a difference, mathematically - twos are a dime a dozen in formulae, anyway, and I prefer Euler's formula with the negative sign - I agree that getting kids to remember that π radians is half a circle can be tricksy.

Late. Like everything else, lately. *sigh* Not as impressive as some of the last ones, but still kind of long.

Much smaller than last time! Also less smutty. I really am going to try to do these at least once a month. The original intent was fortnightly, but that didn't seem to work out.

I don't know much about design, and honestly I hate the colors on these, but still: I want these posters. (Especially "Detect." But y'all figured that out already, right?)
