Dust 514: official trailer

As typical from CCP, fantastic graphics and cohesive artistic styles. It's a great reminder of how large the space ships are.

Heat Map of UCD Bike Accidents

With the Tour over, I haven't really posted a lot of bike related things. But I guess with the new year, there's a nice slew of bike accidents on and off campus. I found this heat map that a UCD grad student set up that analyzes the number of bike accidents at a given intersection or street. It doesn't give super rich data, but I think it gets the point across.


I'm glad to learn that I do indeed have the safest route to and from campus (5th->4th->3rd->campus). I'm a bit surprised at how many accidents there are along 8th Street though. I also thought it was interesting that there were no metrics on accidents on campus. But then I realized, every intersection on campus probably has an accident. It probably also goes unreported too. And how unsurprising, downtown and 5th street are clusterfucks.

If you have time, I'd also recommend his blog post on the matter. In a nutshell, his sister was hit head on by a car:

Anyways, ride safe out there.

The Asian Spanish Teacher - Community

Community has a lot of energy. The best I can characterize it as is a funny version of How I Met Your Mother. Like, my eyes don't bleed what I watch it. There are no pretenses of reality, they are all characters and they're all obviously dysfunctional.

TBK - Dune

Man, this comic brought me back. Came across it will reading Truck Bearing Kibble on the bus - trying to hide it so other passengers don't think I'm some sort of sexual deviant.

Dune's one of those awesome franchises that never really got a chance to come into it's own. It's unfortunate really. I'd say that it's on the same level of Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. That's right Ryang! I admit, Star Trek doesn't have as compelling a story as Star Wars. But what we lack in story we make up in pewpew and Captain Picard.
