I think naming a wooden roller coaster Terminator: Salvation, The Ride is a bit odd, but Six Flags Magic Mountain (in Valencia, CA) did just that. I’m not entirely sure if it was once a different roller coaster, or if it’s entirely new, but it does have a little bit of technology to it – […]
I’m in Nags Head this weekend. Mrs. Awesome apparently loves it here, but I’ve decided that this is the least geeky place IN THE WORLD. It’s two roads of restaurants and cheesy stores, and a beach – us geeks hate the beach! In addition, the closest comic shop is…wait for it…OVER AN HOUR AWAY! The […]
I think zombies should be a prerequisite for all music videos. Richard Raaphorst, friend of IoM and ultra talented writer/director of the upcoming Army of Frankenstein, just let us know that his newest project, a music video for the band Elle Bandita called “Barbies & Zombies,” is now available on his official site!

The new Star Trek score has a lot to live up to – the scores for all the original movies are all very memorable (some for good reasons, some for bad), and even the TV shows had great scores and themes (I especially love the Deep Space Nine theme). Still, with a changing of the […]
….but please please please let this happen!!!!!!!! From the Orlando Sentinel, Has the parent company of Universal Orlando sniffed around the parent company of SeaWorld Orlando? General Electric Co. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Immelt won’t say outright, but he sure makes it sound like his company has at least kicked the tires at […]
I came across this little gem over the weekend, a video demo-ing a comic shop locator for iPhone. Okay, first… too damned cool. Second? Who’s releasing it? The YouTube entry is posted by Diamond Comics, who distribute comics and created the web incarnation of the Comic Shop Locator. Okay, but who is developing this thing? […]
