Reporter Bob Wilton is in search of his next big story when he encounters Lyn Cassady, a shadowy figure who claims to be part of an experimental U.S. military unit. According to Cassady, the New Earth Army is changing the way wars are fought. A legion of “Warrior Monks” with unparalleled psychic powers can read the enemy’s thoughts, pass through solid walls, and even kill a goat simply by staring at it. Not a terrible movie, but I was expecting more.

An Explosion of Crazy

There I Fixed It

A friend sent me an email with a set of photographs of some do-it-yourself projects that remind of some things I’ve done, and some things I’ve seen some others do. They come from a site (thereifixedit.com) dedicated to the Rube Goldberg DIY’ers of the world. I’ve put a few of the photos from the email in the post, but had a great time scrolling my way through the site.
