NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope photographed stunning light shows on the poles of the largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter. The extraordinary vivid glows shown in the photographs are known as auroras. They are created when high-energy particles, from solar wind or other sources, enter a planet’s atmosphere near its magnetic poles and collide with […]
I’ve created and ordered 52 Round Stickers at MOO, and they arrived some time ago. I ordered the stickers so I could put my logos on my modified Nerf gun, and I just wondered how they would turn out. I’m quite happy with the stickers. They arrived in a handy little box, which can easily be white-labelled. The stickers are not too big and not too small, but just […]
In the Star Trek universe, there are many versions of the starship Enterprise, but the one from the most distant future is currently the U.S.S. Enterprise (NCC-1701-J), better known as the Enterprise-J. Its sleek and futuristic body might not appeal to everyone, but I think it looks gorgeous. It operates in an alternate timeline during […]

I’ve been a busy designing bee lately. After remaking the site logo in Illustrator, I’ve decided to redo my personal astronaut’s helmet logo as well, and I’ve created a GB’s Guns logo to put on my modified Nerf gun, of which I will make a post about in the future. I’ve also created a logo for my imaginary ORCAs, […]
Mercury is one of the least explored planets in the Solar System. It’s the smallest one, with a diameter of 4,879 km (3,032 mi), whereas, in comparison, Earth has a diameter of 12,742 km (7,918 mi), and it’s the closest planet to the Sun. It orbits the sun in 88 Earth days, which is faster than any other planet, and has an average […]
I’ve been wanting to be able to enlarge my site logo for quite some time now, but I couldn’t because I created it kind of small in Photoshop. I shouldn’t have made it in Photoshop to begin with, because it uses pixels, which become a total mess when enlarged, but I’ve never really used another program for these kinds of things, so […]
The 50 Original Business Cards that I created and ordered at MOO arrived some time ago. I’m quite happy with how they turned out. The print quality is excellent, and I’m especially pleased with the quality and thickness of the paper. However, I found out I made a mistake in the designs. MOO has a 2 mm cutting tolerance, so prints will never […]
I’ve been wondering when there’s going to be a good new Star Trek series for quite some time now. After Star Trek: Voyager, which I really liked, came Star Trek: Enterprise, which was a bit of a letdown me for me because I felt they went back in time too much. There’s a new Star Trek series premiering on CBS […]
I’ve created a business card for myself. I thought it might come in handy someday. I designed it using Photoshop. The astronaut’s helmet is made by Johnny Automatic, and comes from a NASA colouring page. The resolution of the designs below is based on the upload specifications of Vistaprint. I planned to order them there, but at the end of the order […]
On 19 February, at the Mojave Air and Space Port in Mojave, California, Virgin Galactic unveiled its second SpaceShipTwo, named VSS Unity. SpaceShipTwo is an air-launched suborbital spaceplane designed for space tourism. The name ‘Unity’ was chosen by British physicist Stephen Hawking, whose eye is prominently featured in Virgin Galactic’s logo. He also gave an […]
On 12 August 2014, P.T., short for playable teaser, was released as a free download for the PlayStation 4. The demo was enthusiastically received, and was truly frightening. It served as an interactive teaser for the game Silent Hills, which would have been the tenth instalment in the Silent Hill series. P.T. gameplay. Silent Hill is a Japanese horror franchise created by Keiichiro Toyama, […]
LCARS is a computer operating system in the Star Trek fictional universe, and an acronym for Library Computer Access/Retrieval System. It’s mostly known for the style of the computer displays, especially the ones in the The Next Generation and Voyager series. The LCARS graphical user interface was designed by Michael Okuda, and influenced by Gene Roddenberry. In homage to its creator, the […]
NASA’s space probe New Horizons sent back the best close-ups of Pluto mankind will probably see for decades. They are the first in a series of the sharpest views of Pluto it obtained during its July flyby. They’ve made a mosaic of the images, which you can find below. The images form a strip 80 km (50 mi) wide on a world 3 […]
We might want to travel the universe to discover alien worlds, but what if I told you, you don’t have to go that far to see some alien landscapes. There are many places on Earth that boggle the mind, and the Dallol volcano in Africa is one of them. When I first saw it, I […]
You won’t believe what kind of mess we’ve made up into our atmosphere! As of 2013, more than 500,000 pieces of debris, the size of a marble or larger, travelling at speeds up to 28,164 km/h (17,500 mph), are orbiting our planet. More than 20,000 pieces are larger than a softball, and millions more are […]
We’re humans from Earth, but in a lot of English sci-fi movies and games, Earth is often referred to as Terra, and humans are subsequently known as Terrans. Sometimes they use the name Gaia, where we would be called Gaians.
I’ve been having terrible allergy problems lately. I knew I had severe dust mite allergy, but I didn’t know it could affect me this much. I couldn’t function properly, and I wasn’t myself anymore! My allergy seems to have gotten worse. I think it’s because of the climate here in Thailand, and also because a […]

Tim Urban has written an amazing in-depth post about how artificial intelligence might develop, what might happen once it reaches a certain level, and what it might mean for mankind. It’s a very interesting read, and a bit scary too, since it might all happen within our lifetimes. Coming soon?
