Adam and Jamie's fun new show: Unchained Reaction

[Video Link] Our MythBusting pals, Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, have a new series on the Discovery Channel called Unchained Reaction. It airs Sundays at 10PM (the new season of MythBusters is on Sundays, too). Here's an exclusive peek at the upcoming episode, which features a team of engineers from NASA vs. a team of Special Effects & Prop Animators. The theme is "Fire & Ice".

H. P. Lovecraft died 75 years ago today. His stories are strange, cold and full of cosmic hopelessness. Sci-fi and horror fiction owes him a huge debt. Many of his tales have been adapted for the big screen and often with great effect but, to my mind, none of them have ever quite bottled the peculiar eldritch lightning that is Lovecraft. I hope that Del Toro might get his version of At The Mountains of Madness off the ground one day but in the mean time, keep an ear out for the radio adaptation read by Richard Coyle, my personal favourite Lovecraft adaptation......

Million Hoodie March for Trayvon Martin under way in NYC

A large crowd of protesters, between 2,000 and 5,000 by various estimates, are marching through the streets of New York right now to draw attention to the killing of Trayvon Martin. The Florida teen was shot to death last month, in a case that has generated widespread outrage online.
Tim Pool has been running a live video stream of the march.
Here's a quick link to the relevant Twitter hashtag (#millionhoodiemarch), to follow tweets from people who are there. Seems like a lot of youth are present at this one, perhaps more so than at recent Occupy marches in New York. People are wearing hoodies, carrying bottles of iced tea and throwing Skittles in the air: Trayvon was wearing one, and holding that candy and beverage when he was shot. So far, police presence is high, but interactions are peaceful, and the crowd is doing its thing without much NYPD aggression. That could change before the night is through.
The parents of the slain teen are present, and addressed the crowd earlier
