Speaking of leitmotifs, it’s a primary topic of conversation in this wonderful WNYC radio program about Richard Wagner’s quartet of operas, The Ring Cycle .
It might seem hyperbole to claim, as many Wagnerites do, that The Ring Cycle is "The Greatest Work of Art Ever." But the grandeur and power of this monumental work have permeated our culture from Star Wars to Bugs Bunny to J.R.R. Tolkien.
And Led Zeppelin! The program is hosted by Radio Lab’s Jad Abumrad . (thx, billy & laura) ( link )  Content suppressed by ://URLFAN, for full article visit source

Nieuw BondkatjeFrom: elsibel.com Post Date: 2008-10-27 10:26:12 Misschien wisten jullie al dat de nieuwe Bondgirl Olga Kurylenko dol is op naaktscènes. In deze post voegt ze de daad bij het woord met haar blootpalmares . In 'The Ring' was ze al topless te zien, maar dat is nog niets vergeleken bij haar prestaties in 'The Ring Finger' (een ver afkooksel van de Bondklassieker 'Goldfinger').

I’m pretty sure this ring falls in the top ten signs you might be an alcoholic. Not necessarily just owning it, because it is a cheap novelty ring so owning doesn’t mean much. Yet wearing a ring on a daily basis just to ensure that you can easily pop your beer open might be a sign you’re a slight addict. Just select your ring size, pay the $9.98 and the ring ships out in 24 hours. Meaning you could easily have it for a weekend of binge drinking. ... more  Photos of the New TNA iMPACT SetFrom: cramthis.com Post Date: 2008-10-27 18:49:30 - Below are photos of the new TNA iMPACT set from tonight’s tapings in Orlando:

Last week’s Singularity Summit spent a lot of time talking about the exact point at which computer processing power would match that of the human brain, but that’s only the first step. There’s the software to make the hardware do stuff, and then there’s the whole question of consciousness. At that point, you’ve strayed from computer science into philosophy and you might as well be arguing about angels on the heads of pins.

Well according to CVG the next instalment in the LEGO franchise will be LEGO Harry Potter. We have already had LEGO Star Wars, Indianna Jones and the more recent LEGO Batman, so it’s not much of a shock if it were to be true. They suspect the game may release next year as a tie-in with the movie which is also due for an 09 release. Would you like a Harry Potter LEGO game? What other type’s of LEGO games would you like to see?

If it does, I’ll be sure to grab it…and be severely let down.

1. Curbed has new renderings of what the park is going to look like. Here’s phase 1 (Gansevoort St. to 20th) and phase 2 (21st to 30th). They’re calling it a park but from the drawings it seems more like a glorified sidewalk.
2. Photos of the High Line taken last weekend show how much progress is being made on construction.

Runners in lane eight got off the mark on average about 150 milliseconds after runners in lane one, Dapena found. A time delay of that magnitude translates to about a metre’s difference at the finish line.

If, in two years, there are tens or even hundreds of thousands of old photographs previously unavailable to the general public from collections all over the world -- all tagged, geocoded, annotated, contextualized, and available to anyone with a web browser -- that would be an amazing resource for exploring our recent history.
