Ray Bradbury talks about his love of comics
It’s nice to know that Ray Bradbury is such a comic geek. I found this over at Tor.
Science, Art and Bay Area culture
I had a really great time today talking to a seminar on scientific visualization and art, at the University of Colorado, Boulder, hosted by Dr. Stephanie V. Chasteen. Stephanie previously held my current position as a post doctoral fellow at the Exploratorium. The talk focused on my transition from a […]
Awsome video of the Uira Engine in action
Wow. This HD video is short, but really captures a bit of the Uira Engine’s high voltage effect. This was shot by Sean Donnelly, the photo/video journalist who followed our work on the Raygun Gothic Rocket. This is just a snippet of a large piece that Sean is working on. […]
The Triaparator and The Dihemispheric Chronaether Agitator at the Sonoma County Museum
Tonight I went to the opening of “Envisioning the World: The First Printed Maps 1472-1700,” at the Sonoma County Museum, which featured The Triaparator and The Dihemispheric Chronaether Agitator. The show was really great. The maps are really stunning in their history and beauty. It was a real honor to […]
Bell X1 sounds like The Talking Heads
So I head this great song through the static on the radio the other day and I swore it was either a Talking Heads, or David Byrne song that I’d never heard before or was new. Of course I could not remember any of the lyrics (other then there was […]

The Raygun Gothic Rocket in Time
Our man David Shulman delivers the straight dope on the RGR in this interview for Time — that “dielectric barrier discharge” he’s talking about is our Uira Engine. This was a really nice short piece and David does a great job :
Stingray Sam is my new hero who’s not a hero — a review
Last night I, and about 15 Raygun Gothic Rocket crew, went to the SF premiere of Cory McAbees awesome new space western musical move — Stingray Sam. Of course, it was no real shock that it was such an amazingly original film. McAbee is responsible for creating The American Astronaut, […]

Stingray Sam
Awesome. More Space Western Musical from the creators of The American Astronaut which was probably one of the biggest inspirations for the Raygun Gothic. Get more here at Cory Mcabees site.
Machine with Concrete by Arthur Ganson
This machine was inspired by dreaming about gear ratios and considering the unexpected implications of exponential powers. Each worm/worm gear pair reduces the speed of the motor by 1/50th. Since there are 12 pairs of gears, the final speed reduction is calculated by (1/50)12. The implications are quite large. With […]
