Indominus rex is not your first genetically modified dinosaur...
Jurassic World just came out on BlueRay and digital download. Guess what I watched this week. I had rip-roaring good time watching Jurassic World when it came out in theatres so I was looking forward to another viewing. The special effects were fabulous and the story was straightforward, and I got to watch Chris Pratt ride a Triumph motorcycle alongside velociraptors. The Jurassic World theme park was a fascinating extrapolation of what could have happened if the original Jurassic Park had managed to get off the ground. I enjoyed watching the movie from a science communication/museum exhibits perspective too. The Hammond Creation Centre had the interactive displays and holographic teaching tools that looked pretty effective. The movie, as a whole also touched on the ethics of animals in captivity and animal management.
Saturday Morning Cartoons: Happy Halloween
With Halloween upon us, I thought that the theme of 'fear' would be appropriate for this week's Saturday Morning Cartoons. I've got a handful of scary/creepy cartoons followed by some videos that explain what fear is, why things are creepy or frightening. Hope you enjoy.

Saturday Morning Cartoons: Adventures in Time and Space
With all the hubbub on the internet about Back to the Future Day this past Wednesday, I collected some videos about time and time-travel. I also found a couple of films that talk about neutrinos, which ties nicely to yesterday's blog post.
Buckle up and let's have some adventures in time and space
Let's go!
