I saw it in the theatre at too young an age, but the scene where the astronaut in a spacesuit came through the patio door in E.T. The Extraterrestrial freaked me out as a kid.

    The Chronicles of Riddick

    Yeah I know they made 'Riddick', it's okay and a nice step back into more of what Pitch Black was. But I wanted to know more about the Elementals, the Necromongers, other races that were extinguished, or like the Furyan.. thought to have been purged.

    Edit: Tossing in Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets as a bonus. Another cool world I wanted to see more of.

    Running with this idea and the mythology of the Thirteenth Tribe. Perhaps it does, or did exist after a split or exodus in the time of the first and second sets of cylons. What we're presented is a bottled (at a universal scale) experiment of the remaining 'angels'. The last of the early cylons working from the long dead memories of humanity, still driven by an extermination directive long forgotten by 'modern' cylon iterations.

    Almost a decade ago he came home with me from the shelter, and yesterday I had to say goodbye for the last time. But he had so much personality that I'll never forget him.

    Kevin loved light strokes across the top of his head, his purr would take on a whistling chirp when he was really happy, and nothing would make him short-circuit like seeing a bird out the window.

    Kevin loved to chase a ball and play fetch, one of his favorite things to do was simply take a walk back and forth through the hall with you at his side.

    We learned to live with each other, we annoyed each other, but most of all we loved each other. Nothing will be able to fill the void his passing has created, but memories of him will keep me smiling long into the future.

    I miss you buddy.

    Been using Wyze camera's (Cam OG) for 2+ years. If you load an sdcard into the camera it does store locally, overwriting the oldest footage as it goes. You can then browse the footage on the sdcard and save as a video file via the app. I've done 20+ minute captures of the local wildlife and uploaded to YouTube without issue.

    While I never had one I remember following the build page, and I was crushed when the price point was far too high for me to even consider getting one. However I did ride around with a carputer for some time before an affordable commercial head unit with CD/MP3 capability became available.

    It was an off the shelf IBM desktop in the backseat, powered by an inverter, and controlled by a numeric keypad stuck to the center console with some velcro. Getting music on it required hauling the whole thing in the house, but at the time it felt pretty awesome to have pieced together a solution that worked.

    My first experience with the internet was in the early 90s, when our high school computer science class went to a programming competition held at one of the state universities. While wandering through the library I came across a gopher terminal attached to the campus mainframe. It wasn't much, and at one point I thought I locked it up, but tapping through hyperlinks on that amber monochrome display felt pretty amazing to me at the time.
