Sunday Things - Monday edition
posted in Links by Cargo Cult on Monday September 9 2013
Is this Sunday Things late - or exceptionally early? You decide. I still have four minutes left of Monday. So there!
In media news, go see Upstream Colour, from the creator of Primer. People claim it's inscrutable and overly mysterious; I found it fantastic and pretty straightforward to follow. Probably because I've already been fascinated by slightly-spoilery stuff on Wikipedia.
Stalin's Rope Roads - the mining town of Chiatura, Georgia (no, not that one) is laced together with elderly, Soviet-era cablecars. Lovely.
The Cold War Bunker That Offered Subterranean Suburbia Below Las Vegas - like something straight out of Fallout, this bunker would allow its occupants to live out the apocalypse in style. The British approach was far less luxurious.
Rocket Shop - eat your heart out, Kerbal Space Program - Copenhagen Suborbitals is here, and making their own spacesuits. I've yet to decide if this inexpensive suborbital space programme is amazing or terrifying. Possibly both. via phuzz
Bonus Analogue Video corner:
- Scan Processor Studies - whatever a 'Rutt-Etra Scan Processor' is, I want one.
- Synaesthesia - 'a Grass Valley video switcher console with input from a studio camera aimed at a monitor' - again, I don't think it's supposed to do that...

My monday mornings (time differences, you know) for the last month or so have been measurably less enjoyable!
