Whenever I’m visiting another city and I see a street that has the same name as one in my city, I like to imagine that it’s actually the same street and it goes crosses deserts, forests, plains, mountains, etc. all the way back to my town. Anyway, the real longest street in the US is Colfax Avenue in Denver. It’s just under 50 miles long and runs east-west through metropolitan Denver.

Amazon’s Fallout show comes out today and the review embargo has lifted. Looks like it’s getting great reviews, some saying it’s the second best video game adaptation after The Last of Us.

Someone tracked down modern HD versions of all the video clips from Skinny Puppy’s Worlock video from 1989 and edited them into a new HD version of the classic music video. I admire the amount of work that went into this.

Cool collection of space colony concept art from a study that NASA/Ames and Stanford University conducted in 1977. A PDF of the study is available here. I love these optimistic looks at living in outer space. These kinds of massive, toroid-shaped space stations feature prominently in a lot of sci-fi. I like the juxtaposition of the familiar earth-like houses and plazas under the giant windows and artificial sky of the inner ring.
