Tech Tuesday: Steampunk

I think Wikipedia can more accurately describe this than I, a simple and lowly college student, can, so here's an excerpt from their page on Steampunk:

"Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction characterized by a setting in which steam power predominates as the energy source for industrial technologies,[1] inspired by industrial civilization during the 19th century.

Typically, therefore, works of steampunk are set in an alternate history of the 19th century's British Victorian era or American "Wild West"; in a post-apocalyptic future during which steam power has regained mainstream usage; or in a fantasy world that similarly employs steam power.

Steampunk perhaps most recognizably features anachronistic technologies or retro-futuristic inventions as people in the 19th century might have envisioned them, and is likewise rooted in this era's perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, and art. Such technology may include fictional machines like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne."

Monday Fun-day: The Dark Knight Rises

The Dark Knight Rises is absolutely, without a doubt, among the best superhero movies to have ever been released. The entire Dark Knight series, directed by Christopher Nolan, is a serious, epic take on Batman that sees bits and pieces of all the best best Batman comics thrown in, as well as some modern/futuristic adjustments.

I will try not give too much away here, but fans will not be disappointed in Bane's appearance as the main villain, and he does live up to the expectations. Bale also did a great job portraying Nolan's wise, brooding Bruce Wayne/Batman, although in my opinion he was many times more awesome in The Dark Knight.

Unfortunately, The Dark Knight Rises got a bit of bad press after the theater shoot-up that occurred after a college student from California opened fire on an entire theater screening the new Dark Knight Rises film. It made some people afraid to see the movie, and there were even copycat attempts!

However, the fever has died down, and hopefully so have the copycats.

Check below for a ton of high definition wallpapers for The Dark Knight Rises, in theaters now.

Monday Fun-day: Kitty Cats

Just about everybody in the universe loves kittens and cats. Why, they're pretty much the most guaranteed thing on the internet to get views, but that's not the only reason why this post is here today. It's also a Monday, and what could make the start of the workweek better than cats?

That's right, for you college kids on icanhascheezburger (or whatever it's called) and you cubicle workers with too much time, here's your high definition kitty cat wallpapers:

Monday Fun-day: Sketch Wallpapers

I am quite fond of the "sketch" type of art in all sorts of artwork, so it is only fitting that I at least give one of the Monday Fun-day themes to sketched wallpapers. Below are some that were drawn in pencil, pen, and even on a computer program. Once, back when I was a student in high school, I took an art class and most of what I made was sketched, haha.

Also, if you pay attention, you Whovians out there can catch a great wallpaper for fans of the series. ;D

Wednesday Music #18 - Rusko

If you're a fan of dubstep, this may be right up your alley. Whether you're some middle-aged dude with a taste for the electronic, or a college kid with a passion for bass, everyone can love dubstep.

Today's specific focus is the wonderful dubstep artist, Rusko. He has released so many massive hits that I can't even give a decent list of most. Everyday and Somebody to Love are some of his more popular songs.

Monday Fun-day #17: The Ocean

The ocean is one of our most beautiful resources, and luckily for us water covers over seventy percent of our Earth. Though it can be both the calmest of elements and the most rollicking of tempests, the ocean has always intrigued mankind. It is because of this that we have traversed it so well, and discovered new lands. However, there is much we do not know still about the ocean.

What we do know is that if we continue to destroy our planet, all of our precious water will be the first to go. Already, beaches are filthy and rivers are polluted, but we can still bounce back. The oceans and the rain will revitalize our efforts if we just give it a try.

Love your ocean.

[SPECIAL] Mother's Day

Today is Sunday, though this particular Sunday is special in the United States. May 13, 2012 is the Mother's Day Sunday here in the U.S., and so I figured what better to post for wallpapers than Mother's Day? If you wish to surprise your mother by making her background a "Happy Mother's Day!" wallpaper, then you will be interested in one of the following.

Monday Fun-day #11: The Avengers and Other Superheroes

The Avengers is due to come out real soon, so I thought that the wildcard Monday post should be for the Avengers team and other notable superheroes. Not all are Avengers-related, so if you know a thing or two about comics, see if you can spot the ones that aren't. Tip: it's not as easy as it seems. Not all members are shown in the first Avengers wallpaper!
