A while back in November, there was some talk about the TSA's now policies on full body scanners and aggressive pat-down policies that were rather... ridiculous. Every since 9/11 the government has changed and beefed up to extreme levels that are very close to invading people's privacy. The following infographic demonstrates the TSA timeline as well as events of pre and post 9/11 regarding airport and airliner security.

Tron Universe Timeline [Infographic]
For the last bit of Tron info to offer. If you haven't seen the new movie yet, but played some of the games or seen the first one or some combination of the movies or games from the Tron universe, this little Timeline should help with what events took place when. Funny thing I noticed is that all the new tron games from the DS and PSP to the Wii and the 360/PS3/PC multiplatform are supposed to essentially the same game yet they take place at different times in the time line.

More Tron Stuff! [Infographic]
Thought I would make a small addition to today's Tron update with some more Tron stuff. Here's an infographic detailing the vehicles of Tron and how they have evolved since 1982!
Also, I finally fixed the image problem I have been having so you can now click the picture instead of the caption to view it in its original size.

Movie Review: Tron Legacy
I realized I haven't done a movie review since Pandorum and I had just saw Tron Legacy in IMAX 3D, along with the first one from 1982 like an hour before Legacy premiered. So while I'm still on the Tron high, the Jeff Bridges awesomeness and drooling over Oliva Wilde's hawtness, lets review this bad boy!

I'm (almost) Back! + 10 Common Misconceptions Dispelled [Infographic]
Well I have one more final left to tackle tomorrow and I will be home free. My apologies for not updating as often as I would like but now its almost ready for a good month long break, some Assassin's Creed and Blazblue multiplayer, updating my blog, and hopefully rehearsing for my next theatrical project. I will have a lot of time to play catch up tonight and tomorrow afternoon so start expecting regular updates on my blog again.
And now without further ado, 10 Common Misconceptions Dispelled. Lets see how many of these you believe in and how they are not really as you had thought they were to be. I fell victim for the sushi one and the sun fact (number 5 and 6 respectively).

How do you say nuclear? Nu-clear, nu-cu-lar, or the George Bush way you can't even break down?
Anyway,here are some interesting facts about nuclear weapons. Some actually blew my mind away (no pun intended I swear lol). The one that scared me but at the same time made me laugh was US lost and never recovered nuclear warheads.

Glowsticking - An Instant Addiction
So yesterday I helped my friend set up his birthday party. It was a rather small party but we had about 15 people total. Some of my lady friends really wanted to dance while everyone else was kind of shy or self-conscious about it.
So me and a some of my friends decided to get a ton of glow sticks for the party city near by and we ended up putting a rave show for everyone. We found this experience to be something different, fun, an exciting. And we were playing with the glow sticks even after the party was over. We got hooked.

Movie Review: Pandorum
So a while back I saw this movie at a friend's house during one of his monthly movie marathons. I had only heard about it once maybe twice before but had never seen the movie or knew what it was about, but that it was good. I then saw it again during my friend's Halloween Horror Movie Marathon and I even caught some things I didn't see the first time.
Pandorum is a sci-fi psychological horror movie that revolves around astronaut Corporal Bower (Ben Foster) as he wakes up from extended hyper sleep to find that he is alone, with mild memory loss, and a dark deserted ship floating in space with an unstable reactor. After awakening his lieutenant, Payton (Dennis Quaid), who also has memory loss, both of them team up to unravel the mystery of the events that have took place on the ship while in they were asleep.

How to Fix your Laptop Fan Grinding.
You are in the middle of lecture hall in college, its all silent and you are on your laptop surfing facebook, checking your tweets, and maybe doing homework. Then all of a sudden your laptop starts making this horrible, loud grinding noise and everyone turns and looks at you. Embarrassing huh?
Not only does it become annoying, depending on what is causing the grinding, it could damage your laptop.
In order to fix it,and preferably yourself, you are going to have to dissemble it, but it will be way cheaper to do it this way.
Disclaimer: Opening up your laptop may void warranty depending on the model, especially older laptops. Don't attempt unless you know what you are doing and know for sure that opening the laptop won't void warranty or if the warranty has long been expired. I am not responsible if you damage your laptop in anyway while attempting this repair.
Also, be familiar of anti-static procedures to ensure you don't accidentally damage a vital part of the computer.
In this tutorial, I will be opening up my Sony Vaio CS (Model: VGN-CS250J). You may have to do something different and the components won't exactly be the same but the same process will be done more or less.
