The life of a Spiritual Warrior

A spiritual warrior leads a simple life: Eats when hungry, Drinks when thirsty, Sleeps when tired, Enjoys his/her pleasures, And labours as required. A warrior doesn’t regret the past, Or worry about the future. A warrior lives in the present, And enjoys the moment. A warrior trusts in his/her fate, Knows his/her true Self, And is virtuous to all he/she meets.

Happy 100th Birthday, Jack Kirby, you amazing man, you...

“Since I’ve matured, since the war itself–I’ve always been a feisty guy, but since the war itself, there are people that I didn’t like, but I saw them suffer and it changed me. I promised myself that I would never tell a lie, never hurt another human being, and I would try to make the world as positive as I could.” ~ Jack Kirby

Thank you, Jack, for everything.

And him:

LUV’S BLASTER

For Luv, Harlocker’s team struck a balance: “It had to look feminine and graceful, but also lethal and futuristic.” The effect came down to materials and color. The team settled on a ceramic outer shell with a bluish tint, for a clean sophisticated look, then 3-D printed it to get the right fit in actress Sylvia Hoeks’ hand. “Guns are part of our history. So we kept the premise that they’d have a similar ergonomic form, but more advanced firing systems and composite materials.”

DECKARD’S BLASTER

For 2049, Harlocker and his team fashioned an exact replica of the iconic original. They tracked down the blaster’s owner, a collector who’d snagged it at auction. He flew the sidearm to LA, where they meticulously photographed and measured every inch. They reverse-engineered three identical copies, using parts from the same revolver and rifle vintages as the original, then distressed them to look timeworn. “We went to incredible lengths to make sure what we put in Harrison Ford’s hand was something he recognized.”

and now, perhaps the most vital work I will ever do: using colordistance to objectively prove which David Bowie outfit most closely matches a given sea slug. congratulations to ceratosoma trilobatum, the coral family of colors, and also to me, for peaking early pic.twitter.com/ZaMypDB8dx
