First of all that’s weird. Second of all it’s even weirder that we can recreate the look of a dinosaur that has been extinct for 160 million years. Keep in mind I don’t remember what I…
I know this is one that Jake Buckler, the blog’s resident Norse warrior, will be all over. Apparently archaeologists in Scotland have found a 3,000-year-old bronze sword in remarkably good condition. It seems they were building a…
I saw this short film a couple of weeks ago and can’t get it out of my head. Called The Narrow World,, you’re meant to think at first that it’s a riff off every alien-landing movie…

Finally, after years of warnings from sci-fi writers and conspiracy theorists, the robot revolution is finally here. Well… not really. The story of the “rogue robot” at the Chinese tech trade show sounds a lot…

No matter who you’re favoring in the coming election, I think that all Americans can agree on one thing: we’re ready for it to be over. Here at The Solid Signal Blog we try to stay…
