How Can I Stream It? Works

CanIStream.It is a free service created by Urban Pixels that allows you to search across the most popular streaming, rental, and purchase services to find where a movie is available. If the movie you're looking for is not available, just sign-up, set a reminder and voila we will shoot you an email when your chosen service makes the movie available. It's simple and fast.

It looks for the title you provide in their database of movies or in their database of tv shows. It scans for your title in five different categories: Instant Streaming, Streaming Rental, Digital Purchase, DVD/BluRay, and Xfinity Subscribers.

There's an app for that too. Super awesome, consolidating searches to one place.

One thing I enjoy about the Cellar is following links into new ideas and images.
Today's IOD about Mt Etna and smoke rings somehow lead me to this web site.
I think it deserves it's own posted link...

20 Coolest Buildboards From Around the World

Here is one of them...

During preparations for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany,
Adidas created a variety of ad campaigns, commercial installations,
guerrilla marketing and billboards.
This vast image of Germany’s goalkeeper Oliver Kahn was attached to
a bridge at the entrance to Munich airport.

I was looking for the source of an image that looked like it might have been a Norman Rockwell paining, and I stumbled across this site because it has the words "Norman" and "Rockwell" in it.

I give you, Small Town Noir.
This guy found old mugshots in the trash outside the New Castle, PA police station, and he saved them and then looked up what public information he could find on the folks in those pictures in order to write about their lives.

for example, check out John Franell.

John Franell, a lifelong resident of Altoona, was an honor roll student in elementary school and sang in his local athletics club’s barbershop quartet when he was in high school. After graduation, he worked as a produce clerk and spent a lot of time in bars. He was arrested a few times—fighting, disorderly conduct, a little light larceny—and was conscripted into the combat engineers in 1942.

After the war, John became a small-time thief, stealing crates of produce, frozen chickens and other groceries from warehouses and selling them cheap in bars and cafés. By the middle of the fifties, he had become a well-known figure in Altoona’s court house, and was told by a judge that he would face years in jail if he violated his probation again. He left Altoona for New Castle, but his arrest for drunkenness in 1957 is the only record of his time in the city. He was back in Altoona by the following February, when he was arrested for burglary.

John was homeless at forty-six, sleeping either in the streets, in the Rescue Mission or in the city jail’s drunk tank. Over the next few years, he was arrested for siphoning gas from a truck, stealing a car, burglarly, larceny and receiving stolen goods. He turned sixty while serving a three-year sentence in the workhouse.

John was never arrested for theft again but appeared in court countless times on charges of drunkenness, disorderly conduct and breach of the peace. In August 1974, by which time he was known to everyone as Whiskey John, he was arrested seven times in four days. Every few months he was hospitalised with lacerations on his forehead, contusions on his head, abrasions on his arms, chest and sides and fractured ribs—all injuries that he sustained when he threw himself in front of moving cars. Once, a car crushed his foot and doctors had to amputate his toes.

On April 4th, 1976, John was beaten to death in the hallway of an apartment where he was staying. He was seventy-one years old. There were no leads, and his killer was never found.

Poor man.

This chick is creepy.

Indeed.

Looks hung over with those blood shot eyes.


Interesting but the server is located in Brazil and the domain nationality is Cocos, Keeling Islands near Australia.

Do you recognize this formula: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 ?
It's the Pythagorean theorem

Recently I came across this website with all sorts of articles, and was intrigued
by the one entitled: "Most-Beautiful-Mathematical-Equations"

Here are two from their selection:

"The fundamental theorem of calculus (FTC) allows us to determine
the net change over an interval based on the rate of change over the entire interval."

"The Standard Model describes the collection of fundamental particles
currently thought to make up our universe."

I won't claim to understand all of them, nor even a single one of them.

But as I read their brief (layman's) descriptions, it seemed to me they represent
what education is all about... connecting the physical world with theoretical world.

No shit.

If he's not careful he's going to do an imitation of Isador Duncan.

[Gravdigr]

Isadora, and stop making me learn stuff.

A jaguar swims across a river to attack a 150lb caiman, and then takes it back across. Too many pics to post, so click here to go to the HuffPo article. SFW, and Safe For Lunch.

The gross part was when it made shoes and a belt out of the skin.

Cool pictures. That's not something you see every day.

Bad ass cat.

If you've got a minute or two, Dr. Chris Kraft would like to give you his opinion of today's NASA.

"So what you've got is a beast of a rocket that would give you all of this capability, which you can't build because you don't have the money to build it in the first place, and you can't operate it if you had it."

C'mon Chris, tell us what you really think.
