Paper DVD

Sony has invented a DVD that not only holds 25 Gigs of data, but can be crumpled up and thrown in the trash.

Read about it here.

Yeah, Blu-Ray is some awesome stuff. When the industry leaders pick which Blu-Ray format to go with, and they start cranking out "mah-cheens" en masse, then it will be some cool stuff.
My question is this: since current movie DVDs are using up just a handfull of gigs per disc, will the new format allow for more content other than the touted 1080i or 720p? By that I mean, more than just an enhanced picture and nifty documentaries.
If they are going to be able to squeeze 25G onto a disc, then by golly, I want my future DVD movie purchases to take advantage of that space!

Favorite Books

  • Ravi Zacharias: Can Man Live Without God?

    Ravi Zacharias: Can Man Live Without God?
    An amazing book that makes the case for God not by citing the Bible or great theologians, but by analyzing the philosophies of famous atheists and showing their flaws.

  • C. S. Lewis: Mere Christianity

    C. S. Lewis: Mere Christianity
    C.S. Lewis was an atheist for much of his life. Appropriately, this book makes the case for the existance of God first and Christianity second with carefully outlined and surprisingly simple reasoning. I consider this required reading for anyone searching for meaning.

  • C. S. Lewis: Space Trilogy

    C. S. Lewis: Space Trilogy
    Religious Sci-Fi Fantasy: A very tiny genre. In "Out of the Silent Planet", "Perelandra", and "That Hiddeous Strength", C.S. Lewis manages to tackle difficult theological questions as we follow Dr. Ransom in his adventures on Mars, Venus, and back on Earth. My favorite science fiction series by far.
