How Evolution Really Works
24 in ’94
College Humor did a fantastic job with this sketch. The premise is the show 24 set in 1994. Awesome.
Blackout: Chinese Coal Miner
Think your job sucks? This picture is titled “Blackout” and i found it on spiegel.de. Here is the blurb that goes with the photo:
A coal miner takes a bath after finishing his shift at a mine in the north China province of Shanxi. China’s coal industry is the world’s most dangerous, as measured by the number of miners who are killed per year. In the first 10 months of 2007, there have been 3,069 deaths and on average since 2000, 6,000 miners have died in China every year.
Bad Pic of Michael Jackson
Could it have been any worse? It’s like they planned it.
“Kadhalan (Urvasi Urvasi)”
Awesome Indian dancing song… these guys bust some serious moves… breaking like it’s their job.
Speaking of breaks, this song actually has a pretty break aroud the 2:00 mark.
Super Mario Bros Theme on Tesla Coils
Another musical one for ya. This time it’s the infamous theme song from Super Mario Brothers played by TWO Tesla Coils. Here is an additional blurb of info regarding this clip:
Twin Solid State Musical Tesla coils playing Mario Bros theme song at the 2007 Lightning on the Lawn Teslathon sponsored by DC Cox (Resonance Research Corp) in Baraboo WI.
The music that you hear is coming from the sparks that these two identical high power solid state Tesla coils are generating. There are no speakers involved. The Tesla coils stand 7 feet tall and are each capable of putting out over 12 foot of spark. They are spaced about 18 feet apart. The coils are controlled over a fiber optic link by a single laptop computer. Each coil is assigned to a midi channel which it responds to by playing notes that are programed into the computer software. These coils were constructed by Steve Ward and Jeff Larson. Video was captured by Terry Blake. What is not obvious is how loud the coils are. They are well over 110dB.
And now the vid…
Balancing Point
Balancing Point is a short video created by Danny Brown.
The clip shows some footage that was choreographed in a way that when reversed Danny Brown appears to be rebuilding different balancing structures… all set to a sweet background track.
It’s really cool; he did a great job with this.
And Now… Some Talking Cats
I will be 100% honest. I did not watch this video prior to posting… ALL i needed to see was “Talking Cats” and I knew it would be a hit… with petra <3.
Jack Ass for Friday
Look, if you are gonna go off roading at high speeds… DON’T stand up in the bed of a truck. You WILL go flying, and you WILL look like a jack ass.
