Face morphing optical illusion

Stare at the red dot. While it’s moving, the changes in the face are hardly perceptible. When it stops, you can see a whole range of changes taking place.

Well excuse me princess

why was link’s catch phrase “Well, excuuuuse ME, princess!”

Extreme sheep herding

I wanted to write this off as bad CGI, but watching the process throughout the video makes me believe they actually did this. Is this what androids dream of?

The cultural policy of piracy

The Baby Bullet

infomercial gone wrong with this horrifying re-edit. it’s a bit long, but it’s so scary you won’t be able to turn away.

Time Lapse of airplanes taking off

This just makes me want to watch koyaanisqatsi though.

iPad games… FOR CATS!

not sure how this doesn’t end up scratching your screen… but the cats seem to be having fun!

I Heard it From The Polly (New Wave) – Marvin Gaye with Kurt Cobain

This is the worst best mash-up evar. some songs are just made to be mixed together.

Joplin Tornado Aftermath Video

Not to make light of a horrible situation and a tragic event, but I think I would have helped myself to a drink after this one. The Tulsa Red Cross is taking donations, you can call (918) 831-1100, or you can text REDCROSS to 90999 to donate $10 to American Red Cross Disaster Relief.

Video comic about dark matter

Dark Matters from PHD Comics on Vimeo.

In the vein of RSAnimate, here’s a comic drawn around an audio track of two guys discussing what we know and don’t know about dark matter. It sounds like they were recording in a restaurant or something so there’s some annoying background noise, but otherwise it’s a really interesting watch.

Inglorious Ponies

The underground internet fandom of the new My Little Ponies series has led to some interesting mashups. The show on it’s own is also pretty good.

The Last Jump of the General Lee

I loved this show as a kid.

Letter People – Meet Mr. T AKA Tall Teeth

In another flashback from my early schooling Mr. T (not the “pity the fool” one) was my JAM for obvious reasons.

Cat vs Piñata

Get those kibbles!

My Dick

Ok. Enough with the kid stuff. Here’s a song about dicks!

Real life Rock ‘em Sock ‘em

What could go wrong with teaching robots to punch humans? I kept expecting the robot’s head to go “sproing”

Ghost towns and malls in China

A whole empty city to explore! fun!

Symmetry

Symmetry from Everynone on Vimeo.

WOW! A short film about life by Everynone in collaboration with WNYC | Radiolab. Brilliant!

Jim Mahfood’s Marijuana Man

This is a little late for 4/20, but i think it looks really neat. I haven’t been excited about new books in a while, but i will totally give my money to Image for this.

Kittens in cups!

Or bowls… whatever. They’re crazy over there in Japan!

This looks really neat. I’d love a chance to play around with some of this.

Bluegrass Radiohead Cover

The Punch Brothers cover 2+2=5 at the 2010 Pick-a-thon

Sexy Sax Man (Careless Whisper)

This guy is pretty douch-y, but he’s good at what he does. and what he does is play Careless Whisper over and over again to the chagrin of security guards everywhere.

Rube Goldberg Photo booth

Rube Goldberg Photobooth from Crawford & Nelson on Vimeo.

Granted it’s not a continuous take, but i still love machines like this.

How round are your circles?

Where Mathematics and engineering meet. Precision machines.

Listen to this while watching the Circles video

I recently learned the actual definitions of Dubsteb and have been digging some deep bass wobbles. Use this as a soundtrack for the mathy goodness above.

Riots in Richmond VA after the VCU basketball loss to Butler

VCU Riot after 2011 Final Four from MONDIAL on Vimeo.

Brilliantly edited and if this had been a political event instead of a sports loss, this would be a really powerful and inspiring video. instead it’s just creepy and chilling. It’s weird to see my old campus with cops in riot gear marching down broad street.

Boingboing’s Cory Doctorow TED talk

On privacy, kids, facebook and the technology to get around it all.

How a differential gear works

i had no idea. yeah science!

Best of a Normal Day

I love videos like this, but i always shudder at the amount of failed attempts that must be on the cutting room floor.

Star Wars Droids Scene Sweded

See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

Sure, it’s a viral for Simon Pegg’s lame new GCI attrocity Paul, but the calssic scene between R2D2 and C3PO has never been funnier.

Drunk Baby Trashes Bar

Trailer for the short film “Las Palmas” by Johannes Nyholm, due out later this year.

Whiskey the cat gets some Bustin!

Bustins for kitties!

Adrian Edmondson in a bank commercial

Not sure if this was the pre-Young-Ones inspiration for Vyvian, or a post-Young Ones advert capitalizing on the series. Either way it’s pretty funny.

How far is the moon from the earth?

Now you know.

Batman gets pwned

Batman sucks at DC Universe vs. Mortal Kombat

A Painful Glimpse into the writing process

A Painful Glimpse Into My Writing Process [In Less Than 60 Seconds] from chel white on Vimeo.

A psychotic animation from Chel White about his writing process. Seems legit.

Deepest hole in the world?

These kids seem to think so, but i don’t think it will stay so deep if tourists keep coming by to throw rocks in it.

Drunk guy vs ice

Looks like the crazy fuck did this all on his own without anyone else filming. Brrrr!

Civilized cat eating fish

This never gets old. I love this gag. This cat is sooo pimp!
