Wanna Know How I Made This Dress

An insane piece of improvised audio written & performed by Katie Crown. Designs by Julia Vickerman.

10 Misconceptions Rundown

I hope this clears everything up.

Shit Blowing up in Microwaves

Yeah, this is a commercial but shite blowing up in microwaves looks awesome.

Apple Scotland

Siri has problems understanding the local dialect. I don’t think there’s a better accent for scathing strings of profanity than Scottish.

Run For Your Lives 5K Zombie Run

Run For Your Lives 2011 from Alexander Turoff on Vimeo.

This seems like great fun. Could be improved with paintball guns and more aggressive zombies. Or maybe some hallucinogenics.

Anti-Ninja Turtle propaganda

Some Canadian anti-fun group shows us all the dangers of today’s toys. Today being the 80s and the toys being TMNT action figures.

In the heart of Trantor – 3D fractal trip

A fractal trip into infinity. I’m not quite smart enough to know exactly what I’m looking at here, but for what I can gather, computing power has gotten good enough to allow you to fly through an infinite fractal. Pretty cool!

Glitches in the Sims

Here’s a collection of glitches in the Matrix… I mean the Sims. I have a lot to say about how the We play the Sims and the Sims can even play the Sims, but who is playing our Sims?

Boob Puppet Theater (sNSFW for side boob)

Someone found a loop-hole to be able to put boobs onto Youtube. Even though it’s a cheap gag, they did a good job with the facial expressions and puppeteering (such as it is).

Paranormal Sounds from the Earth

These certainly sound creepy and it would be neat if they were real, but my money is on viral video campaign for some new disaster movie.

Senseless Graffiti Robot

SENSELESS DRAWING BOT from yang02 on Vimeo.

I love machines that make art. We had to build some in college and one guy stuck paint in a disassembled tame measure and blew paint all over the class room.

Siri Argument

This has been making the rounds but it’s a pretty good win for College Humor.

Proteigon

PROTEIGON from BURAYAN on Vimeo.

A sweet animation about a paper cube. Well executed!

Mars Dentistry Holiday Commercial

Sure, this is a holiday message, but it’s lateness here at todorrobot sort of fits the bill. Brilliantly “bad” commercial.

araabMUZIK dubstep live

As a drummer, I’m not a big fan of the drum solo. This guy, however, is the sickest drum machine player I’ve ever seen. Shit gets real around the 1:15 mark. :O

The least efficient census taking robot

Happy Computer from Yo Gabba Gabba. This mobile counting robot loves to take inventory of neighborhood populations… too bad he has to count through the whole quantity every time he adds another person. four thousand two hundred and eighty six! four thousand two hundred and eighty seven!

Louis CK Outtake

Funny bit about evolution, ide ages and animal rape. you know… standard Louis CK stuff.

Trampoline in a wind storm

This may be the perfect internet video. 1) It’s short. 2) There’s a person yelling trampoline in a Scottish accent. 3) A trampoline gets blown down the street by the wind.

Pokemon if it was on Adult Swim

This is pretty funny, but goes on for a little too long. sNSFW for language.

Timescapes 4K

TimeScapes 4K from Tom Lowe on Vimeo.

Some dramatic and beautiful time lapse shots of the night sky in the deep dark desert, plus some random concert footage.

Work in Progress Wednesday: Holiday ecard

Ecard storyboard

Here’s a quick storyboard I made for an ecard I’m working on – a little holiday rube goldberg-esque machine. It’s been about a year since I’ve done anything in Flash so I expect some initial panicking while I try to remember what the hell I’m doing. But first it’s time to design the characters and elements.

Happy 11/11/11/11/11/11 day! Here are some videos for you to enjoy!

The GAG Quartet – le Internet Medley

This band does covers of internet memes because that’s what the internet is for. Well done medley.

First trailer for GTAV

I have no idea what system this is coming out for but I am excited to see more. I loved GTA:SA but I completely skipped playing GTA IV (not only because I didn’t have the correct system, but also because I heard it wasn’t very fun). I like the look of V from this tiny glimpse, but the realism is starting to bother me in my morals a bit perhaps because I’ve become a parent since I last played GTA. The last time I played San Andreas I stole a bike and kept showing off my tricks to the people on the streets. If they didn’t like my tricks, I’d punch ‘em. Then I jumped some cars off some ramps, but the bullet-fueled rampages just weren’t as much fun any more. #getting older :(

Abobo’s Big Adventure

Speaking of games I’m looking forward to, my good pal Roger and his friends put together this loving homage to classic video games staring your favorite Double Dragon baddie and mine, ABOBO (though for the record I’m a bigger fan of Abobo’s green counterpart). This game looks like amazing fun and I will be writing a full review once I’m able to play. Be warned, I suck at video games, so by full review, I probably mean a full review of the first three levels before I get frustrated and give up.

Welcome to Kitty City by Cyriak

Jonah calls the sliding glass doors behind which two extremely fat kitties sit at the other end of our apartment complex “Kitty City” when he rides his tricycle past it. I can only hope that THIS is what it looks like in his imagination.

ASIMO gets a speed boost

Robots are getting faster and are one step closer to being able to do the hokey pokey (and serve drinks afterwards). The future is here!

Carol Burnett and friends Bloopers and Bust ups

I grew up watching this show.

Flash Gordon Cartoon Intro

We’ve been watching the ’67 Spider-man cartoons on Netflix recently and it reminded me of watching the Flash Gordon cartoon with my dad as a kid. I think it came on super early and the weird creatures scared me (I can’t have been more than 5 or 6 when it originally aired), but I still remember being really into it.
