Cool enough that he can play the song on the keyboard, but singing and playing at the same time is a new skill.

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 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

Three Cubes Colliding

Three Cubes Colliding from Jimandtonic on Vimeo.

This is a really cool 3-D printed art project. Some neat shifting focus shots in the beginning but the real money is at the 2:00 mark where they actually get the thing floating.

One bag’s journey through Delta

Follow a bag with 6 cameras through the mysterious black flaps at Delta Airlines.

Don Cherry’s Piano Desk

Nice execution of a simple concept. I only with there was a sustained note from the piano when the OTHER announcer pounds his fist on the desk. A duet!

Time-lapse Christmas Crowd

X-Mas Zoo from Ben Lean on Vimeo.

By Ben Lean filmed in Distillery District and Eaton Centre, Toronto Ontario. I love time-lapse stuff and this guy seems to have a bunch of it. Check out South Meadows from related videos too.

Collin’s Lab: Atari Punk Console

OK. This thing sounds awesome. I wish I had the circuit-tech bendy skills to make something like this.

Icy Brinicle reaches down to freeze fleeing starfish

Nature is soooo cool. It’s like the icy hand of god reaching down to smite Spongebob and Patrick.

Anderson Cooper has never seen Redi-Whip before

Is this because he was a rich kid growing up or because he’s spent too much time in Rwanda? Either way he gets very excited about it.

Kitten Wrestling

No one ever went to prison for THIS, Michael Vick!

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!

My contributor copy of Aftershock, a relief effort spearheaded by the amazing Adam Pasion, came in the mail today. It looks great and I was so happy to be able to put something together for it. I only recognized a couple of the other contributors in the book: Ben Snakepit and Jeffrey Brown, which means I’m totally out of touch with the indie comics scene at the moment… a situation I plan to remedy soon.

I made a pledge last year to try to contribute to as many anthologies as I could to get myself back into drawing comics so if anyone out there knows of people putting together a group project please pass along the information.

Tape Generations

Lots of rolls of tape in this one. Nice in-camera trick and execution of concept.

Pink Floyd’s the Wall by Mariachi

Off-genre covers has become a running theme it seems.

Put this on full screen and pretend you’re silver surfer.

Mad tea serving skills

Full respect for someone who is awesome at his job!

Metropolis II by Chris Burden

1,200 matchbox cars in this kinetic sculpture

It’s MuthaFuckin Luchables!

In the vein of the “banned” porn-style Skittles commercial, this fake knock-off hardcore rap lunchables commercial kinda nails the genre. (NSFW for language and cultural insensitivity). The song is pretty good though. reminds me of the GTA: San Andreas soundtrack.
