Abandoned Aerojet Rocket Factory in Florida

Space Miami – Aerojet-Dade Rocket Site Documentary from Coffee and Celluloid on Vimeo.

As an urban exploration nut, this is the fascination to me. I especially love the voice over historical narration to give some depth to the images.

Here’s that damned cat that everyone has seen already barking like a dog until it gets caught by its owner and then… meow!

Robots are supposed to take our jorbs… not our recreation! Step back robots… this time you’ve gone too far!

Atari Glitches

Atari Glitch [Part 3] from Ian Stirewalt on Vimeo.

This is beautiful. I used to do this to my Atari all the time. I always wanted to do a music project with the sounds and images.

Killer Queen sung by clones

I’m not usually a fan of a capella singing but this guy does a great job with the editing and can sing his ass off. I guess it’s not really TRUE a capella because he breaks out the instruments halfway through and that’s when it gives me chills. At least he didn’t pick Bohemian Rhapsody!

Crazy motion capture dance off

Pretty impressive with very little lag. I think the Gorillaz should look into projecting animations like this live on stage.

Bio Station Alpha – Mars

700′ long structure? Natural formation? Computer glitch? All theories welcome!

Instant motion sickness… a skate video

Extremities from Eli Stonberg on Vimeo.

Strap a camera to your head, your board, both arms and both legs and get skating. I particularly like the under the board cam during the kick flips.

Insane free climbing
This gave me instant sweaty hands, but I draw inspiration from the fact that this guy can just turn off his brain and do what he wants without fear.

Sidewalk Illusion

Waterphone

Instant horror soundtrack. My friend Stevo brought one of these over one day and it was super cool!

Physics presentation involving PONIES!

For all you Bronies out there. If you want to get an A+ on your physics presentation then it’s a good idea to involve ponies! ponies ponies ponies!

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.

A strange fan video that works surprisingly well. Also, PINK RANGER WHAT!?

Marty McLoser vs Marty McRich

So the wife and I got into a lengthy discussion the other day about the time paradoxes in the first Back to the Future (not II or III) and we devised a theory to satisfy the time loop paradox at the end. it goes a little something like this: In the original movie, Marty McLoser watches Doc Brown die at the hands of the Libyans at the Twin Pine Mall. He goes back in time, disrupts and reconciles his parents and shoots “Back to the Future!” during the lighting strike at the clock tower. He arrives 10 minutes early to save Doc (who refused to read the note waring him about his untimely demise) and watches as his previous self zips to the past.

BUT!

we are mistaken to think that the Marty that Marty McLoser sees heading back to break up his parents is the original Marty McLoser. It’s not. Things have already changed due to Marty McLoser’s meddling (as evidenced by the Lone Pine mall sign) and the second Marty is the progeny the “successful and rich” Lorraine and George McFly (or Marty McRich as we began calling him). Why would Marty McRich be hanging out with Doc Brown? Our theory goes that: Doc Brown sought out Marty McRich because he knew there was danger of a time paradox. Doc read the note that Marty McLoser gave him and knew McLoser was heading back to the future so Doc had no choice but to sabotage the second delorean and kill Marty McRich (who he never liked much anyway) thus stopping a dangerous time loop paradox from happening.

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.

Social Media and the revolution

The revolution may not be televised, but it will be tweeted. This is a powerful piece about how the internet and social networking are enabling the voices of the masses to be heard.
