Time-lapse traffic in Vietnam

Traffic in Frenetic HCMC, Vietnam from Rob Whitworth on Vimeo.

Compare this to the time-lapse traffic footage from New York in Koyaanisqatsi and look at how organic and chaotic this is. Beautiful.

Black Friday Prank

Two guys make blind lists for each other and take them to Target to ask the employees for help finding the made up items. Turtle Mix? Mormon Disco Ball?

10 quick science tricks for parties!

You know… if you go to nerd parties…. like I do!

Scratch-built Lego farm equipment

This kid scratch built all the equipment on his farm out of Lego. Not only are they to scale, but this kid now knows how all the machines on his farm work. There’s a lot of talky talking in this video, but skip around to see the models.

NES Controller for etch-a-sketch

Handy for making those pesky diagonals.

Record 2-ball Labyrinth Run

Screwball Scramble Speed Run

Picked this up at a yard sale for a dollar. I always wanted one as a kid and it was on my Christmas list every year for way too long. Mom was probably right not to buy it as it’s incredibly frustrating. Jonah likes it though. He calls it “the green thing that works” and likes to trigger the bell at the end. The guy in this video rules it. Thanks internet for proving your superiority once again!

Sugru

Putty that bonds to any substance!

31 Jokes for NERDS!!!

Some good ones in here.

Slinky Drop

Excellent example of Newtonian physics at work here. Still neat to watch in the slo-mo.

This guy owns at the robot

Awesome dance routine to a dubstep remix of Pumped Up Kicks. This guy looks like liquid and the song is sweet too.

Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling

Sad to see so many people getting hauled off in stretchers after throwing themselves down a hill for a wheel of cheese. Looks like fin though.

An interview with Bina48

What a weird uncanny valley this thing lives in. Why can’t we send stuff like this into outerspace?

2-D photography Rube Goldberg Machine

Amazing Police Motorcycle skills

Credit where credit is due!

The Barfing Cup!

With hilarious sound effects.

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.

1970s NASA video about colonizing space

This is so real deal it’s awesome. That opening soundtrack and graphic is what irony-laden bands are striving for these days.

Kittens on DJ equipment

I want to believe this is real. Looks like this would be a lot harder to fake than actually letting some kittens go hog-wild on your equipment. They’re pretty good though.

Dubstep Mime – Dr P Big Boss

Weird lipsync with stock digital effect and the craziest teeth ever seen in a music video. This guy looks like he should be on Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends.

Speed pipe-smoking competition

Put this in your pipe and smoke it.

Creepy Scene from David Lynch’s Lost Highway

I’ve never seen this movie, nor have I seen much of David Lynch’s filmography, but this scene was indeed instantly chilling especially for what is essentially just a three minute conversation. Now I must track down and watch this movie before I hear anything else about it since the time-limit to not expect spoilers has long since expired.

SMACKA SPIDEY (sNSFW?)

Dick smackin’ to the spider-man theme.

50 State stereotypes in 2 minutes

Fun and offensive and so so true!

Robot juggler

Robots make another job obsolete.

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!

#musicmonday: Weird Al – Perform This Way

Filed under: music video,nerds — Tags: , , — Tod @ 9:23 am

Weird Al – Perform This Way

By now I’m sure you’ve all heard about the back and forth between Al and Lady Gaga (or rather Gaga’s record agents), but to me, since i don’t really listen to Lady Gaga, this parody is sort of lost on me. I don’t think it’s one of his best, but at least some proceeds are going to charity.

Lyrics:
My mama told me when I was hatched
Act like a superstar
Save your allowance, buy a bubble dress
And someday you will go far
Now on red carpets, well, I’m hard to miss
The press follows everywhere I go
I’ll poke your eye out with a dress like this
Back off and enjoy the show!

I’m sure my critics will say it’s a grotesque display
Well, they can bite me, baby — I perform this way
I might be wearin’ Swiss cheese or maybe covered with bees
It doesn’t mean I’m crazy — I perform this way

Ooo, my little monsters pay… lots ’cause I perform this way
Baby, I perform this way
Ooo, don’t worry, I’m okay… hey, I just perform this way
I’m not crazy, I perform this way

I’ll be a troll or evil queen
I’ll be a human jelly bean
‘Cause every day is Halloween
For me…

I’m so completely original
My new look is all the rage
I’ll wrap my small intestines ’round my neck
And set fire to myself on stage
Weird Al Yankovic Perform This Way lyrics found on http://www.directlyrics.com/weird-al-yankovic-perform-this-way-lyrics.html

I’ll wear a porcupine on my head
On a W-H-I-M
And for no reason now I’ll sing in French
Excusez-moi, Qui a pété? (Who cut the cheese?)

Got my straight jacket today, it’s made of gold lamé
No, not because I’m crazy – I perform this way
I strap prime rib to my feet, cover myself with raw meat
I’ll bet you’ve never seen a skirt steak worn this way

Don’t be offended when you see
My latest pop monstrosity
I’m strange, weird, shocking, odd, bizarre
I’m Frankenstein, I’m Avatar
There’s nothing too embarrassing
I’ll honestly do anything
But wear white after Labor Day
‘Cause baby, I perform this way

Hope you won’t think it’s cliché if I go nude today
Don’t call the cops now, baby, I perform this way
No reason I should regret all the attention I get
I’m not completely crazy, I perform this way, yeah

I perform this way-hey, I perform this way-hey
I’m always deviating from the norm this way-hey
I perform this way-hey, I perform this way-hey
I’m really not insane — I just perform this way-hey

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.
