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?

Friday Five: 9/23/11

Hello and welcome back to the Friday Five! You’d think I’d have a bunch of stuff stock piled, but I only got reconnected to the internet last week and now that I’m working from home, I spend a lot less time dicking around on the internet. I’ll settle into a new groove though. In the mean time, here’s 4 videos to keep you entertained.

Tape Generations

Tape Generations from johan rijpma on Vimeo.

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.

What it’s like to fly over the earth

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!

Animated alphabet

The Alphabet 2 from n9ve on Vimeo.

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.

Creepy distorted face Illusions

These unaltered photos combine in your peripherals to create some truly horrifying shapes and faces. This could be an interesting training tool for caricatures.

Holy Robin Compilation

Holy Editing Excellence Batman!

Abandoned Amusement Park in Kansas

No Joy from Mike Petty on Vimeo.

Love it.

Painting a bowl

Strap a spray can to the bottom of your board and skate the bowl. Nice patterns emerge. Well executed.

Oh for fuck’s sake. when these things take over we are in SO MUCH TROUBLE!

Cassini mission set to music

CASSINI MISSION from Chris Abbas on Vimeo.

I could watch this for forever. space is fun!

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.

Cat that gets busted barking like a dog

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

Dr. Whooves

Doctor Whooves from NQN on Vimeo.

Pool playing robot

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.
