I’d go see it in theaters.

catch it while it’s hot. it’s kinda like watching galaxies form in reverse. This was shot by a net.friend of mine. Music by Mum.. I think? In any case, fun is to be had.

Mind: Blown
Ears: Owned

I’ve seen them shootin’ up funerals in they Sunday clothes
Spending money on spinners but won’t pay college loans
And all you gangers and bangers rollin’ dice and taking lives, in a smokey dark
Lord have mercy on you
Teacher, teacher please reach those girls in them videos
The little girls just broken Queen, confusing bling for soul
Danger, there’s danger when you take off your clothes, all your dreams go down the drain girl

We live and then we die, and we never know the why
So now, now we go, down underground
We think that we can fly, but we never touch the sky
So down, now we go, down underground

Not only does her music have soul, it’s also exceptionally well written from a lyrical standpoint.

But I can’t for the life of me seem to find any actual writing credits for her music.

What would he see now, looking down? Probably the top of this.

ENVISION: Step into the sensory box. Under this name hides
immersive experience available by Alcatel-Lucent to its customers as
the last Mobile World Congress. An experience-based video
mapping developed by the agency and the Department SUPERBIEN New Media
Agency \ Auditorium. The public was invited into a cube and
discover an artistic vision of the tagline of the event:
Transforming the mobile experience.

Fuck Alcatel-Lucent though, this thing they bought is fucking amazing.

You have to watch all the way to the end, though, to understand the true weirdness that is going on.

Lady Gaga, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, Shirley Bassey, Debbie Harry, and Sting, all together, singing Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin

via eric who probably has the good excuse of being a Journey fan back when they were hot and no one new any better. I don’t have an excuses.

Michael Langan Mugshot

Independent filmmaker and commercial director Michael Langan is serious about his dedication to multimedia. With a degree in film and animation from the Rhode Island School of Design and a professional background in theater, graphic design and music, the bi-coastal artist makes great efforts to incorporate all of these elements (and more) into each of his projects.

Found this director a while back. Glad to see he’s getting some recognition. I suspect we’ll see him going places. His website is Langanfilms. You can view select works there.

this is pretty funny, but look away near the end if you’re emetophobic.

We’ve talked about Tesla before. Yeah, people use his ideas to perform PURE AWESOME.

And here’s two-part Tesla coil harmony, appropriately playing Russian music.

The music isn’t all that, but the subject matter is, at the very least, intriguing. Or maybe it’s the Intriguinol(TM) I took this morning.

If that’s not the craziest shit you’ve seen today (that’s not computer generated) …

via rachetcat and probably just about everyone else by now. Cuz an octopod thief getting taken on a joyride, man and beast in harmony is truly an amazing site.

Filmed entirely with the 5DII. Also, apparently the season finale of House was shot entirely on the 5D. When these cameras go from capturing 8 bit to 10 bit or higher video (they currently do 12 or 14 raw stills but no option exists that I know of to engage ‘raw’ video, at least on my T1i) all bets are off. RED captures in raw so you get that extra depth, though Canon’s digic chips do a pretty good job of cramming their sensor data into 8 bits intelligently (once you figure out where to set the white balance, anyway).

Sounds like laser battles as Manaugh said. The best part though is @ 30 seconds in, where it builds and gets really loud, you can see the water in their ice-fishing-hole rise up and pulsate in time with the noise.

40 Gbps. Optical. Built on today’s computer chip technology. Low power. Pure awesome. We push ever forward towards exascale computing technologies.

and if that ain’t enough technofetish for ya (can’t really show a chip working because there’s nothing to see so you have to have cheezy visuals) how about a robot folding towels. An Open Source robot.

If that wasn’t cool enough, check out this cool arm-around-arm move she does on a ‘challenge’ towel.

Sumo wrestling filmed in tilt-shift stop-motion. A yokozuna is there (dunno if there’s still more than one, there was for a while) – he’s the guy that comes out in the big white belt and dances for a while around 2 minutes in. The even have some comedy sumo. I know tilt shift is trendy and all the rage right know, but I enjoy it and this is a fairly unique subject matter for the format.

This guy is hilarious.

Hot chick and wordnerd.
