Wow, Panoramas.dk is one of the greatest sites I’ve ever come across. It features a number of three dimensional panoramas which allow you to virtually look around a given space. This is a technology that can only flourish on the Web since you cannot move around inside a static photograph.
There are virtual reality panoramas of the Eiffel Tower, Carnival in Rio, a Camel Carts in Bikaner India, a human Zoo, an ariel view of Sydney Australia and even the Apollo Moon Landings.
The site can be a little difficult to navigate so I compiled the following list of several I enjoyed.

Last Christmas I got both a remote control helicopter and plane, and I’ve been practicing a lot. So when my buddy Bruce sent me one of these YouTube video clips I realized just how much more practice I need.
The following are some of the finest remote control pilots I’ve seen. I cannot express to you how much dexterity and concentration this takes, because these guys make it look much too easy.

I was doing some maintenence on the site today and going back through my old articles. Since I was amusing the heck out of myself I decided that I should make a little list of my favorite videos from past posts.
So, here are the ones that amused me the most from last year. Hopefully everyone will enjoy seeing them again as much as I did…

I’m not claiming these are world changing ideas, just that they are practical tips that I’ve used or advised others of recently. I hope you find at least a couple of them interesting, but more importantly I hope you’ll add to the list. We could all use some more practicality in our lives.

Lists are funny things. Often they are interesting enough to catch your attention, but without any real meat in them they aren’t enough to hold it. Take for example, The American Film Institute’s Top 100 Movie list. They actually published it on the Web without so much as a single link to external reference material!
Well, I wanted to check out the movies, and searched everywhere for a modified version of the list, but came up empty. So, I sat down and built one myself. After about 20 hours of adding 300 links, I now present the list in an actually useful format. I hope someone other than me gets some enjoyment from it too. :-)

There is nothing to make you feel more pathetic than a kid that can kick your ass at something. And I’m not talking about the accidental “I win” in a game of soccer in the front yard. I’m talking about a good spanking from a kid who can make a professional adult look like an amateur.
Below are 10 exceptionally gifted kids who will put the hurt on you if you go up against them in each of their specialties. Enjoy.

People have accidents. That’s not what this post is about. People also do stupid, reckless things. But we’re not focusing on that now either.
This is about people that obviously lack the requisite skills to operate a motor vehicle – who were also unfortunate enough to have the evidence caught on film.

This list is hilarious! According to Radar Magazine these are the worst and most dangerous toys of all time, as defined by their ability to kill, maim and generally be hazardous to the well being of the children to which they were given.
Each toy is linked to the complete page on the Radar website that has a more complete description of the mayhem wreaked by the particular weapon toy.

I’m still amazed by how many people don’t know about all of the Video content on the Internet.
Sure everyone knows the Internet is full of porn, but there are also copious quantities of entertaining – but not indecent – videos out there as well.
Here is The Man’s Top 8 list of Video Sharing Web Sites:
(Tip: Always check out the ‘highest rated’ videos first!)
