YES!!! I’m Going to the Indy 500!

May 13, 2010

Well, the good folks over at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway invited me once again to attend the Indy 500 (I couldn’t make it last year), and were kind enough to give me full press credentials so that I can take all the photos I want and bring you guys the inside story behind the world’s [...]

This is a very cool little video animation that someone created. I can’t imagine how long it took to draw every page of this flipbook, but if you ask me without YouTube it wouldn’t have been worth it! Actually I can imagine what it took because the author said… It’s something like 2100 pages long, [...]

My brother-in-law Jason sent me this one. It’s an instant classic and the lyrics are brilliant! “…I got the swagger of a cripple!” So if any of you woke up today, looked in the mirror and just had to say, “I’m awesome!” Well, this video from Spose is for YOU!

Amazing Motorcycle Recoveries! (Almost, But Not Quite An Accident!)

April 21, 2010

Ok, the guys in these videos were either amazingly talented riders, or amazingly lucky! Either way, it’s very cool to watch!

Photos and Video of the Volcano Eruption in Eyjafjallajökull, Iceland

My friend Hrafn lives in Iceland, so I perk up any time I hear news coming from there. Well, this was a doozy! Eyjafjallajökull, translated “island mountain glacier”, is one of the smaller glaciers of Iceland. The icecap of the glacier covers a volcano (1,666 m in height) which has erupted relatively frequently since the [...]

This is an amazing video of a piece of collaborative art being created by four artists painting on one digital canvas simultaneously. The painting process was unplanned and free form. The artists took cues from each others actions and interpretation of various shapes/colors. Communication was made possible by text chat. The total elapsed time was [...]

Why don’t American’s come up with unbelievably cool crap like this? I mean you know all those record snow storms we were whining about? They wouldn’t matter if your car had its own set of tank tread snowshoes! Essentially you just drive your Volkswagen bug, or Ford F150 up onto these tank treads and then [...]

Did the Google Maps Car Hit a Deer?

March 4, 2010

Ok. Don’t say that I never bring you anything completely useless, but absolutely fascinating nonetheless. Someone sent me this image that was supposedly captured by a Google Maps vehicle when they were driving around taking the Street View images. As you can see, it’s of a deer that appears to have been hit. Watch this [...]
