Specialization is for Insects.
Cali Lewis and I had the rare opportunity to travel to Los Angeles for a Samsung sponsored event at the DreamWorks facility. We spent about half of the day getting updates on the state of the very impressive new Samsung television lineup, and we spent the other half getting a personal tour of the DreamWorks [...]
Ok, here is something you don’t see every day! A professional Japanese soccer team took on 100 school kids in an exhibition match. Yes, at the same time! Not like 10 at a time for 10 games or something… Frankly, I’m surprised the ball could even move around on the field with over 110 people [...]
We’ve been looking at a lot of cute videos recently, but this one is NOT cute. It’s manly. In a very Russian sort of way. Everyone’s friend, the Professional Russian, demonstrates the power of several handguns ranging from a 9mm to a 357 Magnum by shooting one gallon jugs of water. Its easy to get [...]
Ok, this one is for the ladies. Every once in a while I find something overwhelmingly cute for you, and today is no exception. Cookie is a “Little Penguin” and the mascot of the Zoo Bird House at the Cincinnati Zoo. Apparently he REALLY likes to be tickled… Enjoy!
I keep telling you people that you need to get some help with your math skills! I got into a whole argument with a professor at MIT this week about the mathematical proof that 13 x 7 = 28 and for some reason he couldn’t get it through his thick skull! So here with said [...]
Holy crap! Norm Flores stopped me earlier and forced me to watch a YouTube video about the World’s Greatest Drummer. I was like… “Yeah, OK Norm. I’ll check it out later.” And he was like, “NO! You’ll check it out now!” So I checked it out. And now I’m telling you, YOU have to check [...]
A couple months ago I took an early morning flight from Dallas to Las Vegas, and everything lined up just right on this landing. I was sitting at the window and I noticed that our shadow was nicely tracking us and converging with the general direction we were going. (As expected obviously…) You will rarely [...]
Sometimes if you are at a craft fair you can find these impossible little puzzles, and people wonder not only how in the heck to solve them, but how in the heck they were made! Well, here is the secret behind how the old “nail stuck impossibly in the wood” trick is pulled off. Its [...]
If there is anything I’ve learned from watching my friends over at the US Army Golden Knights jumping out of planes, its that there is a tremendous amount of precision required to move around in the air at 150 miles per hour. One of the ways they practice this skill is by using an indoor [...]
Mann’s Chinese Theatre and the Hollywood Walk of Fame
Today I had to tell a couple of people about the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Mann’s Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, California. So I figured that I would take a minute and make sure that everyone knows about this place.
Most people have probably seen movies and things that have the Hollywood Walk of...
Photos and Videos from the 2010 Indianapolis 500
Ok, I’m going to get this out of the way before I tell you all about my trip to the Indianapolis 500, “The greatest spectacle in racing.” Wait. Did I just say that? Well, not really… that is what THEY say, and its the same thing they have all the drivers say, it’s...
Rube Goldberg Machine Video – Chaos in the Print Shop
Here is an advertisement that is definitely doing it’s job! I’ve posted several videos of Rube Goldberg machines in the past, so take a look at them if you haven’t seen one. But the concept of a Rube Goldberg machine is that you build something extremely complex to do a simple job.
Well, the...
Los Angeles Fires Raging Uncontrollably
The fires in LA are seriously out of control. If you have any doubt, here is a very impressive time-lapse video that Brandon Riza shot, with his Canon 5D Mark II I might add.
First of all, the fires are very scary, and I feel bad for the folks in California right now. I hope...
