Last Flight of Atlantis

As some of you might know, the space shuttle Atlantis returned from its final flight this week heralding the end of NASAs manned spaceflight for the near coming years. So take some time to ponder on what lies in spaceflight's future, and enjoy this epic footage of STS-132's launch.

Star Wars Cantina a la Star Wars

Its hard to say if this is actually a good advertisement, but I'm clearly a sucker for Star Wars (and Daft Punk) so here it is. Damn, and now I've got that song stuck in my head...

Craig Ferguson Figures Out Life

Isn't it funny how comedians frequently make somewhat profound observations in their quest for laughter? They also make a lot of dirty jokes, but thats besides the point. Seriously, this is poignant shit!

Ninja Helicopters

Okay, so the real title to this clip is, "Aggressive Maneuvers for Autonomous Quadrotor Flight", but I think we can all agree they're really just little ninja helicopter bots. And yes, Skynet just gained a terrifying new ally.

Stand Inside A Collapsing Building

Have you ever wanted to stand in the middle of a building as it was demolished but found yourself discouraged by the whole mortal danger thing? Well Immersive Media has solved that issue by providing his awesome footage from the inside of a Texas stadium being demolished. What makes it really cool though is that you can look around 360 degrees throughout the entire video! You can even stare upwards at the massive girder that ends the poor camera.

Icarus And The Tree Herder

This is a bizarre little short short film thats fun to watch. I don't know if there is a deeper meaning behind it, but I love the visuals.

Scott Pilgram vs The World

There's something truly awesome in how this film takes an issue we all know and puts it out there in a ridiculously literal way. Oh, and its got pretty flashing lights and lightsaber-ish things. That might have won me over too...

Ultimate In Internet Relaxing

If you need a little tranquility in your life but can't get away from your computer do it, instead let this amazing smooth audio combination sooth your soul. Just play these two sites at the same time and I can guarantee you'll feel better in moments.*

    

Falling rain and smooth jazz, brilliant.

*Do not use while operating heavy machinery or fighting zombies. You have been warned.

May I Never Be Reincarnated As An Angler

I can only hope that I don't fuck up my karmic balance enough in this life to be returned as an angler. I'm pretty sure cockroaches and lichen can look down upon these guys (and sea cucumbers, lets not forget them).

The Waldo Ultimatum

I always wondered what Waldo's back story was. Now I know that he wonders too...

Azureus Rising - Proof of Concept

You might know that I love me some mindless action films from time to time, but this little video is almost too over the top for me. There's pretty much nothing other than the gorgeous technical display going on here, but man do they have that in spades. Why do flips help you dodge poorly calibrated guns and why is there an empty city full of huge robots? Who cares, its preeeetty.

Paint the World Bright Colors

I can't tell if this is actually a *good* idea but it certainly makes for awesome stop motion and does brighten up the streets. That pure purple courtyard was a bit overwhelming though, hehe.

Music and Video Mashups

I try to not force my musical tastes onto all of you since I know they're not universal, but every once and a while I find something so epic that I just think it needs to be experienced. In this case I've got a collection of mashed up songs and music videos that I think are damn catchy. They include combos such as:
Prodigy / White Stripes
Gorillaz / Daft Punk
Kanye West / Beethoven (yes, the internet truly has everything)
Lady Gaga / Eurythmics

Here's an example from my awesome playlist!

Aviary Browser Tools

This release took me entirely by surprise, and I like to think I'm at least a little on top of developing technology. Aviary has released a set of 6 free fully featured tools that run entirely in your browser. In case you missed the salient point, these things run entirely inside your mother f***ing browser! They've got a lovely tool that simply for taking screen shots (Falcon) and marking them up, all the way to a Photoshop clone and a remixing board. Thats right, I composed and distributed a song entirely from within Chrome. Considering it took me about 15 min from my very first time booting the program to finished product, thats impressive.


Its available for Chrome and Firefox, which should cover everyone... right?

Post any cool stuff you make in the comments!

Wow, the Sky Hates Oklahoma

Not only does poor Oklahoma have to deal with being stuck in the middle of tornado alley, but apparently their weather patterns gleefully attempt to bludgeon them to death in between said twisters of doom. The huge hail storm going on here at the beginning is already intense, but trust me when I say you ain't seen nothing yet. B-b-b-baby, you just ain't see nothing yet... until around 1:45

Iron Baby

Because there just haven't been enough Iron Man related posts on the site, here's one more. The production value on this little clip is quite impressive, it could pass for movie quality stuff I think. Also note her awesome golden safety pin.

I'm Thinking of a Person...

This little genie guy is preposterously good at playing 20 questions for guessing characters. He's gotten almost everything I've thrown at him from the more well known Conan the Barbarian and Winston Churchill to the obscure such as Darth Revan and Shaco. See if you can out wit this learning program!

My Favorite Position

Oh sexual puns, how ridiculously awesome thou art'... Its a little NSFW though

Crater Face

This little short film is bizarre and yet somehow very compelling. Its hard to describe it without making it sound stupid, so just sit back and enjoy the ride.
