How to Pronounce British Town Names

Adore this video. All of it. I think I've mentioned here before how completely lost I was when I first moved to England. Completely bereft of all manner of clue when it came to pronunciations of places and town names. And it all coalesced into a right car crash one day when I saw that the school was going to have a weekEND (as the Brits pronounce it) in Edinburgh.

Chuck Norris of Unicyclists

This guy is full tilt. Like, WHAT?! A few of these moves I can accidentally do on a good day. But what? Like, take for example, his family jewels? Little known fact, it isn't the most comfortable of forms of transportation to engage in.

Starling Murmuration Epiphanies

I think the first time I learned that a flock of starlings wheeling in the sky was called a murmuration when learning about Upstream Color. There is something about about these flowing and undulating body of flowing birds that just induces awe.

Cutting Edge 3D Printed Spider Dress

3D printing companies are some of the hottest companies on the market right now.  Venture capitalists are going ape for everything 3D printers.  So much so that while there is a ton of money to be made in this space, there is also a ton to be lost as well.

ignition sequences

ignition sequences - ooh.  ooooooh.  ah, yeah!"  I am quoting myself the first time I saw this video from Richie Johnston.  Absolutely adore this thing.  Fire!?  Explosions of fire, backwards, forwards... everywhere.  What's not to love here?

Short Film Find Isolated

We think it's all about the story. We honed it until we thought it was good enough. Then we figured out how to make it, and cgi was the shortest path.

The greatest thing I saw today

This is by far the greatest thing I've seen today. And it helps that this situation didn't get completely out of hand - just totally out of hand. So with that, I'm out to find a Heineken with my name on it. And hopefully if your day is going poorly, at least you can say that your Benz didn't catch on fire and tear through a neighborhood with firemen chasing it down the street. So there's that.

A Truly Funny SNL Skit

A Truly Funny SNL Skit - I have a friend at work who has taken it upon himself to find an SNL sketch that I will laugh at. (Not laugh AT, I do that often enough, laugh with.) I just don't think they are funny.

How Serial’s Last Episode is going to end… heheh.

How Serial's Last Episode is going to end... heheh. Which is really quite funny, because I have a 5,000 word discussion about the final show already written and in the can. So while this is funny. It really is exactly how the final show is definitely going to go. Guarantee it.

Time Travel Goes Awry in Double Trouble Kickstarter

Time Travel Goes Awry in Double Trouble Kickstarter - Andreas Climent and André Hedetoft are Swedish filmmakeers that created the short film “Double Trouble” to investigate the humorous fallout of a young man who suddenly is enabled with the power of time travel. Obviously there is a girl involved. And obviously this flight of fancy was funded by a Kickstarter project.

Amateur Video Effects Awesomeness

Amateur Video Effects Awesomeness - These guys are epic huge!  They take Nerf Guns and turn them into semi-automatic brilliance. They turn toy cars into get away machines of madness and insanity.  This is awesome!  The only problem?  It's only a couple minutes long! But these Dads aren't the first ones to turn common toys into lightsabers and semi-automatic brilliance.  My favorite fan video of all time is by far Ryan vs. Dorkman Remastered.
