Standing cat
‘Nuff said. I’ve had this ditty stuck in my head for about 3 days now, thanks Japan.
Cat vs Black bear
This is pretty crazy, cats are so badass. Few points:
-Felix must still have his [large] cojones. And claws: it looks like he may have caught the bear’s nose a couple of times.
-Funny how the cat went NUTS when the bear grabbed the loot, but then let him have it anyway.
-Do NOT leave your garbage on the porch when you live adjacent to the woods.
-There’s some stuff out by the car; I wonder if she saw the bear while outside and ran in.
-I’m glad the baby found it hilarious, hah, he could have been the main course.
Contra as a first person shooter
This is Contra re-imagined in 3D via Half-Life 2 mod. I need to play this, first I gotta find a download link though. There also exists a GoldenEye mod. And there’s a good-looking “Update Mod” probably worth getting for replaying the original HL2; see its video comparison here (watch in 720). And Black Mesa is a much-anticipated not-yet-released mega-mod which reinvents HL1 using the max of HL2 engine’s capabilities. It looks sick. And when the heck is EP3 coming out? HL HL HL
Death Metal Rooster
Apparently roosters are to death metal as goats are to Usher.
Understanding peak oil
Interesting, informative, eye-opening, and a bit depressing. Even if you think it’s sensationalist, these should really be required viewing for all, as the Peak Oil phenomenon is not a question of if, but when. My takeaway: we all need to use less energy, and have fewer kids.
Food Party – pass the mushrooms please
I think I just found my new favorite show.
Crazy robotic handiwork
This stuff is crazy, especially the cell phone flip catch. I think we might be doomed.
Those are some crazy Mario skills, man
Just kidding, it was made using multiple takes and save states. There is some fancy play going on here though. I dusted off the Gameboy Micro and have been playing through Super Mario World again. Good stuff.
The Truth about Food: BBC series
This is part of a BBC series called The Truth about Food. It’s a bit cheeky, but informative, mildly entertaining, and potentially inspirational for eating healthier.
The End of Suburbia: documentary
I previously posted a TED talk by James Howard Kunstler regarding his views on where suburbia has been and is headed, and I recently discovered this nice little documentary featuring him and covering much of the same topic. It starts out somewhat light-hearted but takes a dark turn when it gets into the peak oil stuff. I saw the full version though, I didn’t watch this abridged version, not sure of the differences. I love the Thomas Hardy quote in the beginning.
Bill Maher – classic anti-pharma rant
This is from 2 years ago, but it remains highly relevant today.
Glorious Japanese aquarium
The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium is the 2nd largest in the world. As I watched this vid it actually occured to me “where are the fat people?” Then I learned in the sidebar that it is in Japan and things became clear.
