Fire, Fire, Fire!
Dec. 31st, 2015 03:59 pmTim Griffin's latest video. Much fun! He's Toastmaster for the 2016 OVFF btw... And I'm Interfilk guest. This is going to be FUN.
Andddd... two years after Felix Baumgartner jumps from 128,000 feet for Red Bull, Alan Eustace breaks the record from 135,890 for Google. Well, after all he IS a senior vice president of same. :) Instead of hooking a capsule to a balloon, he wore a spacesuit (a really GOOD spacesuit) up on a frame hooked to the balloon. Whew, whattaview! Wheeeeee.....

Hitchhiker ~ Kuriositas
Oct. 15th, 2014 11:14 pmYeppers, been reading Kuriositas again. The latest aggregation my subscription dropped on my mailbox contains the following, and rather a lot of other Cool Things too. (Go look up Salar de Uyuni for example.)

What do fireworks look like at eye level?
A GoPro Hero 3 drone was flown through a firework show in May and came away with some spectacular footage while the device remained undamaged.

The Farce is with Us

Smart raven...
Mar. 30th, 2014 12:48 amDepending on who I hear the tale from, this is a young raven or crow - the person who took the video says raven, which is fine with me. In any case, it perched on their fence for about an hour squawking, until someone came out to investigate, to find that the poor thing had had a run-in with a porcupine and needed some help. The rest you can see in the video. Smart critters, corbies.
Fun With Chemistry
Mar. 6th, 2014 08:13 pmThis one's actually on Facebook as opposed to a You Tube embed, so I'm going to settle for a link instead of trying to embed it. It shouldn't require a log-in; I checked it out when I wasn't. Someone collected a batch of snippets about various entertaining chemical reactions, and turned them into a video. My favorite is the magnetic putty and the metal cube (Beware of the Blob!), but they're all a lot of fun. My thanks to Veerenda Chandrappa for posting this!
London in 1927
Jan. 27th, 2014 10:34 pmOne of the earliest color videos, filmed with the "Biocolor" process, recently uploaded to You Tube (with, I gather some processing to lessen flicker, but the color and such are as they were in the film.) My thanks to Jen Hayden for pointing this one out in Viral Video: Rare color video of London circa 1927. See there for more information.
Fascinating. I wonder if the photographer was around long enough to find out that while "some American" did NOT buy the Tower of London, one did buy one of the London bridges (no, not the Tower Bridge) and ship it over to the US in the 1960s. Mostly because it was slated for replacement due to not being up to modern traffic.
Enough drivel - enjoy!!

Ever have a run like this?
Sep. 2nd, 2013 08:50 pmSomething for the gamers amongst us (of which I am one, of course)... :)
