Fifteen uncoupled simple pendulums of monotonically increasing lengths dance together to produce visual traveling waves, standing waves, beating, and (seemingly) random motion

I just think it looks freaking cool!

Don't flick the switch!

Danny MacAskill is far more talented than his humble nature suggests

I presumed I had already posted Danny's amazing "Way Back Home" video but it looks like I was wrong. Here it is:



And now here's an interview he gave to the good folks of Rocketboom.

Kid joins the Dark Side at Disneyland

Apparently there's a Jedi Academy at Disneyland (who knew?) and as part of it kids are asked to fight Darth Vader. I'm guessing it doesn't normally go like this...

Tim Minchin's Storm the Animated Movie

I posted a video for Tim Minchin's 'Storm' previously but below is the officially commissioned animated accompaniment. It adds another dimension to this wonderful piece of work.

'A Star Wars-themed, four-part a cappella musical tribute set to cinematic themes from composer John Williams.'

A music festival unlike any you've seen before

Director Sam O'Hare uses a tilt shift lens to capture footage from Coachella 2010 and transform it into something amazingly beautiful.



He's previously used the same lens for his award winning The Sandpit, showing "a day in the life of New York City, in miniature."

Wait for it...

You'll believe an animatronic bird can fly

Pretty. Darn. Impressive.

Watch this and start your morning off with a smile

Turns out this amazing song was part of the The Rock & Worship Roadshow 2011, and features Mercy Me a Christian band from Dallas. I'm in danger of losing my Militant Atheist card if I keep posting things like this but I just can't help it when they make such awesome videos!

The fire knife dance is awesome!

Hot Chip make me feel better

While the song itself is great the pure genius of this video, directed by Peter Serafinowicz, is what keeps me coming back for more.

He makes it look so easy!

If Justin Bieber can get famous... why can't this guy?

Actually, it looks like he can, as Graham Stookey now has an EP on iTunes and has appeared on Oprah. Not bad going for an 18 year old in his last year of high school, recording songs in his parents basement.

Become the Zen warrior who knows how to shatter traffic jams as you approach them

There's a great article on Cracked providing us with scientific explanations for road rage, crowd surges, people who walk too slowly and annoying idiots who have loud mobile phone conversations on the train.

Anonymity breeds sociopathy. Otherwise known as Cracked's Greater Theory of 4Chan.

It also explains why traffic jams happen and in the process provides a link to a YouTube video that should be compulsory viewing for all motorists.

One driver can wipe out a traffic jam. One.
