Happy Darwin day! Ze Frank's True Facts about the Katydid


Posted by: zefrank1

If I were better at planning posts for the site, had a different work schedule, or hadn't just spent the better part of the past four hours fighting with my internet connection, I would have prepared something of substance for Darwin day. Instead, here's my admittedly anemic, and just barely on time/on topic offering, in the form of yet another true fact video from ze Frank. This time around, evolution checks in on the Katydid. All in all,  things seem to be going well for the creature... except for where the monkeys are concerned.

Sam Harris- It is Always Now


Posted by YouTube user: ayjaysalas

Generally speaking, I am not much for inspiration quotes and speeches. But, from time to time, I do stumble upon something that I even my, dark, cynical self, can't help but derive a little flicker of positivity from. Rest assured that said positivity is always quickly, and unceremoniously crushed and forgotten by natural state of pure negativity. But, hey- a flicker counts for something, right?

Plastic Demoscene Group: Catzilla



Catzilla is our latest project to date. It's a real time PC benchmark that will get all the juices from your PC.
Finally we had some time to make a proper demo. It was made with a nice collaboration with Platige Image. We did the code, they did the art. The music was made exclusively by Bent 'subsquare' Stamnes.
Thanks for watching!

And Now, Neil deGrasse Tyson Dances To Michael Jackson


There WILL be gifs. Oh, yes- There WILL be gifs.

Seriously though, I'm making gifs.

Neil's Puppet Dreams: To Catch a Puppeteer



Posted by YouTube user: Nerdist

Neil Patrick Harris is clearly a sick man. A sick, SICK, man. Which is probably why I like him so much.

"Ultra"-HD Render Of Curiosity's descent in 30FPS With (Fake) Sound


 

This version of Curiosity's descent and landing was created by film maker Bard Canning, using HD stills from Curiosity's Mars Descent Imager (MARDI), as well as hundreds of motion tracking shots; which basically just means digitally moving and zooming the camera to make up for missing frames, in order to increase the video's frame rate from a blistering 4 FPS to 30. The images in the film were enhanced and color corrected for the sake of quality, and the sound, obviously, was added for effect. Go HERE, For a more detailed explanation of the work that went into making this render of Curiosity's landing on Mars.

Because I Can: Hate Eternal- Lake Ablaze



Been a while since I terrified and repelled you with one of my favorite things. So please enjoy ignoring, reviling, and or dismissing as mindless noise, the above song from Hate Eternal.

That is All.

Pwnisher's Live action Sleeping Dogs Fight Film


Posted By Youtube user: pwnisher

So, the above video was created by YouTuber Clinton Jones (Pwnisher), and was based around the characters and themes of the video game Sleeping Dogs, which is an ultra violent GTA-style game set in Hong Kong, that was just recently released for the Xbox and Ps3. The budget for Clint and friend's Sleeping Dogs Fight Film was actually provided by Square Enix London Studios, who developed the game in conjunction with United Front Games, and the fight choreography was done by EMC Revolution.

Higgs Boson And The Research Surrounding it Explained, in Cartoon Form



Via: phdcomics on:Vimeo

While we're on the subject of quantum physics, and sense this video is all about two of my favorite things; cause I'm the kind of guy that picks complex scientific disciplines and theoretical particles as his favorite things. Let's talk about the Higgs boson. Well, let's have someone who might actually have the required knowledge to talk about particle physics and the research surrounding the search for this theoretical bit of matter, talk about  it- in the form of a cartoon. Cause I believe, no matter how old you are, there isn't anything you can't learn by watching cartoons.

In all seriousness. I've written about the Higgs and particle physics in general, several times before. But the Higgs Boson, and the quantum world in which it exists, is without question, such a complex subject, that it's always worth revisiting.

Eye Candy: Ruin


 So I actually found this animated short from OddBall Animation a while ago, and just haven't managed to get around to posting it. Simply put, it's amazing. Probably even more so if ,unlike mine, your Internet provider has not throttled you down to point where you cannot watch things in HD. But what makes this 8 minute short even more impressive, is the fact that it's mostly the result of the work of just one person. Though the films creator and director Wes Ball, does point out that he had a bit of help on the model rendering for the drone and main character, as well as a single intern to help with some of the animation. CHEATER!

Seriously, it took one person two years worth of work to make this. I can't even manage to post a single blog entry once a day, much less design my own, photo realistically detailed digital world, from scratch.

I am Jack's deep, burning, sense of shame and inadequacy.

Creationism by Lewis Black

As usual, my work schedule has kept me from getting to the blogs all week. But I've got a whole onslaught of evolution vs creationist-themed posts planned for the weekend. For now, here's Lewis Black's take on the "scientific theory" that the Earth is 6000 years old, and all Dinosaurs used to be happy vegetarians that lived peacefully along side man in the garden of Eden.

More to come tomorrow...

Stupidity at 2500 Frames Per Second


 
Posted by Youtube user: Zululicious

Instead of a time-lapse, this week, I give you destruction at 2,500 FPS. I found this oddly mesmerizing. Indoor firework and flour and candle are my favorites. Trust me, flour and candle is WAaaY more awesome than it sounds.
