A juggling technophile shares personal stories, challenges, humor and perhaps some political commentary.
A while back I wrote about a civil engineer/architect that showed removing traffic signals and signs actually reduced traffic accidents. Now I can’t find the article which means it very well could have been in my drafts lost in Blogger’s callous deletion of my account.
Notice that there are no red light cameras in this video. For that matter, there are no traffic lights, stop signs or person directing traffic. There are also no accidents.
Here in America, we have traffic lights.
Worksafe video on Fashion versus Style. Today’s link to make you say, "huh?" Thanks Tim!
And just incase anyone has been living in a cave for the past week, here’s the incredible video of the Simpsons introduction using live actors instead of animation. And incase your cave is REALLY deep, here’s the Internet Movie Database’s info on The Simpsons.
And all this time I thought I was supposed to bait the hook! (2 min 49 sec video) Thank you Amanda.
I was NOT the guy that wrote into Amanda from E TN!
Both James of Puerilis and Busymom have posted separate links to two different archives of a practical joke by the Man Show. The video requires sound to be funny and has some potentially offensive words in it.
Bah! Women drivers and their vans. Warning! Steve’s blog has some pictures that aren’t safe for work. This one however is relatively safe and absolutely hilarious!
I’ve been encouraging people to check out Rocketboom and Wednesday I posted The Right Way To Do A Video Blog. In the process I discovered Amanda Congdon has her own wikipedia entry. I also discovered this amusing post by Alec Muffett who analyzed his server logfiles to people visiting him looking for Amanda Congdon information with 29% of them trying to find her naked.
So that’s 192 people searching for information about Ms Congdon, 29% of whom are searching along with the word “naked”.
Alec offers these words:
Mmm. Grow up, you pitiful nerds.
Learn to appreciate people for what they are and what they do.
And if you are new to Rocketboom, I highly recommend the Sept 27, 2005 show.
I really wish I had enough time on my hands to think about what this is much less time to build one. Thanks to Amanda at Rocketboom for the link!
This 4 minute film by Patryk Rebisz is shot entire with still pictures using the Canon 20D in burst mode which produces about 5 frames per second. The details were published in the magazine FilmMaker under an article called Still Life. Very creative! As such, it has won awards.
