Transportation
Northeast Ohio is not a friendly environment for outdoor storage of equipment. Weep for this rotting collection of mostly military aircraft. The video is well done. Shot with a Nikon D90.
Old school indeed. GS1150ES.
Mods vs. rockers but this time the violence was confined to the tug-o-war. Lots of nice pics of classic cafe racers — Tritons, Guzzis, Norvin (wtf?)
Science (high-speed photography)
Popcorn. I can’t watch this without thinking that the popcorn popping looks like an angel opening it’s wings.
Beginning with the question “How do cats drink?” and ending with a somewhat freaky elephant-trunk based robot arm. A bit of a walk through the lands of science for the fun of it. Side note, the paper about cat lapping may be the first time that a YouTube video has played a role in a published scientific paper.
Art, Images, and Design
Interactive maps can be so very good. The best journeys of fact and fiction mapped out with details and highlights. (And a few lowlights.)
Old globes are pretty darned useless, unless you want to make art out of them. Here are a couple of nice examples and a bonus video of how globes are made.
Animation
Smigly’s life is hard. and noisy.
yeah — it’s kind of Monday out here too.
