Spiegel online had a beautiful video of shrew mating rituals online today in a short Bitfilm titled, “Our Wonderful Nature.” Trust me, watch this now.

As a kid I always wanted to be able to reach inside of that fucking claw machine in the arcade and take the good toy or stuffed animal right out. I don’t think I ever once came out with anything decent. In fact, I don’t think I ever came out with anything at all. Miserable.
Now […]

You must watch this amazing video of a skyscraper in Japan being demolished one floor at a time from the bottom up, seriously. This technique causes much less damage and cleanup to the surrounding area, enables easier reuse and recycling of the building materials, and I think actually costs less. Check this out.

Oobleck is the nickname that scientists use to describe a mixture of corn starch and water that has some very interesting physics properties. The name comes Dr. Seuss’ “Bartholomew and the Oobleck.”It changes its physical properties depending on pressure, temperature, and vibrations around it. From wikipedia:
Though initially it acts like a viscous liquid, applying pressure […]

Holy shit. Family Guy doesn’t miss a single pop-culture reference. IT is by far the best written show for 30-somethings in history. Genius. You might remember my and CJ’s 2girls1cup reaction videos, well Stewie had pretty much the same reaction as most people, and it is fucking perfect. You must watch this if you know […]

I don’t do movie reviews here. Occasionally a rant about some piece of crap movie, but never a real review. I don’t intend to start today with Wall-e. However, I have a little bit to say about it given the various reviews that have called it “perfect’ or “near perfect.”
Wall-e is most certainly an amazing […]

Ebay and Paypal are complete fuckwits. Useless pieces of shit. No wonder their business is crumbling. I can’t wait for these ancient remnants of a the web long past to be gone forever. They should have collapsed with the rest of the first .com bubble bursting, but somehow survived, unchanged, for all these years. Garbage.
Simple […]

I LOVE the “spattery paintings of little things” of Leontine May Greenberg. Her etsy store seems to be empty right now, but if anything else appears, I’ll be sure to buy a cute little bird on a scarecrow, or something.

I ffffind so much inspiration for design, photography, and illustration on the image bookmarking site, ffffound. I’d love to become a ffffull-fffledged member so I can more actively participate, but it is an invite-only site, and I haven’t been invited. Could somebody please ffffucking invite me!?

Ffffuck. Seriously. Invite me. I’m cool.

OK, so Mike Myers‘ The Love Guru was nearly universally panned by every critic in the business. It bombed this weekend at the box office, bringing in only $13.9 million. The only semi-positive review I could find came from Peter Rainer at the Christian Science Monitor (how ironic). My favorite negative review came from Harry […]

Holy shit. Check out this matte black Nissan GT-R. I am in love. This is my favorite car and now my favorite color. On top of being simply gorgeous, this car also lapped the Nürburgring in 7:29.

I thought I couldn’t be more excited about Disney/Pixar’s upcoming Wall-e. Then I watched this short featurette about the various designs and personalities of the cast of robots. Holy shit. I can’t wait.

Every nerd bone in my body is tingling.
