YouTube recently announced on their blog the ability to stream HD video, so I decided to find out what the recommended requirements were straight off the Help Center. This past summer I picked up the Canon Vixia HF100 and was waiting for them upgrade to get some of my clips online in a resolution closer [...]
This was part of National Geographic’s 2008 International Photography Contest, and was the English edition’s honorable mention. I had to look twice before believing someone was actually able to take this photo. There are many great submissions and winners, but this is one of my favorites.
This is a shot of three eagles fighting over a [...]
What’s more amazing than Spiderman?….
A Spiderman with his own personal mech and an enthusiastic asian man with soaring ballads to accompany him in action. I especially like the magical cosmic effects that surround this Spiderman when he strikes a finale pose.
If you are out and about tonight and look up at the sky, there is a larger than normal moon. In a rare coincidence, the moon’s perigee has overlapped with the full moon, making it 14% larger and 30% brighter.
Some strange lunar facts:
The moon is moving away as you read this, by about 1.6 [...]
Probably not too smart of a move, but I’ve been cooking virtual food on the DS before bed for the past few days. The sound effects and graphics are good, so that makes a human tummy growl. Cooking Mama claps her hands and gets starry eyed when you do an exceptional job.
If it weren’t for [...]
Old frescos and architecture are interesting. We pass them in towns and cities, walking by banks and court buildings occupying blocks of development. Because they are ingrained into our routine of everyday visual cues, the iconic idea becomes a familiarity while their intentions and origins remain detached.
In the eye of the rotunda of [...]
First there were dancing robots, then house-sitting robots and now a new breed of acting robots is making its big debut on the Japanese stage.
The play, which had its premiere at Osaka University, is one of Japan’s first robot-human theatre productions.
The machines were specially programmed to speak lines with human actors and move around the [...]
MarioKart is probably one of the most well known and entertaining racing games in history. If you’ve had the experience of decimating people with banana peels and green shells on television screens, you’re going to like this. Watch the video below of Remi Gaillard, a full-grown man in a Mario costume [...]
As we work to genetically sequence another creature from the extinct past, the reality looms about a Woolly Mammoth’s potential to be in future zoos. This begs to question some ethical issues and what other species we would be tolerant of resurrecting in the same fashion.
With this technology implemented, the biological landscape of the [...]
During the year of 1994, Rwanda was a country torn by conflict between the Tutsis and Hutus. The violence affected many and sparked an eventual genocide of over 1 million people. This story focuses on one real-life individual doing his best to manage in the eye of an ever-closing storm: hotelier Paul Rusesabagina at [...]
On Thursday night a huge meteor lit up the night air over Edmonton, Canada. Fortunately, a car with a mounted video camera happened to be driving right towards the impromptu phenomenon and got some great footage of the event. What are the odds of that?
SASKATOON, Saskatchewan (AP) — Scientists say they hope to [...]
A few years back I remember seeing an intense painting of Hendrix hanging in a friend’s apartment. I found out later it was painted live to a music track by the guitarist at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. I’m really amazed by the energy that Denny Dent puts has brush strokes as [...]
It’s more than twice as old as the Pyramids, or even the written word. When it was built, saber-toothed tigers and woolly mammoths still roamed, and the Ice Age had just ended.
The elaborate temple at Gobelki Tepe in southeastern Turkey, near the Syrian border, is staggeringly ancient: 11,500 years old, from a time just before [...]
Who can get enough of cat headed bipeds performing in a dance of death?
I am pleased in how disproportionally large, yet functional the cat heads are on the bodies they operate. One can only hold in baited breath for the further adventures of this lone warrior against the armies of the corrupt feline.
On an [...]
We got a little concerned this weekend when the check engine light was flashing on the car’s dashboard. With the recent drop in temperature, I had an idea of what was probably causing it.
Cold weather air contracts and brings the PSI down. Most standard-size car tires maximum PSI is around 44. You can find your [...]
