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 [...]

 December 18, 2008 | category: animal kingdom 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 [...] December 14, 2008 | category: television 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. [...] December 13, 2008 | category: science 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, [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] December 5, 2008 | category: games 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 riding through streets [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] November 24, 2008 | category: science 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?
November 21, 2008 | category: music 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 much [...] |
