I don’t know why I find this video so funny or how I managed to actually watch the full hour, but I just couldn’t stop laughing. Watching these three guys stumble through trying to fly an incredibly realistic version of an airplane just cracks me up.

Remember those videos I posted back on Halloween of a house featuring an amazing light show? Well after that LMFAO video went totally viral, LMFAO actually showed up at his house to do a video:
LMFAO even made use of his house for the American Music Awards:
He also created a great light show for “Sexy And I Know It”:
Props Matt whose post reminded me to post an update.
Wow, this upcoming movie starring MMA fighter Gina Carano actually looks surprisingly good! Most fighter-turned-actor movies don’t, but I guess this one is going against the trend.
I was in Budapest last week for the Automattic company meetup and during that meetup a bunch of us went out go karting. I took my GoPro HD Hero 1 with me and mounted it onto my go kart using a suction cup. The videos turned out pretty cool (although lighting was an issue) so I thought I’d post two of them here. 
The Opening Race
I had gone to this place a few days before so I already knew the track and the karts but most of the people I was racing against where new to the track and karts, hence the speed differences.
The Championship Race
The people who posted the top 7 best lap times were put into a starting grid and had a final race off. The track’s narrow width made it nearly impossible to pass but it was still quite fun!
The final lap (starting at about 8:20) was a victory lap which is why I was goofing around and trying to powerslide.
This is just so mind-bogglingly amazing. I love it.
He’s even set it up for other songs: View On YouTube (sorry, can’t embed, but worth clicking!)
A cool video made up of a series of time-lapse images taken from the International Space Station:
Here’s the description from the original choppy version of the video:
A time-lapse taken from the front of the International Space Station as it orbits our planet at night. This movie begins over the Pacific Ocean and continues over North and South America before entering daylight near Antarctica. Visible cities, countries and landmarks include (in order) Vancouver Island, Victoria, Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles. Phoenix. Multiple cities in Texas, New Mexico and Mexico. Mexico City, the Gulf of Mexico, the Yucatan Peninsula, El Salvador, Lightning in the Pacific Ocean, Guatemala, Panama, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Lake Titicaca, and the Amazon. Also visible is the earths ionosphere (thin yellow line), a satellite (55sec) and the stars of our galaxy.
So beautiful.
Last Sunday, Nobuhiro “Monster” Tajima absolutely hauled ass up Pikes Peak for the 2011 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. He was the first person to break the 10 minute time up the mountain.
Make sure to watch this video in HD and in fullscreen — it’s an amazing bit of driving.
PS: I am so getting one of those cameras once I get a better car. It’ll be fun to record roadtrips, etc.
A very interesting discussion between evolutionary biologist and atheist Richard Dawkins and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, two of my most favorite minds in science today. It’s well worth taking a break from your day to watch it.
As you may be aware, I’m a big fan of time-lapse star videos. They’re so beautiful and remind me just how insignificant we are in the big scheme of things.
The following one is made from a series of photographs by Stéphane Guisard and José Francisco Salgado of the European Southern Observatory that were taken at the Very Large Telescope in the Chilean desert.
I strongly recommend watching it in fullscreen and 720p HD.
Also here’s a little reminder that we’re the ones rotating rather than the stars (you might want to mute the bad music):
