Amazing L.A. Timelapse

This is really beautiful. They used to have a High Def version you could download that was even better. This was shot using a Cannon 20D which is a digital still camera not a video camera. That means they took 30 shots per second and sped up the entire sequences. It is mind boggling to think how much time this would have taken to make. Takes a while to load but well worth the wait.

Update: Just found another one. Check it out here.

Telemarketer Nightmare



This is so funny. It's audio only from the Bob and Tom Show.

Wall of Wind


To help test building structural integrity someone has created this crazy wind machine.

"Florida International University professor Stephen Leatherman, who, with the help of his students, has constructed a so-called "Wall of Wind" capable of destroying a free-standing house in under 10 minutes. In its current iteration, the Wall uses two stacked eight-foot diameter fans hooked up to a pair of 500-horsepower engines to produce winds in excess of 115-mph, with plumbing that allows water to be fed into the system and whipped against the target."

You can't mention Spinal Tap without watching this clip. Best rock joke of all time.

Volkswagen Christopher Guest Ad


I cheered when I first saw this commercial. Spinal Tap rocks!!! Why don't more guitar players wear kilts?

Deep-fried Coca-Cola

"Vendor Abel Gonzales Jr. has come up with a new artery-clogging concoction for the State Fair of Texas. It's fried Coke. Gonzales deep-fries Coca-Cola-flavored batter. He then drizzles Coke fountain syrup on it. The fried Coke is topped with whipped cream, cinnamon sugar and a cherry. Gonzales said the fried Coke came about just from thinking aloud."

"Gonzales achieved notoriety in 2005 with the fried peanut butter, banana, and jelly sandwich -- selling an estimated 25,000 of the treats, according to the fair's Web site. The site said London got media attention in 2004 with her fried marshmallows on-a-stick."

Hmmm... sounds kinda crazy.
