Hahaha the failed demo model.

I'm really excited for this movie.

Probably the best all-spectrum views of the Venus transit.

Neat little remix sampling from years of video game sound effects, in chronological order.

Cool mini-documentary on the resurgence of 8-bit style in art and music.

Leaf blowers!

Pretty cool achievement.

Tape is too short to do much interesting, but still cool.

Nice trick to sort of get a progress bar for MySQL indexing by sampling the size of the log.

Mind blown! No idea this is where parts of "Crazy" came from.

Best animal adoption ad I've ever seen.

Some neat "continuous edit" special effects for a portal gun.

Pretty amazing. Hard to believe this is what we thought models should look like. I kinda want the belt...

Love that the Senate Republicans are trying to bring us back 20 years.

They need the incentive to take simple basic security steps.

Good analysis. I'll still dream of an xMac, though.

A+. I never really liked the puppet sequences, but I liked the trolley and many other parts of Mr. Rogers. Another great entry from Symphony of Science.

A story from Ray's childhood.

Hadn't read this one before.

Creepy Soviet-era adaptation of "There Will Come Soft Rains".

A great overview of the demise of Palm. If there was never a more telling sign of Tim Cook's power: "Apple bought them all. Our suppliers tell us we need to build them a factory if we want the displays." Control the supply chain to stop the competition.

Ansar Dine is imposing extreme sharia law in the ancient trading city.

Pretty cool reuse of a never-launched spy satellite.

Good review of her project, but like the trumpeting of Radiohead's and NIN's self-marketed albums, her name was already out there so it's an unusual case.

Just another example of how demographic shifts are polarizing.

Huge scoop by the Times on Bush and Obama approval of the attack worm that became known as Stuxnet.

Good comments from a professor of Hebrew Bible on shifting cultural norms of marriage as depicted in the Bible.

I think it's a good summary of the show we saw. I liked David Wax Museum's stage presence a bit more, although I went in knowing more of Joe Pug's music.

Pretty awesome galley-style apartment.

Nothing like redefining reality.
