Seven years in the making, this is a video of BuildsByBaz’s lifesize (28-foot) replica of a Colonial Viper Mark II spaceship from Battlestar Galactica. It’s glorious. Could you imagine sitting in the cockpit of that thing making pew-pew noises to yourself? That’s what my dreams are made of. Just kidding,

This is a video of former NASA engineer Mark Rober pitting a Tesla’s camera-based autopilot feature against a Lexus’s LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging, which uses lasers to measure distances and create 3D maps) to see which operates safer. The Lexus passes all six tests (stationary child in road, running

This is a clever dice rolling machine designed and assembled by The Karakuri Channel from 3D printed parts. When USB powered, it’s capable of rolling two mini dice over and over, collecting the dice after a roll, sending them up an elevator, and rerolling (complete with two rings that descend

Because if you yell ‘Free Bird’ at enough concerts somebody is bound to oblige, this is a video of musician Mo Yun performing Lynyrd Skynyrd’s guitar solo from the song on a traditional Chinese guzheng (a form of plucked zither). Like my girlfriend whenever she senses I’m about to start

This is a clip of a future knee replacement candidate racing down the 999-step ‘Stairway To Heaven, located in Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park in Zhangjiajie, China. The stairs have been modded with additional parkour obstacles, and I can feel my ankles snapping just watching. Could I win the race?

Because percussion makes everything better (besides a headache), this is a video of musician Joe Porter (previously) performing the iconic guitar lick from Weezer’s ‘Buddy Holly’ on 31 unusual instruments. “In a row?” IN A ROW. It was a fun watch. Personally, I’m only master of one instrument: my voice.

Because everybody’s weekend project is different (mine was failing to clean the garage), these are two videos from Youtuber gptars, who modded an animatronic Big Mouth Billy Bass with AI and the voice of Arnold Schwarzenegger. It can now respond to prompts in real time, and finish famous Arnold movie

Because some people presumably can pat their head and rub their stomach at the same time, this is a video of musician Pat Hinds performing Dire Straights’ ‘Sultans of Swing’ on a double harp guitar, with one hand performing the guitar medley, and the other the bass line on the

This is a video of Sith cosplayer Kurt Mannebach, who has a nifty trick to make his lightsaber hover around him when thrown for EXTRA dark lord flair. And that trick, obviously, is actually being able to harness the Force. And my mom said it wasn’t real! View this post

Take a step into my way-back machine and watch (and listen to) an Intel 486DX2 (with 32MB RAM and 500MB hard disk storage!) booting up. That thing was state of the art when it was released 30 years ago. Now it’s like a fossilized dinosaur turd. We sure have come
