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

This is a video of guitarist Mat of Artificial Fear performing a heavy metal cover of the theme song from ‘Severance’. It’s a tasty jam (like strawberry balsamic or peach apricot). I’m actually in the process of rewatching the first season of ‘Severance’ with my girlfriend’s intention of binging Season

Because all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, Unnecessary Inventor Matty built an office chair see-saw (we called them teeter-totters when I was growing up). It also rotates on its base and can move on wheels for extra dimensions of fun/motion sickness. My coworkers better hope it

These are a couple video of San Francisco lawyer Trevor Mead’s Doleresaurus costume, a blue-LED illuminated t-rex exoskeleton he likes to wear around Haight Street and Dolores Park at sunset. Hey — we all spend our evenings differently. Unless you spend yours eating multiple TV dinners back-to-back and yelling at

The brainchild (stomachchild?) of digital artist Bennett Waisbren, ‘You Are What You Eat’ is a video series of humanoids made from different foods in the process of eating themselves. That’s something I didn’t think I was going to see today. The internet, am I right? “What about it?” It should

This is a video of the fun-loving Aussies of Youtube channel How Ridiculous living my dream and overinflating a variety of different objects until they explode. Objects include hot water bottles (this guy: hold my beer), 5 gallon buckets, a variety of different sports balls, and an exercise ball. The

To celebrate Mario Day (MAR10) and take all my money in the process, LEGO has just unveiled a 1,972-piece build set of Mario in his Mario Kart. The $170 set is available now for pre-order, and will be on regular sale starting on what is presumably Maris Day (MAR15). Am

This is Pokearth, a series of nature documentaries created by animator EnlargedKai (and narrated by Paul Warren) about Pokemon (Doduo, Wailord, Clodsire, Magikarp, and Spheal) in the style of David Attenborough’s ‘Planet Earth’ on BBC. They were a fun watch — I especially liked the Doduo and Magikarp ones, and
