Traveling even further back in time than that 2001 BBC news report about cameraphones comes this January 31, 1978 Talking Heads performance of ‘Psycho Killer’ on a British music television program called ‘Old Grey Whistle Test.’ Catchy name. I actually love ‘Psycho Killer’ and used to play it all the time on the jukebox at a bar I would go to until they removed it because I would play it all the time. It was their mistake replacing it with the Pixies album that has ‘Where Is My Mind?’ on it though.

This is a timelapse video of yesterday’s total lunar eclipse (aka blood moon) as captured by astrophotographers Astrofalls and Clanger_Mcbanger (great name) from Ironwood National Forest in Arizona. Total lunar eclipses are called blood moons because of their red hue, due to the only sunlight reaching the moon having passed through earth’s atmosphere, scattering blue light, and leaving only the longer red/yellow/orange wavelengths to reach its surface. How about that! And here I thought it was because a giant wolf was devouring the moon, spilling its virgin lunar blood and heralding the end times. Silly me and everyone hundreds of years ago.

Because otters make everything better, this is a video of pet otters Kotaro and Hana (previously seen here experiencing a popcorn maker for the first time) reacting to a soap-bubble gun. They’re uncertain about it at first, but curiosity eventually gets the better of them (thank God they’re not cats) and they get up close and personal to experience all that bubbly fun. Good times. True story: I once made a bubble solution out of vodka and loaded it into a bubble gun and two hours of catching bubbles and gnats on my tongue later I still wasn’t drunk. Not the worst Saturday afternoon, but certainly not the best either.

Take a trip down memory lane all the way back to 2001 with this BBC news report about the upcoming release of cameraphones — phones that can take and send photos in addition to text messages. The future! I love how the multimedia message the guy sends in the video is a whopping 7kB. Talk about high resolution! Now I’m not saying my girlfriend and I immediately embraced the new technology and basically invented modern sexting, but I did have a hard time figuring out what I was looking at. It’s a boob! I think it’s a boob. Is it a boob? She might just be at Target.

This is a video of musician Jared Halley performing all the individual instrumental parts (including vocals) of Green Day’s 1992 banger ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams’ acapella, combining them into a multi-track performance of the entire song. That’s neat. You know, I always fancied my voice a bass guitar. It’s deep. The kind of voice that they’d use for God in movies if they weren’t afraid of making God sound TOO godly. “He sounds like the adults in Peanuts cartoons.” Dammit honey, you’re just used to it.

Inspired by the very real roller coaster Steel Vengeance at Cedar Point, this is a video of Venomeater123 (is that venom-eater or veno-meater?) demonstrating the miniature version he build using K’Nex. It took him almost a year to construct, which doesn’t surprise me, because that thing is massive. What would surprise me is if it only took an afternoon. I wonder how much money all those pieces cost. I also wonder if there’s a profit to be made selling K’Nex on the blackmarket, and if Veno-Meater keeps his basement door locked.
