This is a video of and from a robotic spy hippopotamus baby built by John Downer Productions (previous spy animals) to infiltrate and film a bloat/pod/herd of wild hippopotamuses, including some exciting underwater action. Fascinating! Did you know hippos don’t swim but actually walk/run along the bottom of the water?
This is a digitized 35mm film from a car cruising the Las Vegas strip in 1975. Those were the days, weren’t they? No clue, I wasn’t even a worried look on my dad’s face yet. It would have been cool to experience Las Vegas back in its heyday though. Especially
This is a video of a Finnish Willow Grouse (aka Riekko Mukana) making the sounds that it makes. I’ve heard the bird’s vocalization described as “annoying” and “unnerving”, but it’s really just more unusual than anything, not unlike its choice of mascara. Now I’m not saying I’d want to wake
These are a bunch of very worthwhile videos of musician GLASYS (aka Gil Assayas) creating live MIDI art by pressing the corresponding keys on a keyboard to create different shapes as time passes, with a musical byproduct. It reminded me of the songs created by the MIDI shapes of the
This is a 3D visualization created by Youtuber Jared Owen exploring the Statue Of Liberty.

The tours at the end were the most exciting part though. Of
This is a very clever video from Jessa of Hyperbolium of a MIDI player performing a piano medley of each US state’s shape as roughly drawn in a visual MIDI player. All the states sound so good you almost forget they’re nine-tenths filled with people you can’t stand. Just for
This is a video from Pensacola Beach, Florida of the Blue Angel Lead Solo performing its signature Sneak Pass at 700MPH during the Blue Angels’ final airshow of their 75th Anniversary season. I wish I could have been there to really feel that fly-by in my loins, you know? Would
This is a video from a couple dudes who spotted a man driving his 90’s GMC truck that was heavily modified to appear that it’s driving in reverse, with the driver’s seat facing the bed in what is traditionally the rear passenger side of the vehicle. Admittedly, a great way
