Tim Minchin’s wee animated short here, Storm, is quite something.
I’m not usually one to go for beat poetry, but this ten-minute tirade had me picking up my jaw from the floor.
Watch only if you’re either a sceptical person or not too easily offended.
I <3 you NMA. Once again, the Taiwanese animators hit the nail on the head:
It’s been real quiet on here. A little too quiet.
I’m not terribly sure where I found this video, I think someone posted it on Twitter a while ago. Interesting food for thought though – is it a bit of a challenging notion that once people are paid enough to be comfortable and not be stressed about money, they don’t actually produce better work when financial reward is the motivator.
I hope nobody from work sees this and gets any bright ideas. I rather like my bonus, thanks very much. A lot of what’s here really rings true though… what do you reckon?
I’m amazed at how… alive the movement of this little robot appears. Between that and the donkey-sized BigDog, it seems autonomous legged robots will get a bunch more creepy looking in the near future.
I spent all this time finding out the right way to pronounce Eyjafjallajökull, so I’m secretly glad that it’s continuing to stay topical and erupt. Here, I spotted this very pretty time-lapse video on Gizmodo of billowing ash clouds rolling skyward and toward the jet engines of Europe. Enjoy.
