Damn this is a good video. It makes my skin crawl but I can't stop looking. Couple a simple video effect with the likes of Grace Jones and you have something that is reminiscent of H.R. Giger's Alien.

I love this Benny Benassi song "Satisfaction", the saw-tooth bass and obvio-synthetic vocals stick in your head. Anyway, found two videos for it. The "dirty" one (below) is a RIOT! May be NSFW if girls in bikinis are frowned upon. It's sorta like the Snap-On calendar girls turned up to 11.Link.

File under "the lights went out," this Phonofone II will passively amplify your iPod earbuds into sound that is audible in a room. It claims to do so at 55db which is pretty good but won't rock the house. $500 even and it too can be yours when the economy collapses and the coal runs out. Good luck charging your iPod, though.Link. Thanks, Jeff!

Man is it cold outside. Here's a picture that is a composite of 9 consecutive shots stacked and blended together in Photoshop. The total length of time was 18 minutes, 2 minutes each, f5.0 @ ISO 100. The star trails are evident as are the storm clouds rolling in from the southwest. Click for a larger view. Enjoy.

It's not all bad. Somebody has to find the good stuff.
Well, he's right. The blog Fast Food Critic takes the unenviable task of the taster for the common folk. Sometimes it's horrible, sometimes it's passable. I'll pass!
The picture of the above is Wawa's Hot Turkey and Stuffing bowl (get it, for Thanksgiving?) but it looks more like a bloody mess to me.

The nice thing about Flickr is that you can follow a path that will undoubtedly take you to pictures that you've never seen before. This Flickr set by user boltron- shares with us some spectacular reinterpretations of panoramas.
Link to Flickr set for user boltron-.
Update: Here's a nice tutorial on the process using Photoshop or The Gimp.

This is a very clever video of a monster truck rally that was shot as a "stop motion" animation and tilt shifted (most likely in post). Anyway, the effect is amazing because of the scale of the trucks to begin with and the relative size of people. The eye does funny things when focus is shifted like this. Amazing.
