Jell-o? More like Jell-WHOA!

I'm a sucker for a good slow-mo shot. There's just something fascinatingly elegant about seeing something that happens in the blink of an eye slowed down to several seconds. We're able to see things we'd never be able to with the naked eye.

The folks at Modernist Cuisine have put together a couple of clips of slow-mo food related items.
The first is a gelatin cube dropped onto a solid surface. Watch as the cube flops around in ways that almost make it look like a liquid:

This one is creamer being poured into coffee:


Beautiful!

If you're like me...



If you're like me, you may have wondered..."Does beer go bad?"
Fortunately for you (and me!) the fine blogger girl over at "Were You Wondering?" has answered that question...and many others!

In short, No, beer won't really go bad.


If you want to hear the full story though, including how your beer can eventually taste "Skunky"






Who would save a beer for 20 years?!?

Multitask 2



This game, has to be one of the hardest games I have ever played.
The idea behind "Multitask 2" is to play a minigame. Sounds easy, but as you continue playing a new minigame is added to the one you're already in the middle of. This game gets very stressful very quickly and you have to keep your eyes (and brain) on separate tasks.

The Art of Photography!

"A picture is worth a thousand words" is a saying I strongly believe in. I've always been fascinated with photography and recently I've become even more interested. I bought a Nikon D7000 last week and soon I'll be taking a photography course at Niagara College. I needed a place to store and display my pictures so I decided to get a flickr account. You can check out some of my best photos by clicking here to go to my profile!

Here are some samples...



Power.

Taking Flight

Steel Wheel

Right now photography is more of a hobby, but who knows where it could take me!

Tuesday Tunes!

Today's music video is the latest single from Katy Perry called "ET"
I chose this as today's Tuesday Tunes because it's a little bit different than most music videos, it's an official "lyrics video"
What's that you ask?

Think of it as a very cool, very stylized karaoke version of the song!


These types of music videos often come out before the official music video does. As is the case with Cee Lo Green's song "Fuck You"

Tuesday Tunes!



Today for Tuesday Tunes, I have something a little different.
Instead of just one music video, I'm posting a website, which has a collection of...EPIC MUSIC!
The website is of course called: Epic-Music


They have epic music from video games, trailers, and movies.
All of it stolen right from God's iPod.
Here are some samples from their collection:

UP, UP AND AWAY!


The fine people over at National Geographic have constructed a real life version of the house from the Disney movie UP.
Not only did they build it, but they made it fly!


From Gizmodo:
The 16 by 16 feet wooden house was hooked to 300 weather balloons full of helium, reaching together a total height of 10 stories. National Geographic has sent us raw footage from their new program How Hard Can It Be?—which premieres this fall—showing it taking off from a private Los Angeles air field. It reached more than 10,000 feet during its one hour flight.

Tuesday Tunes!

Queen is one of my favourite bands! Such classic rock music.
Someday I'd love to meet Freddie Mercury!
...What's that?
He's dead?!
He died nearly 20 years ago!?
Well at least they have a replacement...

████████████ 99%

In this day and age it almost seems unnecessary to have loading bars, what with the increased internet speed and all!
Most of the time loading bars are pretty plain and boring and just sort of stand in the way of whatever it is you want to see.


There is one exception though...when the loading bar is just a loading bar, to another loading bar.
Confused?

Check out the site Pretty Loaded
It's a compilation of loading bars from various sites and promotional campaigns. Think of it as a virtual loading bar museum! You can sort them by date, and even download a screensaver version!

Some are strange...

















Some are cryptic...













and some are...naked?
