  • Breaking the World Record for the Largest Lego Star Wars Army?

    This is interesting to watch just to see the sheer volume of the boxes, the pieces and the assembled minifigures. We’ve all seen displays where the same box was repeated several times – on the stores at shelves. But this is a whole different scale. I think my favorite part is the very end where…

  • Twenty-Five Extremely Impressive Lego Builds

    When I first saw some of the new shapes Lego was making, I kind of felt like it was cheating. When I was a kid, I didn’t have to walk to school, 37 miles, barefoot, through the snow, uphill, both ways, as the joke goes (or did, before it was beaten to death, but that’s…

  • Panavision The Babes Strike Back

    Yoda, Jabba the Hutt, Chewbacca as, um, babes. Oh, and Darla Vader. Watch it.

  • The Phantom Menace in the Style of 1950s Panavision.

    A couple of weeks ago, I came across a trailer for Star Wars done in this style. As seems fitting, it was a bit better than the trailer for the Phantom Menace, but this one is still pretty amusing. They nailed the stylings.

  • Nanites?

    Really interesting things being done by very small robots working together, but I can’t help but think of nanites from Star Trek TNG and the swarm from the book Prey by Michael Crichton. This video is about 2 minutes, 40 seconds long. I think it’s worth the watch. It’s one of those if you try…

  • 60 Seconds of Magic

    After the guy finishes, he says it has to be worth a like and a share, and I agree with him. It’s 60 seconds well-spent.

  • Climate Science

    Climate science is an interesting topic. It’s extremely in-depth, people get very passionate about it. The biggest problem I have with it is that the people who are the most passionate, the most convinced that there is a problem, 1) Claim that the science is settled while more information floods in and 2) don’t even…

  • Star Wars in Super Panavision!

    I’ll let this trailer speak for itself.

  • Creative Dent Strategy

    This is the best idea for dealing with a dent I’ve seen in a while aside from repairing it.
