Have you ever seen someone dump his hands in a tub of liquid nitrogen and quickly pull it off without having it frozen in the process? Yes, this is possible, thanks to what is called “the Leidenfrost Effect.” The Leidenfrost effect is a natural phenomenon in which a liquid, (in this case liquid nitrogen), contacts […]
By Mic Mell Guest Blogger We all love a good fight scene, and sometimes we love a bad fight scene even more. After some research, we have found six fight that can only be described as WTF moments. From the poor choreography to the horrible dramatics, these scenes are guaranteed to leave you saying “SO […]
By Xavier Lanier Guest Blogger I’ve been using a mobile internet device for the past couple of months and have enjoyed the experience so far. My MID of choice is the Viliv S5 and I’ve used it much more than I expected to. I’m a Web publisher and spend most of time online, so it’s […]
Written and directed by Carlos Lascano, The Can was realized for a program organized by Red Bull and the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. We’ve also featured Mr. Lascano’s work in the past when he released A short love story, a short film that was produced using similar animation techniques.
This week we bring you offerings from the craftier geeks among us.

By Chris Burdick Guest Blogger In the consumer electronics world, companies have to be continuously innovating to keep up with each other. This is why last year’s revolutionary $3000 Plasma HDTV only costs $1500 now. The automotive world isn’t all that different; car makers need to keep adding more technology in their cars to keep […]
Realized by Jesper Kirkeby Brevik for a class assignment at the University of Waikato in New Zealand, Just Colour is a short video that uses various colors splashing in what looks like water to convey meaning to an orchestral piece. As you’ll soon see, the result is absolutely amazing.
Are you amused or disturbed by this video? Color me a little of both. Very little. But I have to hand it to the guy (or just throw it at his butt) — it’s definitely something I can’t do. Nor am I planning to invest the time into acquiring this skill. How about you? Thanks […]
An amazing video about the Hubble Deep Field, ending with a flythrough of its representation in 3D, rendered using the measured redshift of the picture. Even though the camera seems to be slowly drifting among the galaxies, it belies the fact that the viewpoint is hurtling through the universe at a speed of around 200 […]
