Came across this and had to post it. I am no anime superfan and I have no idea what/who this is. All I know is that it is awesome.

Magnet drops super-slowly through an eddy tube

Posted April 27, 2009 – in: Blog, Nerdiness, Technology, Viral

This video is not slowed down. The movement of a magnet falling down a copper tube creates an electrical current around the tube, which exerts a slowing force on the magnet.

WTF! is cornification?

Posted April 14, 2009 – in: Blog, Viral, Web

This nifty little distraction came to me while I was watching an episode of DL.TV (please come back) and Robert Herron made note of the most peculiar website. It’s called cornify “Unicorns and Rainbows On-Demand” and it’s every bit as stupidly awesome as you’d expect.

Mobile Phones can “pop” pop-corn….. or an awesome viral vid?

Posted March 16, 2009 – in: Blog, Nerdiness, Technology, Viral

In the video several groups of friends point the antenna of their cell phones inward toward a small number of kernels. After calling every phone in tandem they begin to ring on the table and shortly after….. Pop! goes the first kernel. Then the next and so on. Now, call me a skeptic but you would think that the evening news would find such and amazing discovery a new way to scare the crap out of the general public to get them to watch more news. Well that lead me search for the answer, which lead me to Wired.com and the answer.
