Video of the Day: What if ET is out there?

If you can muster up half an hour to watch Kony 2012, then surely you can give up 19 minutes of your life to watch this video. Dr. Seth Shostak is confident that we will be able to detect extraterrestrial life within the next two dozen years. There is a lot of mathematically data that…

Video of the Day: Texting and Driving

Texting and driving is something that we’re all guilty of, and you’d either be a saint or a liar if you said you have never checked your phone while driving, regardless of whether you’re actually in motion (whoa, hello there daredevil) or at the red light.  But in reality, it’s extremely dangerous. Why else would…

Video of the Day: Lollipop or Art?

My vote is for the latter. A street vendor in China creates a dragon-shaped lollipop using nothing but a marble slab, a spoon, and some caramel. For something done so spontaneously, where every motion has an impact on the final product, this man is highly impressive. He uses caramel, potentially one of the most viscous…

A Collection of Nyan Cats

Nyan cat, the most annoying meme ever, or an amusing musical piece? Either way, the title has piqued your interest and I’m going to post my favorite videos related to Nyan Cat.  [youtube QH2-TGUlwu4] The original Nyan Cat video…extended.  Bothersome? Perhaps. Strange? Of course. Addicting? Absolutely! [youtube P0bpK7kPRys] Pianos + Nyan Cat = Cooool [youtube…

The zen in you
