Anti-Gravity Dance

Anti-Gravity Dance

Look Ma, no wire fu: we must admit we’re a tad mesmerized by the swirling, balletic choreography that these four skydivers do in the Skydive Arena wind tunnel in Prague, Czech Republic.

HamsterCat

HamsterCat

Say, isn’t that ball supposed to be for a hamster? Clearly, this kitten doesn’t know any better. It’s cute, but that Stealers Wheel song always makes us think of Reservoir Dogs, not Reservoir Cats.

BlendTec vs. Sonim

BlendTec vs. Sonim

The world’s strongest blender meets the world’s toughest phone. BlendTec does the Will it Blend test/ad with Sonim’s XP3300 Force phone. Compare it with how the iPhone 4 fared here.

Ultimate Stuffed Dog Tease

Ultimate Stuffed Dog Tease

Tommy the Chihuahua doesn’t want to share his new bone with Lulu, the stuffed chihuahua here; this goes to our theory that the toys are the feistiest of all the dog groups. (Thanks Stephanie!)

Mind Your Step

Mind Your Step

No man, don’t do it! Oh wait. Photographer Erik Johansson set up this very convincing perspective illusion at Sergels torg in Sweden. Watch the making of video and more reactions here.

Cliché !

Enjoy a baguette and a glass of Merlot as you enjoy Animator Cédric Villain’s humorous take on the wide array of French stereotypes in the short film Cliché ! French-speakers, watch it here.

How Not to Add a Skylight

How Not to Add a Skylight

Guitar Baby

Guitar Baby

It became obvious midway through that this is a viral video for Ubisoft’s upcoming game Rocksmith. But when we realized that, the cute factor gave way to the mad editing and special effects.

The Art of Deception

The Art of Deception

Magician Marco Tempest uses a trio of iPod Touches to teach us about the critical role that lying, deception (and self-deception) play in our enjoyment of art, movies, magic, and life.

3-Way Street

3-Way Street

Ron Gabriel’s 3-Way Street thesis project tracks a camera at the Manhattan intersection of 28th and Park Avenue, where a plethora of hair-raising street traffic drama unfolds. (Thanks Mat!)

The Spin Cycle

The Spin Cycle

Zeke the dog just had a bath. While you’d think his owner would be able to towel him off more, he’s got his own special way of drying off before he can get settled down for a post-bath rest.

Death Metal Dancing

Death Metal Dancing

We’re going to go out on a limb and say that death metal wasn’t the original soundtrack for these guys’ bitchin’ dance moves, but even if this isn’t what they were dancing to, somehow it still works.

Beer Can Robot

Beer Can Robot

This ordinary-looking can actually has circuits inside instead of beer. Currently being developed by Ron Tajima, the transforming beer can robot can walk, roll and revert to its original form.

Fredde Gredde x Killer Queen

Fredde Gredde x Killer Queen

Medley master Fredde Gredde takes on a single song this time, but with 7 harmonic clones of himself, for a fun cover of Queen’s classic rock jam. Still, 8 Freddes < 1 Freddie (Mercury).

Angry Birds Live

Angry Birds Live

In Barcelona, Spain, T-Mobile set up a life-size Angry Birds game, “controlled” by a smartphone, complete with live musical accompaniment and cheering audience when the piggies explode.

The Greeks (Music Video)

The Greeks (Music Video)

No, this isn’t the video for Gorillaz’ Kids With Guns, it’s actually for a group known as Is Tropical. Regardless, it’s got kids, guns, and a violent style that mixes comic books with Freddie Wong.

Bagging Like a Boss

Bagging Like a Boss

Even if your job is to put silk sarees in bags, you can still take pride in what you do. That’s exactly what this guy does with his mad bagging skills. We need this guy at our local grocery store.

Did You Hear a Click?

Did You Hear a Click?

Seniors and 21st century technology generally don’t mix, as is evidenced by Rita and Frank’s funny and endearing attempt to snap a celebratory photo on their new Mac. Is this thing on?
