If you’ve ever wondered just how sturdy the concrete pillars made to hold up buildings are, watch this video, in which University of Illinois engineers apply over a million pounds of pressure directly to a concrete cylinder.

A jazzy arrangement of Radiohead’s Creep, performed by vocalist Karen Souza, ironically turning the tables on the song’s original protagonist. Hear more of her sultry covers here. Her Tainted Love is pretty great too.

(NSFW: Language) Two employees volunteer to go around the office and have their co-workers sign on a farewell card for another co-worker, who as it turns out doesn’t know that he’s leaving. It’s like The Office, but with robots.

We’ve seen the Festival of Colors as a fun party. Variable on the other hand presents it as a surreal, transcendent experience, as if the colors were hope, joy and life itself springing forth. Shot on a Phantom Flex at 2560fps.

Jack Conte of Pomplamoose hypes up his upcoming solo EP with this mashup of various Daft Punk and Skrillex tracks. Conte adds flair to his performance by adding perfectly synchronized video footage on the TV below.

Boston Dynamics’ versatile humanoid robot, PETMAN, takes to the runway and struts its stuff, demonstrating its ability to simultaneously amaze us with its technology and freak the hell out of us. The robopocalypse is nigh.

GreenpeaceUK does a solid job appealing to the more playful nature of people to rally some support for the European Union to start lowering its carbon emissions. Maybe the game will port to other parts of the world soon.
