Disaster!

The movie 2012 is coming to a theater near you! If you've seen the trailer, you've probably got mixed feelings. You really want to see those special effects, but at the same time you don't want to pay for what will certainly be a terrible movie.

Well, someone else had those same thoughts. They remixed the trailer in order to make it more candid about its true identity.

Yay! Bubbles!

High speed cameras are cool. Bubbles are fun too, but they need more color.

Fly Power

This is a digital clock.



It's not immediately apparent, because what's really on display is a microbial fuel cell. You see that trapped fly? It's on its way to a bacteria bath, where it will be literally digested and converted into electricity.

I can't tell if these machines actually function, or if they are just design ideas for the future. According to the world's memory, the technology for these robots is available. So even if the pictured robot doesn't work, it could be built.

Honestly, I just wonder about the smell.

Sprinkler vs Man

This is a fun little drama played out in 3 parts behind the façade of Target.

Part 1: The Setup : 0:00
Part 2: The Incident : 1:05
Part 3: The Fix : 2:42




My favorite has to be his first stepladder decision.

Happily Ever After

Sometimes, happily ever after, isn't. Dina Goldstein took a crack at photographing Disney on hard times.

Snow White learns that Dwarves with jobs are far better than a dead beat prince.



Perhaps Grandma's cooking isn't trans fat free.
