Matrix goes A capella

 

Alright, I know I have been neglecting my blog for a while now, but I am back. Had to deal with actual RL issues. Anyhow, to get back into the swing of things, here is a remix of the Matrix lobby scene, by Matt Mulholland. I pretty much am a fan of all things Matrix, and besides that, his one-man sound effects are awesomesauce.

Office Space with a teddy bear

After spending a few years in corporate America, I pretty much wanted to put my head in an oven. This video, besides being utterly hilarious, will probably look sadly familiar to any of you out their who have the misfortune to work in an office.

Robot goes to school

A high-school boy, named Lyndon Baty has polycystic kidney disease, leaving him with "virtually no immune system". Because of his condition, he has been unable to have contact with his friends, or attend his classes for over a year. Well, that has all changed for him now... kind of. Now Lyndon can virtually attend classes and walk the halls with his classmates, through the screen of his robotic avatar on wheels. The robot attends his classes, and Lyndon gets to feel like he is there too. According to the NBC report:

"The technology, which works like video conferencing, allows him to attend class, visit the school canteen, and even hang around the yard.
It is the first time the machine has been used in a school - and it has given Lyndon, from Knox City, a new lease of life. His mother Sheri told local NBC news station KFDX: 'He has a reason to get up. He takes his medicine, eats, and he's sitting and waiting for that (school) bell to ring.''It's absolutely amazing,' Lyndon added. 'I would have never thought when I was sick that I would ever have any interaction, much less this kind. It is just like I am there in the classroom.'"

Pretty awesome, if you ask me. Be honest, if given the chance, wouldn't you just like to sit at home once in a while, and send your robot-avatar to work. It would certainly be easier than pretending to pay attention during boring staff meetings!

Minnesota Death Star

This video starts out as a pretty snow scene, and ends up being a tribute to American ingenuity and obsessive fanaticism. I have to applaud the guy who did this, it is a pretty impressive star wars re-make, as far as amateurs go. One YouTube commenter said "i see this video blowing up... like the deathstar". Gotta love it. :)

Day 09 – A picture of your favorite animal

As anyone who knows me in RL will tell you, I am basically obsessed with bears of any kind, but polar bears are my favorite. Why? Because they are awesome, that's why. Here is a video of a polar bear dancing to Scissor Sisters' "I Don't Feel Like Dancing". Below are a few pictures to further illustrate my point about their general awesomeness. Enjoy :)
