86 PCs lined up like dominoes. One single flick..and they go “BAM”. Truely a fun sight to behold

This video was basically compiles as a tribute to Ron Fricke. The clip is a spectacular time lapse of the sky of Edinburgh from morning to night, that took two years to make. (The rainbow, moon and stars scenes are absolutely stunning!). Gotta love Scotland

The fun way of saying “We care”, from the U.S govt . Enjoy

I won’t spoil it for you but this is one of the best commercials I have seen in a long time.Too bad I can’t patronize the advertiser, since  I’ve never seen that (…..) in my life.

PS:Can anyone tell me what the song is in the background?

This guy takes a high speed camera and films things getting shot in super slow mo. Some really cool stuff here, word on the street is he’s taking requests for the follow up video.

Aaah..just can’t get enough of bowling. Maybe that is why I love watching ED.

Details: A guy plays a terrible prank with his roller coaster tycoon 3 installation. The results are sweet as saccharine.

Syd Lexia (a twentysomething slacker who has a bachelor’s degree in philosophy) rates the 23 girl/female characters of the NES according to hotness and of course, inner beauty.
The one above is Samus Aran [wiki] of the game Metroid [wiki], which the game intentionally lead players to believe is a male cyborg (even referring the character as such in the game manual) until the very end of the game!

Really cool looking star-wars inspired graffiti done on mangy old thug-corners. You see now, there is a star-wars nerd among everybody..even hooligans and crooks who lurk in the shadows.

Update : It seems that my post hit digg frontpage and a lot of diggers are upset because I called the talented artists behind numerous street-arts/graffities as “Hooligans and Crooks”. I just wanted to say that I’m extremely sorry to cause this confusion. I’m a star-wars fan (if not a fanatic) myself and I absolutely adore graffiti and highly value this swirling art form. My post was merely meant to cause sarcasm unto those who undermine street art as “Thug Crap” or “Junk of the hoods”. I was trying to mock those who think that ripe brains are only aplenty in the high annals of the new-yorker or the NYtimes. Please don’t be confused, I’m a big fan of street art too (especially the Latino ones and those found in Bronx)

Update 2: It seems that the digg effect has virtually started to deteriorate my blog’s image elements and what not. If you can’t view the image you came looking here for, then please visit its flickr page. You can also find the “Star-wars related art criticised by faux star-wars lovers in a south-east-asian-brown dudes random blog” there

“Pure Gold”. If you ever thought that the truth about every computer nerd out there isn’t ubiquitous enough, then you definitely though wrong. Because this commercial goes to show that being a nerd isn’t always fun..and nerds can be heartless brutes too.
