Awesome Tilt-Shift Time-Lapse Video of NYC - 1 views

  • When I first stumbled on this, I initially thought it was a new clip from [GaS] friend Keith Loutit, but the video actually comes from New York-based photographer Sam O’Hare. Check it out:

    Aero Director/ VFX artist Sam O’Hare has finished a short film, The Sandpit, that we’re very excited to be able to share with you. This short is inspired by films like Koyaanisqatsi (really, that’s not in spell check??), and time-lapse tilt shift photography.

With 'Sockintosh,' your Mac's power brick is now a foot warmer | DVICE - 1 views

  •  
    Knitter extraordinaire Rachael Burns from the UK has come up with a creative way to repurpose her Mac's power brick - you know, that big white box that keeps your computer fed. Well, those things can get pretty warm, and with her awesome knitting skills Rachael created a snuggie for her feet with a pouch for the power block. "I knitted this Apple Mac foot cosy after realising I constantly used my power adapter to keep my feet warm. It has a slot to put your adapter in," Rachael writes on her YouTube page. She also warns: "This was knitted as a joke! Your power adapter should be kept very well ventilated for safety reasons. Dont set fire to yourself please."

    Twain could knit one for you in about ten minutes I'll bet.

Urban Velo - Bicycle Culture on the Skids - 0 views

  •  
    Green-er MACHINES By Marci Blackman Photos by Ed Glazar In a four hundred square foot studio in Red Hook, the hinterland of Brooklyn, a botanist, an engineer, anthropologist and bike messenger mental away the hours putting the finishing touches on a bicycle that could save the world. Okay, maybe not the whole world. Perhaps not even a block of it. And twenty-somethings Justin Aguinaldo and Sean Murray would probably never refer to themselves as an anthropologist and botanist even though bike messenger Aguinaldo majored in anthropology in college, and Murray once taught the plant science to children with learning disabilities at the Churchill School in Manhattan. Mostly, along with Marty Odlin of Columbia University's Earth Institute (our engineer), they are a brainy trio of bike geeks who-like the rest of us-get excited over things like black-rimmed wheels with matching black spokes and black high flange hubs, gear ratios, and lightweight composites. And none of them is ever likely to profess that he could save the world. But the bicycle the three are developing along with the streamlining of its manufacturing process could help put a dent in a few of our problems: rural world poverty, health and well-being, greenhouse gases. Plus, as a bonus, they might even win the awesome wicked cool award while doing it.

With the rising popularity of Coffee, Western music, Buicks, and dozens of Wal-Marts opening around China, America just might be catching up in the culture war.

Please Rob Me | Friggin Random - Watch a funny video, picture, or whatever! - 2 views

  • Finally! Someone figured out how to use the web and all its awesomeness for what it was intended for, screwing people over (and also watching people screw). I’m surprised it’s taken someone this long to create a site to help the criminal community. Why a would-be robber spends time outside houses, trying to time when the homeowner leaves and comes back baffles my mind. Why do all that hard work when you have PleaseRobMe.com. Geotagging and twitter combined into an easy to use criminal platform.

    can you believe this? why? why? why? ohyeah, and who cares where people are EVERY SECOND of the day besides a parent or your boss?
