Explaining temperature (kelvin) and laser cooling
I did my master's thesis on some of the weird quantum effects he mentions at the very end. Such a cold cloud of gas can actually work as a quantum computer.

What if Earth had rings like Saturn?
Ah, one can dream...

A shame that the video cuts off the music so abruptly, though.

Don't fuck around with people playing wind instruments, OK?

Serious teeth damage usually follows.

America's problem is that men sit down when they pee
Via PZ Myers, who offers up this little witticism:

"Somehow, I get the idea that Steven L. Anderson, the flaming anti-gay pastor, has these dreams in which he stands shoulder to shoulder with a long line of men, and they all unzip and flip out their penises and spray a mighty stream forth, together, with pride and joy…and he feels good about these dreams. Glory!"

Mac Geek - Dag finally comes to his senses
You know what's great about linux? It's completely open-source, so if something crashes, you can just dmesg and grep to find out what the fuck went wrong and fix it so it doesn't happen again. How cool is that?

Girl vs. Closet
I rather think she's using youtube's option of uploading on the fly from the webcam.

Choral Superstar Eric Whitacre Conducts His Masterpiece
Finally! An Eric Whitacre video with high enough quality to do his music justice. I've been searching for this, thank you for finding it.

You do know that 'fisk' is the norwegian word for 'fish', right?, Well, you do now if you didn't already. Congratulations.

Upcoming Sift Interview: Pomplamoose (Music Talk Post)
>> ^Deano:
I haven't heard of them but isn't it odd to pose with cereal? I bet they're kooky.


The cereal seems to be a running gag: http://www.videosift.com/video/September-Earth-Wind-Fire-cover


Oh, and I just realized I had one more question:

6. Are they familiar with Lasse Gjertsen? Is the video editing inspired by him? They seem to use some of the same techniques as in i.e. Amateur and Hyperactive.

Upcoming Sift Interview: Pomplamoose (Music Talk Post)
This will be great! Thanks for taking the initiative on this, dag. I have a couple of questions as well:

1. What's their musical background, and where did they learn to play their instruments and sing? Do they come from musical families?

2. Is all that equipment theirs, and if so, how did they afford it? It looks pretty expensive. Did they buy most of it in one bunch or gather it up slowly over the years?

3. Their music is a lovely blend of many genres, but a major part of it seems to be rooted in *jazz. Which jazz artist has been most influential on their music?

4. Do they play any wind instruments? Or any other instruments that we haven't yet seen in a video? (Disregard the first part of this question if they actually do play a wind instrument in a video I haven't seen yet.)

5. How do they distribute their music? What are their thoughts on the future of music distribution?


I will appreciate it greatly if a couple of these questions could be worked into the interview.

Getting Ready for VideoSift 4.1 (Sift Talk Post)
Make the search function more easily sortable. I would like a drop-down menu after I have performed a simple search, where I can quickly reorder my search according to newest / oldest / most votes / etc. As it is now I first have to "go advanced with my query" and do the search again.

No, I've only read as far as Wizard and Glass. I too have been distracted by other books. But I'll shout out when I'm done with it.

In reply to this comment by residue:
Hey, did you ever finish the series? (I haven't read the last book yet since I got a little discouraged with the last couple, then distracted by other books)

"I'm still on the Wastelands"

Heh, so am I!

Shark enjoys a nose rub. In other news, Sharks have faces.
Alright, cute video, but the voiceover was more than a little disturbing.
