A master bladesmith makes beautiful knives
Nice, very nice. I love seeing stuff like this, and it instantly reminded me of my all-time favorite piece of bladesmithing, the Norimitsu Ôdachi (http://japantrip.tripod.com/nodachi/norimitsu.html). One of my ambitions is to one day see it myself in real life, but that will not happen withouth some sort of miracle, I take it these things are locked up and hidden pretty well.

That there is a 377cm blade with a 226,7cm cutting edge. And unlike many other ceremonial ôdachis which are composed of two or three pieces and then welded together, this thing is one solid piece of folded steel, made in the same way traditional katanas were made. Mind boggling.

Then there's always the sword of Goujian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sword_of_Goujian). The damn thing was buried in a tomb underwater for over 2000 years, in a wooden black lacquer scabbard, yet when they pulled it out the blade wasn't tarnished at all and was still sharp. These are the sorts of things I find more beautiful than anything else in the world.

>> ^thegrimsleeper:
Oh and doesn't everybody have this one person on Facebook that spends way to much time playing Farmville?


I have four, what's your count?

Japanese Hentai video game "Real Kanojo" benchmark and demo
Wow. I've seen some of Illusions earlier games, but this takes the uncanny valley factor to new heights. This is more a turn off than a turn on. Especially the bloom is annoying.

Well, at least you're not raping junior high girls like in some of their other games.

Bright green meteor fall caught on CCTV camera
I just love the way those things can turn night into day for a small instant.

Swype > iPhone typing
>> ^rosser99:
BS. I am not by a long shot what anyone would consider a texting junkie, and I was able to keep strict pace with the Swype phone. When you use the iPhone's automatic period system (hit space bar twice), it saves a lot of key strokes that they were using in this demo, not to mention an iPhone typer who was deliberately laborious and slow.


True, I was easily able to keep up and was actually faster using my Nokia 5800. Still, seems like a pretty good system, will most likely be much faster for some people.

High energy independent anime production
The character design isn't that great, but I wish the animation of every series was at least this quality. Nice.

Homophobic Christian Whines About Getting Fired
It's the "so-called lesbian fiancé", "so-called gay marriage" and "percieved as legal" that bother me most. She IS her lesbian fiancé, it IS a gay marriage, and it is not percieved as legal, it IS legal. Damn.

Oh, and fuck political correctness. There.

Cute Girl Plays Flute Hero
>> ^ctrlaltbleach:
Hmm matters not what octave you use.


Yeah, some people just can't reach the higher or lower octaves needed to sing it like in the original, this is the easy way to help with that. Few people have the vocal range to sing every song in these games spot on.

What if Matrix was shot in the silent films era?
Much better than I was expecting. Rather good actually.

Quick-Peel An Egg
Hmm, that wouldn't work with my usual boiled eggs, the shell really sticks on. Thankfully I have an egg cooker now, and the eggs almost jump out of the shells by themselves.

The Website is Down - Sales Demolition
This... This reminds me of my days in tech support. Though I was only a temp so I didn't get to do all that remote manipulation, but the... let's say "customers" brought up horrible memories. That reminds me, I still have generic admin passes on every computer over there and my own admin account is still probably valid...

Also, loved the "fake a virus attack". Classic.

Misirlou ('Pulp Fiction' theme) on guitar, with pencils
>> ^tsquire1:
ah, the 'ol pencil tremolo, proving that the guitar is technically a percussive instrument, not a string instrument.


The guitar is most definitely a string instrument, but like the piano, it's also a percussive instrument. There's no reason it can't be both. The definition of "string instrument" doesn't really have anything to do with how the strings are vibrated, just that the sound is generated by them.

If you get the joke in this, it probably means you are old
I didn't even try to start playing this video until it had completely loaded, would have had to buffer about 30 times if I had tried. And I'm on broadband. And yeah, though we didn't have youtube in those days I remember how horrible Real was. And speaking of crappy streaming video systems, does anyone remember vivo? =)

And noticed that the kitty video is from a Finnish user. Didn't expect that.
