No Slomo.

After 'Cats Doing Hilarious Things', the most popular subset of videos is probably 'Slow Motion Footage Of Cool Shit'. They're pretty cool but when you've seen one, you've seen 'em all, right? Waterballoon popping. Bullet penetration. Been there, done that.

Well, have you seen Lawnmower vs Creme Fraiche? How about Coke vs Chainsaw? Wrecking ball vs Red Cabbage? Yeah, that's what I thought. So shut up and watch this:



Booyah.

Badum Tish.

Just a quick one today,
How does a cymbal react to being struck?

Turns out, it's more extreme than you'd think. Check it out:

Slow On The Uptake.

Evening.
I'm back from Prague. The half marathon went well and it's a delightful city. There may well be a blog post in it when I get some photos, but for now I'd like to share a video with you.

I'm pretty much a sucker for anything cool filmed in slow motion, there's some great footage out there taken on high speed cameras that blows my mind. I could show you the water balloon exploding in slo-mo, or the bullet going through things schtick, but you've seen that already.

Here's something a lot more restrained. It's footage of jugglers, unicyclists and other assorted ball manipulators *ahem*. Circus skills, essentially but sloooooooooow.

Check it:



Nice.

Wide Load.

So hey, remember how I keep banging on about making some changes to the layout of the blog to enable me to embed widescreen youtube videos? Well after months of slaving over a hot CSS, I've done it. Don't tell me you didn't notice the difference as soon as you walked in here. Oh yeah, it took a real man to fix this place up...

Alright so all I did is change two numbers. How many numbers have you changed lately? That's what I thought. Those extra 100 pixels in width are going to change my life.

Ok, I need a video to demonstrate this brave new world. Something epic. Something with explosions, maybe. Or slow-motion...

Wait, do I dare to dream of a video that contains BOTH?



BAM, best 100 pixels I ever spent.
