    I was thinking, what happened to this guy? I loved his videos. He posted one dated about a year ago from Japan in which he indicated losing a lot of Cleveland content on a corrupted hard drive. He and

Tyson's becoming that guy whom if interviewed on Christmas Eve, would patronizingly explain how Santa Claus is impossible.

^ gee i wonder, do you think tyson's gotten much sleep lately? :roll: he was totally punch drunk. colbert, also no stranger to patronizing, was phoning it in too, yet it was still pretty funny.

The new sound of the '80s... Rappin' to the beat!

 

 

You know, when I think old school rap, I always think of Hugh 'Get' Downs.

 

 

thumbs up to arbys for having a sense of humor in wishing jon stewart and the daily show goodbye:

Why can't our national anthem be more like this? (but it brings back bad memories of trying to memorize it in 9th grade French class :-( ) Never thought I'd see the day when the French would take the lead in fighting terrorism!

15min of video of wandering around the east village in june, 1986, when you could randomly bump into dee-lite, but not venture past ave. a lol!

that's great! I miss the old East Village, before it became Yuppie & Bro Hell. Since so much of the video took place at the intersection of Ave A & 7th St. here's what it looks like now-

 

SE corner--Niagara Bar has become a real hotspot (or at least it used to be, as it's been there for years now). Jimmy Fallon was in a brawl there last year. And another hideous yuppie apt building going up where it says "100AveA.com". Before that it was a Korean greengrocer, and decades ago the building was a movie theater--

SW corner--Miss Lily's was a burrito place for the longest time, but don't remember the previous incarnation; and notice the ummm...rather distinct second floor clad in that beautiful siding. I hope they never change that! lol

NE corner--Tompkins Sq Park

NW corner--this place, Yuca Bar, was for years an old time Polish restaurant (can't remember the name)--

^With the first camcorders people would keep the camera running for 10-20 minutes without a real idea of what to be taping. They would get a little obnoxious with camera angles and surprise people with the camera.  You don't see people doing that at all anymore with cell phone cameras.  And I can't remember the last time I saw anyone taping any kind of family or kids' social event with a hand-held camcorder, or just walking around as a tourist with one of them. 

 

This video from Los Angeles from the same era has an oddly similar vibe:

 

It's amazing to see how much money the record companies had back then.  Sky writing "Beastie Boys" just for an afternoon album release party?!

^About one-half of a real-time mid-October passage on New York City's Roosevelt Island Tram, mirrored horizontally. The sound is directly from the source footage, with added echo, reverb, and pitchshifting.

They're digging 21-foot diameter tunnels for each single track right now in Seattle.  Meanwhile the Bertha highway tunnel is something like 55 feet for two 2-lane decks. 

 

The diameter has a lot to do with potential problems. For example, Seattle has had zero problems with the subway TBM and I believe their subway extension is going to open ahead of schedule as a result. On the other hand, the much larger TBM for their highway tunnel hit an obstacle and has been down for a year.

 

Speaking of Seattle's tunnel-boring machines:

I had no idea where to post this. It seems to cover myriad wacky pc categories, but the saddest part is how many kids would kill to get into a school like Oberlin. Hey, maybe the students who are so unhappy there should just drop out! I was just thinking, the person who once approved Michelle Malkin's admission has probably long since been fired lol

I'm an online subscriber to the NYT, and they recently sent me a Google Cardboard VR viewer to support their VR App. They have about a 10 minute 360 degree VR video of the New Horizons and the pics it has taken of Pluto, even using the data to recreate 'standing' on Pluto's surface. It is freaking amazing

One of many fantastic things about the Internet is that you don't have to waste your Saturday nights waiting for SNL to make a skit worthy of the golden age of SNL. All you have to do is wait for someone to share it with you

Stouffer’s Cincinnati Towers ... Nobody does it better.

Hopefully we can use that orchestral music to announce each stop too!

I was at Cedar Point a few weeks ago and had to deal with all of those "Full Tank of Freedom" ads everywhere and this song playing over the sound system and on the queue TVs.

Made this hyperlapse at Dixie National Forest in Utah. For whatever reason it turned out pretty bumpy, which is surprising because I've always gotten really smooth video from the Hyperlapse app before.
