Mozart Wine Bottle Player
Got an early video for you today. I accidentally hit the Stumble button this morning and had this pop up in my browser. Thought it was fun, nothing like a little Mozart to start your day.

Leatherman Factory Tour
There have been occasions when a Leatherman or two has gotten me out of a tight spot when I was out camping or fishing. I don't use one as often anymore since I don't go camping as often. Maybe in the spring with my son being older we will go more often. Always wondered how they were made, now I know.

I am sure there is some explaination for how this helicoptor can fly with out its blades turning, but you have to admit it looks cool.

The Real Reason the International Space Station was Built
Most people probably think the International Space Station was built to conduct highly sophisticated complicated experiments. If only that were true. This video shows the real reason the International Space Station was built, to discover if boomarangs work in space!

Catapulting Cars
This would be really fun to see in person. I can think of some of my old cars that I wouldn't mind tossing like that.

Tigger Turning the Lights Off
Why can't I train my cats to do this? Heck forget the cats, when are the kids going to learn how to do this? Maybe the cats would be easier to teach? Good thing my kids can't read yet.

Absolut Quartet
The things people come up with. I can't even begin to describe this, so I will give you some of the description and hopefully it makes sense.
There is a website associated with the video but it is sponsored by Absolut vodka so if you are under the age of majority (kids that means you) you need your parents. It does not work for me on my Linux computer becuase I have an older version of flash. I am going to give it a try with my Windows machine and see what it is all about. Visit the YouTube page by clicking the video for the link to the website.
As seen in the beginning of the video, the visitor to the site enters a melody on their computer keyboard. The machine then uses this melody to generate an original and unique 2 1/2 minute piece of music. The web visitor also receives a link to a webcam video of their piece being played.

Tipping Pot (Guinness Spoof)
The title says this is a Guinness Spoof, but I have never seen the original ad, so I have to take their word for it. It is fun to watch. Nothing like seeing a whole lot of stuff tip over like dominoes. My son loved this video. He got some dominoes for Christmas and sets them up and knocks them over all the time. We keep trying to tell him that dominoes are a game but he does not care. Don't blame him. Watching them fall down is a lot of fun.

Traffic pole vs Truck
Now you know that you should avoid driving into those traffic poles. Now I know why I saw them around the US Embassy. Need to stop a truck with explosives, that will do it.

21 Accents
Nothing like becoming famous over night on the Internet. She does a great job, from what I can tell, of the 21 accents. Does the Toronto accent really sound like that? I suppose we all sound like hicks from here in Saskatchewan. I wonder if there is a large difference between accents from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba?
From the description of the video:
From the description of the video:
Amy Walker does a little tour of 21 accents in 2 1/2 minutes. From the UK and Ireland to Italy, Germany, Czech Republic, Russia, France, Australia, New Zealand, and around North America.

Fainting Goats
You learn something new everyday. I never knew there was such a thing as fainting goats. You never see these guys at the zoo. Probably a good thing, the kids would stand there and scare the poor animals all day long.

Best Rotating Pictures Illusion
You have to love how the mind works. It takes information and does its best to assemble it into something that makes sense. This video shows how easy it is for the mind to take the same picture and get two different images out of them. Very neat.

Cruise Ship Car Horn
You will know if this guy is behind you. I wonder how many noise bylaws he breaks by pressing his horn. Notice in the video he appears to be out in the middle of nowhere. That is probably for a reason.

Japanese Human Art - Why Is My Girlfriend Mad
Thanks to Darlene over at Blog on the Side for sending me this great video. This video is similar to the Matrix Ping Pong video that was very popular. It think this one is better because you can't see the guys in black as much, but perhaps I have said too much.

How Toilet Paper is Made
You know you wanted to know how it was done, be honest. I know I always wondered how they did it. I only have one question. What do they do with the little bit on either end of the roll that they cut off? Do they recycle it to make more toilet paper? Watch close when the large toilet paper roll is being cut and you will know what I am talking about.

Netcosm Network Monitoring Clip
The geek in me just can't help but like watching this. It actually makes monitoring a network look like fun. It can't see my using this but it could probably come in handy for those bigger networks.
Anatomy of a Slashdot Post -- NetQoS Netcosm
This is a great video of what a server undergoing the Slashdot effect (or Digg effect if your a Digger). You have to love the server that is setting there in flames. Nothing like having a server go up in flames.Labels: interesting

Paddling Excavator
It is not very often you see something like this. I hope that the reason they are doing this is because they had engine trouble and this is not how they usually move the barge.
