Some awesome video shot via Helmet Camera. P-40K, the FG-1D and the P-51D. I’d recommend watching full screen and 720p.

Simpsons Theme Vocal Cover
Amazing cover of The Simpsons theme song. This must have taken a lot of planning to break this all out.
Split Screen Bohemian Rhapsody
I can’t even begin to contemplate how many man hours went into this. He also released the unprocessed vocals. It’s always interesting to compare what someone sounds like before the technology takes over. Especially today. If you’re curious about the equipment, he’s got some info on his website.
Microwaves = Fun
Awesome little video of various things exploding in a microwave. I’ve always wanted to try the Ivory Soap one. Ivory allegedly has little air bubbles, which when in the microwave heat up causing the moisture to turn to gas. That causes it to expand and appear like a foam.

Jim Henson Robot for Bell System (Now AT&T)
This was made by Jim Henson for Bell System in 1963. The video notes:
It also may be the same robot that appeared on the Mike Douglas Show in 1966. Henson created a different — but similar — robot for the SKF Industries pavilion at the 1964 World’s Fair.
So essentially Elmo’s great grandfather is this Steampunk robot.
Big Mac Index Infographic
Online MBA has a great infographic about The Big Mac Index. It’s interesting how such a popular menu item can tell so much about the world economy.

Hey Ya!
The Blanks are best known as “Ted’s Band” on the TV show Scrubs. They are in fact a real life a cappella group. The above adaptation of Hey Ya! (originally by Outkast) was partially used in an episode at one point. It reminds me of this Mat Weddle of Obadiah Parker cover.
Related is The Blanks doing a cover of Superman (the Scrubs theme song).
I might like musical parodies a bit.
2012 Presidential Candidate Websites
Back in 2008 I did a special segment in my “Secrets In Websites” series for the 2008 Presidential Elections. It was quite popular (almost crashed the server). I decided to do it again, but slightly revised for 2012.
Taylor Swift Covers Eminem’s “Lose Yourself”
Taylor Swift did a cover of Eminem’s “Lose Yourself”. No word if she will be doing a Kanye West cover next.
I have a backlog of things to post here. I will catch up, I’m slacking. That will change. I’ve got plans.
