So here’s someone who finds a shark and decides that trying to hand feed it is a good idea. Lucky to walk away from this. Having the video just makes it better.

Slow Motion Hard Drive
Here’s a cool video of a hard drive in slow motion. Even better when they throw some water on it. Drives move really quickly, 7,200 RPM’s is faster than the engine of most vehicles. Think about that. Crank video up to 1080p and put it in full screen.

10,000 Volts For Science
Matt Inman aka “The Oatmeal” zaps Matt Harding aka “Where the Hell is Matt” with 10,000 volt Tesla cannon. And yes, he’s doing the “Where the Hell is Matt Dance”.
This is what the internet is about.

I always loved Dana Carvey doing his George Bush impersonation when growing up. Cool to see George Bush himself has a sense of humor about it.

Go-around
There’s video of an Air France A340 (guessing it’s an A340) performing a go-around at Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM), St. Maarten.
I suspect it’s wasn’t really the result of Hurricane Isaac, despite occurring when the storm was in the area and the video title suggesting. There’s nothing in the video to suggest wind was impacting the yaw or roll of the aircraft. The sea isn’t churning like the winds were really whipping.
As far as I’m aware, SXM doesn’t have ILS like many commercial airports. That makes things slightly more difficult in terms of establishing a glide slope (GS). The runway is 7,546 ft, not that short, however I’d bet the airline wants planes to attempt to touchdown earlier to allow for less reverse thrusters and save fuel in this economy. Especially for a larger plane like the A340 which will be burning a ton of fuel to climb out of that airport and get around those mountains. The go-around was likely the result of a slightly to steep GS. Ironically resulting in more fuel being burnt going around. Not terribly uncommon.
That’s my theory.

You’ll love this gem from Korea. This might be one of the most ridiculous fitness products since the shake weight.

Mr. Wizard’s A Dick
Yes it’s out of context, and he wasn’t really mean (but he wasn’t as soft as TV hosts are today). I still thought this is pretty funny. It’s probably not a shock to anyone who reads this blog, but I loved Mr. Wizard’s show growing up. Later on I also really enjoyed Bill Nye. I’m betting I saw most of these episodes at one point or another.

90’s Bedroom
The language in this video may be NSFW.
This guy went all out in recreating the 90’s in his bedroom. It’s quite accurate and funny given how silly this stuff looks in 2012. It may also make you feel a little old if you remember it all.
