time lapse – Tacky Raccoons

[Found here, here and here.]

BTW, I had a dream last night where I’d stitched together every .gif I’ve ever posted into one that took hours to download and view. It was entirely awesome.

The .Gif Friday Post No.335 – BONOMNOMNOM, Slime Mold & Mudskipper Eyes

[Found here, here and here. Yeah, I messed with the first one.]

The .Gif Post No. 319 – Transitions, T-Turn & Speedo Beach

[Found here, here and here.]

The .Gif Friday Post No. 263 – Rotation

[First .gifs found here. I rotated them and paired ’em up. The other two were from a site that’s NSFW/NSFK, but…

Due to almost-unforseen circumstances, I’m posting this from an annoyingly un-tweaked mouse-less laptop, and I don’t have my bookmarks handy to link to it. My ailing desktop is going in for surgery tomorrow.

[Update: Surgery failed, can’t fix a broken motherboard. You read that right. Not malfunctioning. Broken. I broke it. I broke a motherboard.

Adam’s Electronics swapped me a refurbished model, over and above the quality of service expected. They are beyond the valley of awesome.]

Eventually we’ll get around to posting vids just for The Squeamish, but until then, have a great weekend folks. See you back here tomorrow, assuming you’re not squeamish.

Saturday Matinee – Space Night, John Prine, Walk Off The Earth, Cowboy Mouth & Rick Danko

Inspired by a version of the opening sequence of this clip called ‘What does it feel like to fly over planet Earth?’, I tracked down the original time-lapse sequence taken on the International Space Station (ISS) via NASA, found some additional ones there, including the spectacular Aurora Australis sequences, and set it to a soundtrack that almost matches the awe and wonder I feel when I see our home from above.

Time lapse of Earth at night is VERY cool.

For all the haole napo’opo’o here, John Prine‘s “Let’s Talk Dirty In Hawaiian” fills in the gaps.

Walk Off The Earth performs The Beatles‘ “From Me To You.”

Cowboy Mouth Rocks the House. From the Utoobage comments:

part theater, part revival, part frat party, part mardi gras. you will be forever changed after a CM show, whether fred sprays you with sweat, tosses you a drum stick, snarls-smiles, exhorts you to leap, sing or get down. its a jolt of energy. you wont need caffeine for days.
