Saturday Matinee – Serious Beer Taps, JesiErin, Santana & Benson,

Pure brilliance. Watch the vid first, because there’s more info about it below. Cheers!

JesiErin is a one-girl a capella doo-wop group from Huntington Beach, California, and the dubbing, both audio and video are top notch. Here’s her take on The Cascades1962 hit.


George Benson & Carlos Santana on “The Midnight Special” in 1976 playing Benson’s “Breezin’.”

The beer-plumbing prank video was filmed in NZ and sponsored by Tui Beer as stealth advertising, yet it was a genuine prank by a bunch of friends of the “victim.” Some folks on Reddit busted it as an advert (the comments are funny) and it’s still an awesome prank.

Word on the street is that Aussies and Kiwis don’t bother with Foster’s (it’s for tourists and export) but there are unwritten rules about which beer you order, and it varies by region. They have beer allegiances (like rabid sports fans do with teams in the US) so if you order the wrong one in the wrong place, you may be headed for trouble. A credible source told me that if you go to Oz, order Toohey’s and you may avoid a situation like this.

Have a great weekend, and we’ll see you back here tomorrow.

Nothing much happened today.

The Day Gravity Changed

TILT 2

Except for rotating and cropping the image and enhancing the colors, that’s not a photo shop. The original image [below the break] is even more bizarre. Continue reading “The Day Gravity Changed”

The .Gif Friday Post No. 298 – Juggling Machine, Lego WTF & Nano Motor

Juggling Machine
Steampunk Lego WTF

nano motor

[Found here, here, and here.]

What fascinates me about nano motors is that the moving parts are molecules, so they never wear out. I’d assumed that they are also friction-free, but apparently that’s not the case. More here.

Everybody’s Heard About The Hot Links

I Am A Bird. DEAL WITH IT

This is kinda cool. Interactive Twist Again [via].

I love the name of this experimental project: The Slingatron.

Never heard of guard llamas until a few days ago.

Very cool.

Oh, and about Syria? There’s this abbreviated version.

The Bird is The Word. Don’t you know about the bird?

P.S. Miami Marlin’s pitcher Jose Fernandez is pretty good at spearing ’em. Here’s another one from July.
