This epic voice cover of Nirvana’s Heart-Shaped Box blew me away

Kawehi is an awesome singer and musician, capable of creating pieces like this cover of Nirvana’s Heart-Shaped Box.

Watch a 200-mile-high volcano explosion on the surface of Io

Man, Jupiter’s moons are a lot cooler than ours. The spacecraft New Horizons captured this gigantic exploding volcano on its moon Io, the most volcanically active body in the solar system. It seems crazy to see something so far away captured in such detail. The explosion and its 200-mile-high plume happened back in 2007, but…

The $300 Action Movie

Director/writer Michael Ashton took $300 and an obvious understanding of cinema basics and special effects and made this 12-minute short film called Lazy Teenage Superheroes. It’s quite impressive!
