These Spinning GIFs Are Just Great

I love, love, LOVE these spinning animated GIFs, made by a group of friends in Japan. The premise is simple: make a short animation that involves revolving anything on its vertical axis. All of them are great, but the finger above wins. Rice cooker or R2-D2? Freaky freaky. Even freakier. Check out the rest at…

The Hugest, Most Verbose, and Least Grammatical Cache of Spam Comments, Ever

Cory Doctorow, co-editor of BoingBoing, hit the motherload of all spam motherloads this morning, when he woke up to find some nitwit had visited his personal WordPress site and dumped a giant, rambling post of every SEO spam comments in their database. Oops! Reading it straight through you will feel at first mild amusement, then…

Watch This: POV Footage of Pilot’s Crash Landing Proves a Valuable Learning Tool

Larry Hockensmith—a licensed power pilot for over 40 years, but still a student glider pilot—was flying over the Cleveland National Forest, a few miles southwest of Lake Elsinore, CA, when he executed a rather dramatic and unfavorable outlanding, effectively “totaling” his Schweizer 1-26 sailplane, valued at $8,500. The entire event was captured in eery, HD…

This Week’s Top Web Comedy Video: The Dark Knight and ’60s Robin

Some things were meant to go together: Fried chicken and waffles. Leprechauns and rainbows. Batman and Robin. Well, actually, wait a minute. Not that last one anymore. The brooding Bruce Wayne of today doesn’t quite mesh with the punny sidekick of the 60s—unless you’re in the mood to laugh your ass off. The rest of…

Toys Playing with Toy-Size Apple Gadgets Will Make You Either Sneer or Coo

Toys playing with their own overly-engineered, brand-name, Apple gadgets is what could probably be called—quite accurately—the pinnacle of pretension. Still, anything made miniature is automatically cool. And these tiny iPods, iPads, iPhones, and MacBooks are no exception. Not even when Woody from Toy Story is posed with a doll-size iPhone to look like he’s Instagramming…

The Blue Angels 2012 performances are in celebration of the centennial…

What Horrible Web Browsers Do Your Parents Use?

Google is doing something interesting at Best Buy stores that seems positively ass backwards: they’re giving away copies of their Chrome browser on CD. What is this?! 1998?!
