You're looking at Uptown Manhattan from 7 World Trade Center.
I took this with my iPhone 4 as a panorama which you can see in all it's glory via the link below.
Can’t tell if Jean Claude Van Damme is actually strong or just mocking former self…but it’s moving either way.
In May or June of this year he has an actual kickboxing fight vs. Kamsing.
PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT
Have you seen the commercial for the asthma medicine Dulera lately? If you have, you’re no doubt intrigued. Gentle breezes, jungle animals, ocean views…AND THAT MUSIC!
The gentle piano riff that transports you right in the middle of tropical paradise. (Only to be shook back into reality by Guy Fieri on another episode of “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives”)
Who crafted such beautiful music?
The only video that exists online of this elusive commercial is this raw footage someone captured and put on Youtube.
The National Museum of American History just posted some incredible videos as a Youtube playlist.
They’ve managed to come across late 1800′s recordings from Alexander Graham Bell’s Washington D.C. Volta Laboratory.
The records were too fragile to simply play on a turntable and instead advanced imaging was used to detect the sounds. You’re about to hear some of the earliest human recorded voice ever!
Definitly check out the entire playlist here:

In the 90s, if you were a kid and had the family video camera at your disposable, you put it to incredible use.
I filmed everything from myself skateboarding to throwing GI-JOE’s on a string out the window.
Oh, and what kid didn’t love being able to palm and slam dunk a basketball? Albeit, the ball was 1/2 the size and the hoop was usually attached via suction cups, but come on! We were emulating the best.
Well, thanks to Youtube user srt317‘s brother…you can re-live someone else in that time.
Watch this hilarious trip down 90′s memory lane:
Wired posted some awesome time-lapse videos of the night sky today.
These are remarkably beautiful and yet sort of bone-chilling at the same time (Especially this one by Randy Halverson on Vimeo)
Amazing to think that this happens right above us but goes by mostly unnoticed…
What you just watched, is THE FIRST self-leveling pool table at sea.
It lives aboard the Royal Carribean’s “Raddiance of the Seas” cruise liner.
It works via an internal gyroscope that keeps the table horizontal…that and pure magic.
I’ll be honest, I don’t know much about the iCEnhancer “mod” other than a few videos/screenshots I saw of version 1.0 many moons ago.
It took the original PC version of Grand Theft Auto 4 and turned the graphics up to 11.
Creator Ice La Glace has announced the 2.0 release…and the screenshots are re-blowing my mind. The detail of NYC is tremendous. The cars, the roads, every environment looks to good to be true.
OBSERVE:
If you’re computer is able to handle it…(A BIG IF)…then download it now via: http://icelaglace.com/
This post is to thank Youtube user ‘mkdevo’ for his contributions to live music.
His attention to quality and detail while on Phish tour leave you skipping the couch for his uploads the next morning.
I’m happy to see he managed to hit Primus in NYC as well:
Buzzfeed posted this great list today of 25 Videos of Goths Dancing During the Daytime.
It’s 110% worthy of your viewing, so go check it out now.
If you don’t you’ll be missing hilarious gems like the one below:
Just when I thought It was going to be a lame year for movies they go and release this…
…AND TOTALLY REDEEM MOVIES!
A real, actual, seriously-happening-in-this-reality, movie is being made about the zombie of Osama Bin Laden coming back.
It’s currently in post-production and stars…absolutely no one you’ve ever heard of.
Osombie on IMDB – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2141875/
The trailer looks…oh just watch it…
Heard “My Girls” on WFUV the other day.
Got me going back through their other stuff.
“Lion In A Coma” is currently what I’m jamming too.
This video for it was put together by artist Ori Toor and you should watch it…NOW!
A final project made by Ori Toor at the Shenkar School of Engineering and Design – Illustration department.
A stream of consciousness animation for the song “Lion in a Coma” by Animal collective (taken from the awesome “Merriweather Post Pavilion” album released by domino records).
Frame by frame animation in flash. No script, no planning ahead.
