Dogs aren’t very good at concealing their crimes, they can’t help but look totally guilty when their owners come home to discover pillows from the couch torn to shreds, or their favorite pair of shoes chewed to bits.
They’re well aware that the lawn logs are about to hit the fan as soon as their owners walk in the door, and the anticipatory look on their faces as they prepare to receive their punishment is priceless.
This short but hilariously sweet clip is brought to you by America's Funniest Home Videos, who invite you to figure out- which dog is guilty of the crime?
The Oculus Rift virtual reality headgear is supposed to be used as a force for good- better gaming and entertainment experiences and, in some instances, a way for people to undergo immersion therapy and have their lives improved by the experience, but before VR can do good it’s inevitably going to take a turn for the worse.
That bad turn, it seems, begins at Chuck E. Cheese's, who have announced plans to integrate the oculus rift in with the rest of their cringe worthy pizza madhouse.
Here’s what Chuck has in store for the young’ns-
Birthday parties booked during the six–week test in the three markets will offer the Birthday Star a turn in the virtual Ticket Blaster. The headset uses 360–degree head-tracking technology and features a 3D view so users feel as though they are inside the Ticket Blaster with Chuck E. During the experience, the headset will register the number of tickets collected, which will be fully redeemable at the merchandise counter.
Nothing says congratulations on your graduation day quite like a cake…okay, there are much better things to give graduates than a future case of Type 2 diabetes like cash, a year’s supply of Top Ramen, or someone else’s platinum card, but it seems like people will find any excuse to celebrate with a cake.
It’s one of those traditions that will be hard to break , but we can probably nip the whole cake for every occasion trend in the bud if people keep receiving cakes covered in misspellings, icing globs in unsettling shapes and sentiment fails like "Got 'Er Done!" and "Well Job Done!"
A recently unearthed audio recording from the "Hobbit Dinner", which took place in Rotterdam in 1958, finds Tolkien reading excerpts from The Hobbit as Bilbo, reading a poem in Elvish, and celebrating the love his fans have for Tolkien's tales of Middle Earth. And if that isn't enough to make Tolkien fans go squee he also set the records straight on the true meaning of The Lord Of The Rings.
Here's how this amazing audio recording came to see the light of day:
This reel-to-reel tape was discovered in 1993 by a Dutchman named René van Rossenberg, a Tolkien expert who owns a shop in the Netherlands devoted to all things Middle-earth (TolkienShop.com). Why didn't van Rossenberg show it to anybody until now?
"Like Smaug I am guarding my treasure, hissing at any collector who comes near," he recently stated in response to my email query. Fortunately, a Middle-earth maven named Jay Johnstone, one of the founders of the fantasy/sci-fi site Legendarium.me, sleuthed that van Rossenberg had the recording in his possession, and persuaded him to open his dragon hoard.
Fordite/Detroit Agate looks like a magical stone from some fantasy kingdom, and those who come across bits of it must feel like they’ve just missed a meeting with a leprechaun, because the colorful striped stones have an out-of-this-world brilliance, but the truth is Fordite isn’t a precious stone at all.
These striped rainbow colored stones are a byproduct of the automotive industry, chunks of paint buildup which are removed from car painting racks and tumbled like precious stones.
Here’s how these wondrous stones are created:
Before the car painting process was automated like it is now, automotive bodies were painted by hand on long production lines. The vehicles’ paint would drip off and dry on the equipment used to move the automotive bodies. This enamel paint would then get baked onto the rack and solidify. After this process is repeated hundreds or thousands of times, the deposits can grow to be several inches thick.
Enterprising workers who recognized their potential value chipped off these waste products and saved them to be turned into jewelry later. When these stones are ground down and polished, they reveal a dazzling array of colors.
DIY fanatics like myself consider Adam Savage (of Mythbusters fame) to be one of the gods of DIY.
The man can build really cool stuff out of a pile of random stuff, and his diverse skillset, knowledge of materials, and boundless imagination make him an inspiration for crafty folks the world over, so when he shared his 10 Commandments For Makers at the 2014 Maker Faire in San Francisco people paid attention.
Among Adam’s shining bits of advice are these two gems:
4. Use a project to learn a skill. I don't know about you but I need a goal to learn a skill. I can't deconstruct and just learn welding for welding's sake. I need to have something that only welding will bring me. Look around and find something you need to build. Something you can't help but build.
7. Discouragement and failure are intrinsic to the process. Don't hide from these. Talk about them. They're not enemies to be avoided, they're friends, designed to teach your humility. Go easy on yourself. Don't compare yourself to others; go ahead and be envious of others' skills, because frequently you can't not. Use that.
The video clocks in at a whopping 43 minutes, but if you’re only interested in hearing Adam’s sage advice you’re in luck, because you only have to watch the first ten minutes of the video to have your DIY life changed forever!
Riding the subway can be an extremely surreal affair, with a cast of characters that changes nightly and a prevailing chaos factor in the air that can really get under your skin, and when you ride the train all the time you end up with some fun stories to tell.
Putting all that train talk aside for a minute, On The Subway by Mike Geiger has very little to do with an urban transit system subway and has more to do with riding that strange subway car of life, or some such new agey mumbo jumbo.
It's a cartoon short, ladies and gentlemen, drawn in a style reminiscent of John K. of Ren & Stimpy fame, so peel back your eyelids and prepare for some ocular magic!
You can tell the age of a cauliflower head by the length of their leaves, and the fullness of the white curd that makes up their main head, the specimen featured in this video appears to be about thirty seven years old.
His name is Caracol, and according to his creator Giuseppe Tomba "We are living in a strange period of time and Caracol has arrived to give us the answers."
It appears we have only two options to avoid this rough(age) future- stop eating vegetables right away, or eat all the vegetables we can get our hands on and wipe them out before they rise up against us all!
Photographers generally choose to keep themselves out of their own pictures, and those who choose to shoot self portraits generally shoot them in a controlled/studio setting.
These are not those kind of self portraits, and Kerry Skarbakka is not one of those behind-the-lens kind of photographers. Kerry prefers to keep his portraiture dangerous, and full of motion, putting himself in harm’s way in order to capture a perfectly fleeting moment as he falls off of cliffs, trees, ladders, and even slips in the shower.
It's hard to look through Kerry's photo series Struggle To Right Oneself without wincing a little, and certain falls in the past come to mind that make me glad nobody was there to capture the moment with a pic!
The gluttonous, pellet chomping ghost slayer known as Pac-Man has just celebrated his 34th birthday, and boy has he come a long way from the days of arcade mania and nightly news reporters claiming that arcades are corrupting the youth.
This hilarious collection of hard hitting journalistic exposés from 1982 was put together by victim of Pac-Man Fever Patrick Scott Patterson, and it's chock full of bold reporters attempting to describe what exactly is going on when you play a game of Pac-Man, and timely interviews showing some 80s youths getting their pellet gobblin' game on.
"Yellow creature gobbles dots while being pursued through maze by monsters" Sounds like Pac-Man to me!
There’s something about Camila Valdez's sculptural creations that reminds me of a dream I once had, a dream that quickly turned into a nightmare, a dream that taught me never to eat sweets before bed...
Camila creates human scale fiberglass sculptures of desserts with legs, anthropomorphic sweets which somehow succeed in having a personality despite their lack of facial features or any kind of face at all. Her delicious works are a big hit in her native Argentina, and those who attend gallery showings of her works are encouraged to interact with the sculptures by changing their clothes, although biting is strictly forbidden.
Donuts and cupcakes running around town may look like a pleasant enough scene, but what happens when these fleet footed treats develop a taste for human flesh?!
Now that Pendleton Ward has brought his animated fantasy series Adventure Time to the small screen it’s hard to imagine a world without Finn and Jake protecting the Candy Kingdom from the likes of Lemongrab and the Ice King, and fans of the show know episodes often play out like a kid oriented version of an RPG like Dungeons & Dragons.
Therefore it should come as no surprise that Pendleton Ward often plays, and runs, his own RPG sessions, and his initial idea for Adventure Time came from the fact that "Ward and his friends don't game as much as they'd like."
What is surprising, however, is that his latest RPG is being played out via Twitter, and the general public is invited to play along.
Here's how it works:
Go to the Quest Attack Twitter, and fire off some commands. If Ward likes what he sees, he’ll draw the results.
Oh, did we mention you have to write it out “text adventure” style, as in “Use sword on gnome”? It’s that kind of game. Ward can “pause” the game whenever he feels like it, but users have to unpause to keep moving forward.
The most important element to being an intergalactic celebrity is your own personal sense of style, and when you've got it you gotta flaunt it baby, 'cause super green is hot hot hot!
