This is a Song

If you feel like wasting enjoying a few minutes, watch this video. If you want to waste enjoy even more time, turn on auto-captions and watch it again.

Yesterday was Friday, today it is Saturday

The girl that brought us Friday is back with a follow-up song: Saturday!!

If you haven't watched the Friday video yet, I'd suggest checking that out first; there are quite a few references to it in this video. (I think it's quite tragic that I noticed most of them)

A fun little something to pass the time:

Colouring Between the Lines on a Plane

Fred Giovannitti, a tattoo artist from Delaware, got bored on a plane and decided to colour a drawing from his 4-year-old.

Isn't he kind of, technically, stealing someone else's work? Still like it, though.

See the rest here!

Oh Yeah!

So I finished watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off a few minutes ago; I have watched it before, this wasn't my first time. If you haven't watched it yet, I'd highly recommend it. It is one of those "kind of classic" movies that you just need to watch to say that you've watched it. It featured that annoying "Oh yeah" song thing, which has also been used by quite a few movies and series, but why? I personally find it quite annoying: I therefore decided to Google it.

Everyone probably knows all of this already, but it's new to me, so I'm writing this post about it anyway. Ain't no one be stoppin' me!

The song is literally called "Oh Yeah", a single released in 1985 by the Swiss band Yello. (Thank you, Wikipedia!) It was first featured in above-mentioned movie, and has since been associated with anything "hot" or desirable.

It also has a music video, and to my surprise, some lyrics other than "Oh Yeah". I know, right!? I was not expecting that either. Here are the lyrics, for anyone wanting to sing along:

Oh yeah... oh yeah... oh yeah
The moon... beautiful
The sun... even more beautiful
Oh yeah... oh yeah... oh yeah

Beautiful
Oh yeah... oh yeah...

Absurdly poetic, as is the video. Never has the sun and moon been described more accurately or vividly.

Enjoy.

Gravity Visualised

A longish video on a weighty matter (hehe... get it? Fine, whatever.) Quite interesting though: not only the topic, but also the presentation.

Giant Spider Puppet

Giant air-powered spider puppet: This would make for an interesting Halloween costume.

High-Speed Strings: Video Trickery Creates Wobbly Slow Motion Effect

This brief clip demonstrates what happens when you film an upright bass while synchronizing the vibration of the strings with the frame rate of the camera. The resulting video makes it appear as though the musician is playing in slow motion when the video is actually playing at normal speed, not unlike the effect of a strobe light.
