From the archives: No Mas Presents: Dock Ellis & The LSD No-No by James Blagden

This video is nuts! It depicts the day that Dock Ellis threw a no hitter with a head full of acid.

200 Years, 200 Countries in 4 Minutes

Interesting visualization of health, income, and population over the last 200 years.

Bear vs. Cat

For the record, my stereotype of Russia definitely includes people keeping baby bears as pets.

HT: The Awl

House For Radio?

This golden-throated man is homeless. Watch the video and listen to him speak. That is seriously a gift/talent greater than any gift or talent than the average person possesses. Kind of sobering that he still wound up homeless.



HT and full write-up at Midwest sports fans.

Annoying dude, interesting insight

I could do without this Hans character's accent/enthusiasm, but this appears to be his idea of a good time and his commentary adds value. Two interesting things to look out for...try to follow Japan once it is identified at the 2:08 mark (just prior to The Deuce) and then re-identified at 2:34 (1948). Do the same with China starting at 2:46 through the end. Like a beach ball.

I would also like to see the breakdown of the US by state similar to what Hans does with China at the end. I bet it's pretty uncomfortable.

Sweet Video Of Metrodome Collapse

Cat Versus Gator

I really wanted to see a cat get mangled by a gator.

Dogs Are Awesome

Awesome Dogs doing awesome things.

There are two types of people in the world: Those who like Neil Diamond and those who don't

CRASH LOVES NEIL DIAMOND. Minute 2:30 is one of my favorite lines

Danny MacAskill "Way Back Home"

My buddy emailed me this today and said it would fit well on the blog. It certainly does. The video showcases MacAskill performing absurd stunts across various locations in Scotland. Impressive all around. Thanks JBros for sending this along.

People are talented

Some physically, some in the video editing room. I know some of these aren't real and that others have been seen on their own in this blog, but this video is a cool compilation.

Washed Out - "Hold Out"

Ernest Greene looks to be having a pretty sweet time.

This is one of the coolest videos ever

My favorite is the Goshawk, starting at 1:52. Enjoy.

What if You Could Score Your Moves while Skiing/Snowboarding?

Nokia and Burton have mashed together some technology that lets skiers and snowboarders track their real moves. It makes a lot more sense after you watch the video...

Excellent series of time lapses from the Bay Area

Arcade Fire Interactive Video

Yesterday, Arcade Fire released an interactive video from their latest album "The Suburbs."

If you have Chrome (Google's Browser) than you can take full advantage of the video. You start out by putting in your hometown address and the site takes over from there. It uses varies windows inside of the browser to show traditional video content and other windows to show Google Map views of the address you entered. Part way through the song you can also add text about your hometown to leave as advice for future generations. All of the various containers interact with each other giving a unique experience connected to images you recognize.

Overall, it is much different experience than just watching a video. Thanks to Arcade Fire for some cool experimentation and actually making a video that takes advantage of the medium.

This Dog Is More Talented Than Your Dog

Dog and man dancing Merengue.



That dog is a very talented dancer, and clearly well-trained, but the dance did creep me out a bit too.

Video From The "Glad I'm Not There" File

A tornado of fire. Wow!

Cool timelapse from AZ/CA deserts (watch without sound)
