Run a search for "Magnetic Liquid" on YouTube, and you'll find you'll come up with all sorts of freaky student projects. Filmed and posted for posterity--some include music scores-- you can watch as the laws of nature take over with this weird liquid that appears to have a life of its own, when taunted by magnets and prying eyes. Most of these clips are somewhat lengthly, but here's a quick show of how it works, if you don't want to sit through the longer, more artistic versions of these experiments, such as this one.Labels: Installation Art, Science, YouTube

If you're like me, you love to see fluid creativity in motion, but you may not be so adept at the programming side of things... enter, Sprout, "the quick and easy way to create sophisticated multi-media content". A user-friendly, pre-built WYSIWYG Flash programming claims to make Flash programming easy and breezy. Here's the Youtube video.
An elaborate illusion: these guys spent time (and probably money) to paint the picture of a piece of paper on the wall, so as to fool their buddy into thinking it was a real piece of paper.

Handy. That's all I can say.
How many times a week, in Facebook, do I get asked to join a virtual snowball fight, or perhaps get involved in a Vampires chase, become a zombie, grow a garden, care for an aquarium, and on and on and on?... Most of the time, I add the applications, because I don't want to hurt the sender's feelings. I want my friends to know that I like them, and that includes their ideas. That said, every time I get another useless application sent my way, I cringe. Wouldn't it be nice if they just never came my way in the first place? Well, here's a useful "how to", on how to block specific Facebook applications, so that you NEVER have to see another invitation to "all these games that most people don't want to join", as narrator Jeff Lange puts it, so matter-of-factly. Right on.
How would you like to go on a date with the boy next door? what if I told you that the boy next door had his head squeezed in an elevator door, and suffers from permanent head trauma. Or, as Daniel Murphy so aptly puts it, "... for some people you just get the feeling that given the opportunity they might squeeze love a little too tight and kill it."Labels: Internet, Unusual Behaviour, YouTube
