A blog with delusions of grandeur

This dude is crazy

Chuck went out on the water and got circled by sharks, so the next day he goes out on the water with a camera… Come to find sharks come back, one of which is a 9 foot Great White. Add this to the list of things I wouldn’t do.

Via @Dens who added, “I hate sharks so much!” Me too, dude. Me too.

Flood on Lake St, Somerville

I live on Lake St and every couple years you find out why. We were away this weekend when our entire neighborhood flooded, stranding cars and trains. Here’s an awesome video by Paper Fortress Films showing the situation Saturday afternoon.

A couple years ago, I made this much less awesome video to show a flood.

Not much to say, is there?

Stop Motion Paper Skateboard Cutouts

Skateboard magazines from a long time ago (and now still?) had “x photo per second” sequences of skaters doing tricks. Tilles Singer took those, cut them out, and then brought the skaters to life in stop motion video. Love it.

The Pig & The Butcher

My brother sent this excellent video by Quarter Productions who gave us the awesome video of Chris Piascik drawing. The music is perfect for this video of a butcher using the entire hog.

MUTO – Animated Graffiti

If Muto, by Blu, isn’t all over the web soon, I don’t understand the internet. Called “An ambiguous animation painted on public walls” the graffiti is literally animated. Phenomenal. Yes. Yes. More. Yes.

Wu Tang Clan Chessboxin’ Video

Reminiscent of the hip hop album covers reshot with Lego characters, here is a lego based remake of the Chessboxin’ video.

Bike Lanes in Boston

Mike sent over this video comparing the future of biking on 2 of Boston’s bigger streets, Mass Ave and Comm Ave. The short documentary makes the point that the streets are going in opposite directions (as it were) in regards to bike safety.

And here, via Dave, is a short story about London city planners using a 3D sidewalk design to try to slow bikers down. I don’t think it’s going to work more than once.

Last Day Dream by Chris Milk

A little late on this, but it’s nice. You’ll click it for the panties and love it.
