New Vehicle Crash Test; Ouch
A new Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crash test is making me wince. If you watch the “small overlap test” video above, you can see most of the airbags doing absolutely no good because of the physics of the collision.
I like my head. I like it to not bounce off car parts.
Another thought I always have when watching crash videos is, “I’m glad I don’t have to clean up afterward.”
Update: The YouTube embedment should be working now.

Pomplamoose Knocks it Clean
I love Pomplamoose’s videos. They make good stuff. They just released their tribute to Batman by covering the theme music.
I say just because they delayed it due to the Aurora shootings. They explain their reasoning, and why they ended up releasing it anyway, in the video.

I Heart Vi Hart
But! DO NOT WATCH this video until you’ve watched some of her other videos. If you have, great! Otherwise, watch Pi is Wrong or Snakes or any of her other videos on YouTube or at her website.
Vi Hart totally rocks.

Great Short Film
I have to go to work today, but before I do I am presenting you with something I found this morning that has made it awesome.
Watch it. It’s well worth your eight minutes.

The Piano Guys do Cello
You may have seen the link for Cello Wars making the rounds, and I highly recommend watching it, however after perusing the catalog of the guys who produced that, I came across this number which dropped my jaw on the floor. Firstly, the music is great. Secondly, the videography is out of this fucking world! It’s so good, it’s beyond good and wrapping around the klein bottle into the fourth dimension of awesome. Make sure you watch and listen to their other stuff as well.

Mobile Behavior
The thing that amazes me the most, if you watch this closely, is how blase everyone is about the close encounters.
