Daytime Fireworks

A few days ago in Doha,Qatar. A great daytime fireworks show took place by the Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang. Simply beautiful.

At the Arab Museum of Modern Art in Doha, Qatar this week, Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang put on his largest “explosion event” of the last three years, utilizing microchip-controlled explosives to form incredible designs and patterns. The video we’ve embedded of the event is an impressive testament to how a volatile black powder explosion can be controlled and shaped by computer.

Each set of explosions was calculated to paint a different picture. One series of explosions created black smoke clouds that looked like “drops of ink splattered across the sky.”

In another, 8,300 shells embedded with computer microchips exploded in a pyramid shape over the desert.

Jimmy Kimmel vs Kids Take 2: I Gave My Kids a Terrible Present

Jimmy Kimmel did a great segmant  a few weeks back when he told parents to film their kids telling them that they ate all their halloween candy. This time he asks parents to bring a stupid gift and film them opening it. It was awesome. [Youtube]

“Are You Serious? We Are Not Struggling”

Manchester United bowed out of the Champion’s League competition a little early this year after their 2-1 defeat to Basel yesterday.

The video above is from the post-match press conference after Sir Alex’s side drew 2-2 with Benfica. The interviewer asks him a question about the best teams in the premier league and why they are “struggling” in Europe. Ferguson after telling him to repeat the question, chuckles and responds with “are you serious?” and then says ” we are not struggling” and then just walks out of the interview.

But what you didn’t know, Sir Alex, the interviewer asked -what now seems- an absolutely legit question.

This is Art

This video shows Miguel Endara while making a portrait of his father titled “Hero” composed entirely out of ink dots. 3.2 million in total to be exact.

My only question is, how did he count them.

Skydiver Survives Mid-Air Collision And Impact With Ground

This must be the scariest video I’ve seen on YouTube. The guy struggles to get is parachute untangelled for a few thousand feet before hitting the ground but survives to tell the tale.

At 2,500 feet, my jump partner flairs his canopy causing it slow down rapidly. I entangle with it and he cuts away. Unable to fly a ball of nylon effectively, I impact a cornfield breaking my pelvis, back and neck causing instant paralysis. As I lay waiting for help, spinal shock begins to set in paralyzing my diaphragm and breathing on my own becomes impossible. Rescue breathing is performed as I lose consciousness. Paramedics arrive and I’m med-flighted to UW Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin where I awake days later after surgery and begin life as a quadriplegic. It’s taken me four and a half years to be able to watch this video.

Yves “Jetman” Rossy Flies in Formation

I remember posting about Mr. Rossy last year when he tried out his new “Jet Propelled Wing” or jetpack and reaching speeds of 300 km/h in the descend.

The Jetman just attempted to fly in formation with a couple of L-39C planes for about 10 minutes and succeeded.

I want one.
