Various things from around the net I wanted to share...

I know I know.  There has been a lack of postings coming from me.  Outside of my full-time job at AT&T and the other 2 days spent in school, I have no time for "thinking".  Ha!

At home, I am doing homework, watching Netflix, or spending my scarce time with Brandi... and lately playing some Halo Reach. I am going to start posting stuff I buy from Amazon up here... Seriously.  Amazon has the best prices for anything, and they have everything you could ever want.  I bought Halo Reach and they shipped it for free, guaranteed arrival on the day of release, plus a $20 gift card.  Solid.  I have bought so many novels, gifts, home stuff, and most of my music on Amazon.  I downloaded Superchunk's new release, I preordered Call of Duty: Black Ops, and the upcoming Medal of Honor reboot. Time to geek out!

But the main reason for this post, I wanted to share some cool-ass videos, links, and pictures... I think I might start making a weekly habit of sharing awesome videos and pics.

What about HIPSTER SUPERHEROES? (click link to see fullsize super-hipsters, its awesome!)


This next link is a little geek heavy from my end.  I love slo-mo footage, you could take mundane events and tasks, slow it down, and it looks cool.  With the new Canon 7D, you can film at 60 fps, which gives you the ability to slow down video cleanly a little over 2x (regular is 24 fps).  Add to that, a filter on Adobe After Effects called Twixtor can replicate frames to make it seem upto 1000 fps (the same idea behind 120-240 mHz HDTVs using smooth-motion settings).  It looks amazing.  Check out this kid doing tricks on his bike:




And to end this blog, a cool pic from around the net to geek out on... fun fact, Nintendo is 121 years old today:




Sleep tight!
