Friday Videos - Dec 4th, 2015

posted December 4, 2015 #

I skipped last week due to Thanksgiving, which means a larger-than-usual list of videos for your enjoyment this week. I even had a hard time picking cover art - here's the alternate choice or maybe even this gem... tough choices!

Enjoy the selections! Hope you enjoyed.

Pickle Cat

posted December 4, 2015 #

Occasionally the Internet bestows you with such a beautiful gift that you must stop what you're doing and gaze into it for far too long. Such is the case with Pickle Cat, the wonderful space bound feline enamored with the frightful cucumber beast. It's Internet Perfection™.

I try to make time on the weekends to read through some of the longer articles that I may have missed throughout the week. Here's a few I've enjoyed recently and a few I'm looking forward to. What else should I be reading?

Kano

posted December 3, 2015 #

I just became aware of Kano, a computer and coding kit for kids ages 6 and up. It's a bunch of parts that can be put together to create a fully functioning computer and an operating system that lets them code and create projects. It's like legos but with actual computers. The sample material online makes it look like a rather compelling offer.

I would lament that I wish I had something like this when I was a kid but we did - Construx, Tandy's, Monster Lab, Legos, etc. etc. This is just the next generation of the same type of creative and analytical thinking.

Panther Glitch

posted December 3, 2015 #

Paul Jackson has a lot of fine art prints available for sale in his shop. I'm mostly enamored with this small print Panther that is glitched out in the most unexpected ways. Just wanted to make sure this was shared for all to enjoy.

Uncanny Valley

posted December 3, 2015 #

Caught this on Twitter last night, a high-concept, incredibly well executed sci-fi short by the name of Uncanny Valley. There are echoes of Neil Blomkamp or even Toys in there but it stands on its own. Added bonus: incredibly well realized CG and top notch glitch effects. Worth your time to watch.

@yewknee @jayjaypowpow y'all are the most interesting shit I've seen on twitter in a year. So I'm breaking my twitter silence.

Your "thoughts" should be about steps to take to stop this carnage. Your "prayers" should be for forgiveness if you do nothing - again.

People talk about gun control like it's some crazy notion that isn't the norm for most of the developed world. What isn't normal is America

Your thoughts and prayers are in my thoughts and prayers.
