An absolutely excellent video for a fantastic song.

This video footage of a mirage over a Chinese river may be one of the most remarkable examples of the surprises the world keeps up its sleeve. Totally reminds me of the potpourri videos Amélie watches in her apartment.

Parts are cheaper, knowledge and sharing are happening more than ever, and it’s easy to find people who have the skills you may need to work with. Even 3D printing is becoming more common. When you combine all this, I think we might just be entering a wearable electronics era.

Phillip Torrone provides an exhaustive (if exhausting) rundown of his experiments and the experiments of other within the realm of wearable technology. Notable mentions include the iCufflinks and Project Runway‘s Diana Eng.

Well, this ought to be entertaining:

Salutations Lulz Lizards,

As we’re aware, the government and whitehat security terrorists across the world continue to dominate and control our Internet ocean. Sitting pretty on cargo bays full of corrupt booty, they think it’s acceptable to condition and enslave all vessels in sight. Our Lulz Lizard battle fleet is now declaring immediate and unremitting war on the freedom-snatching moderators of 2011.

Welcome to Operation Anti-Security (#AntiSec) – we encourage any vessel, large or small, to open fire on any government or agency that crosses their path. We fully endorse the flaunting of the word “AntiSec” on any government website defacement or physical graffiti art. We encourage you to spread the word of AntiSec far and wide, for it will be remembered. To increase efforts, we are now teaming up with the Anonymous collective and all affiliated battleships.

Whether you’re sailing with us or against us, whether you hold past grudges or a burning desire to sink our lone ship, we invite you to join the rebellion. Together we can defend ourselves so that our privacy is not overrun by profiteering gluttons. Your hat can be white, gray or black, your skin and race are not important. If you’re aware of the corruption, expose it now, in the name of Anti-Security.

Top priority is to steal and leak any classified government information, including email spools and documentation. Prime targets are banks and other high-ranking establishments. If they try to censor our progress, we will obliterate the censor with cannonfire anointed with lizard blood.

It’s now or never. Come aboard, we’re expecting you…

History begins today.

Lulz Security,

I’ll be keeping an eye out for all manner of juicy leaked documents.  If governments thought WikiLeaks was a nuisance…

As Engadget says, this teaser debut video for Sony’s new line of tablets reveals next to nothing about the devices. But, man – it’s gorgeous! Can’t wait to see part two.

I know that the vast majority of people cannot sit through countless hours of financial documentaries like I’ve been doing recently (I realize I’m some sort of anomaly or glutton for punishment but I really do like them!), so this brief video explanation of what gives with the American economy is brilliant. Watch former Labor Secretary and economist Robert Reich explain it with pictures.

The backing animations are sometimes the best reason to see a band live. At least in my opinion. (I’d still see Bat for Lashes in a heartbeat even if she had nothing but a blank white background behind her.)

Great example of the lighting really doing the work to make a video look fantastic.

These film posters created entirely out of type by artist Patrik Svensson are entirely wonderful.  There are even more on his site, if you like what you see.
