Flamethrower vs Fire Extinguisher

The new music video from Dancing Pigeons for “Ritalin” is another excellent ecample of what the Phantom was designed to do… take stunning, HD, ultra slow motion footage.

Reminiscent of the Vitalic video “Poney – Part 1″ from 2006 and recently copied for a dog food advert by “Pedigree” we love this video. How can you go wrong with 1000fps?

How to make your own glow sticks

Yet more proof is it were needed about how excellent the internet is for science and education. Sure for many of us making our own glowsticks is going to be expensive and impractical in our tiny (shedless) appartments but hey; what does that beginner’s guide to electronics and chemistry sitting on our shelves say about us if not… “here lives a dreamer. One day he will own a shed.”

Miniature Masterpieces on the tip of a pencil

The Telegraph has an excellent new gallery up of work by Dalton Ghetti – 17 images and well worth a look.

Working entirely by hand with only two tools (a scalpel and a sewing needle) Dalton’s pieces take months to complete but really are incredible. He also says he hasn’t sold a single one of them yet, preferring instead to simply give them away to friends so if you’re after one for your wall – maybe try buying him a pint instead.

Another Thursday flashback – The Ultimate Showdown

In 2006 epic flash video “The Ultimate Showdown”  was released into the Newgrounds flash portal where it became an instant hit and remains as true and awesomely relevant today as it ever was.  Sadly you can’t embed from Newgrounds so we’ve had to link to a YouTube rip but if you want to watch the high quality original – click here!

The original music is by Lemon Demon who have done a whole range of great songs accompanied by great videos so do check them out. Oh and as it’s a Thursday I thought I’d share our other Lemon Demon favourite with you…
