Someone's Been Siphoning Data Through a Huge Internet Security Hole
Dec 06, 1:54PM
Sometimes, something is so big that you don't notice it for a long time. You suddenly realize you're in a massive crater, say, or that a building is towering overheard. Or, in this case, a gaping security void in the internet. And someone's been siphoning massive amounts of data out of it.

Drums can sound completely different depending on where they're played
Dec 06, 6:03AM
Wow, this is really cool. Audio Zéro recently made a video called Wikidrummer that shows how the same song on drums can sound completely different depending on where the drums are played. Out in the field, on a road, underneath a highway, inside a garage, in the park and so on can change the overall feel of the drums and make it sound louder, heavier, punchier, lighter and so forth. The snare gets especially gnarly.

Seeing fog roll through a mountain is like seeing a horde of ghosts
Dec 06, 3:08AM
I'm supposed to know better. Fog is a phenomenon of weather. It's a low cloud hanging near the ground. It's shrouded moisture. It's not a haunting ghost. It's not from another planet. But why does this hypnotic time lapse of fog rolling through the Rocky Mountains from Richard Gottardo feel so supernatural? Or at least, from another world.
