Watch Yann Tiersen Perform A Concert on France's Foggy, Rocky Shore
May 30, 11:30PM
My heart still flutters when I hear pretty much any part of Yann Tiersen's lilty, lovely soundtrack for Amélie from a few years back, and I always tell myself I'll catch up with his other work. Well, it's time. Just before the French musician released his new album Infinity, he performed a "secret" concert on the shores of Brittany, and it's an hour of windy, weathered beauty.
Man is stuck in South Korea after his kid doodled all over his passport
May 30, 11:24PM
A Chinese man and his four-year-old son are apparently stuck in South Korea because his son used his old man's passport as a drawing book. Seriously. While on vacation, the kid started doodling over his Dad's passport, decorating it with human-ish and animal-ish figures, a lot of scribbles and some added flair. Cute!

May 30, 10:30PM
In this week's Landscape Reads, we learn all about Yellowstone's "Zone of Death," the bitter rivalry of pallet companies (yes, pallet companies), the ultimate cause behind Alaska's Funny River fire, and more.
A MIDI Joystick Is Definitely the Best Way To Play Music
May 30, 10:20PM
In the music video for his aptly-named track Arcade, M4SONIC is seen playing a custom-made arcade-style joystick that's actually a MIDI instrument. Instead of using a piano keyboard, or a rhythm pad filled with countless buttons to trigger MIDI samples, this creation let M4SONIC channel his childhood Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat skills into his music.
Let's Talk About Whatever You Want Right Now
May 30, 10:14PM
Hello, good people of the internet. We've made it to the almost-end of yet another Friday at work; the time of week when the clock slows to a molasses-like pace as you wonder just how soon you'll be able to abandon your desk for the comfort of a barstool and a cold, cold beer.
A Handmade Horse Bike Will Be Your Gorgeous Lifelong Steed
May 30, 10:00PM
We've taken a look inside Thomas Callahan's Horse workshop in Williamsburg before, and we know he's good at making beautiful bikes. But with its second run of set-sized handmade bikes, Horse has outdone itself. Case in point: The Urban Assault 2014, a masterfully sculpted piece of steel.
Can YouTube Help Doctors Study the Science of Faceplanting?
May 30, 9:40PM
When YouTube arrived at the beginning of this millennium, viral videos were not so different from what had long entertained us on America's Funniest Home Videos: adorable pets, funny kids, and painful accidents. And so we have faceplant gifs and faceplant supercuts and now, a scientific journal article based on a faceplant video on YouTube.
How England's Yeast Vault Saved a Brewery After a Disastrous Flood
May 30, 9:25PM
A commercial brewery is really a factory. Raw ingredients like grain and water go in one end, flow through pipes and tanks, and beer comes out the other side. But you could gut and replace all those pipes and tanks, switch from one grain supplier to another, swap out the walls and the controllers, and the same beer would still flow from the taps, metaphorically speaking.
A Very Specific List of Things That Are Ruining My Google Alerts
May 30, 8:45PM
I love Google Alerts. They're a great tool for tracking the mention of different things online. I use them less as a way to learn about breaking news and more as a way to discover how people are talking about the future. But there are all kinds of things that are messing them up. Well, messing them up for me specifically.
Was This Plastic Helmet the 1940s' Solution to Smog?
May 30, 8:30PM
When smog first descended on Los Angeles as a thick, grey mist in the 1940s, it caught the city unprepared. What were Angelenos—their eyes watery, their breathing labored—to do? Don plastic helmets and walk around in their own private atmospheres, like astronauts on a alien planet?
An Alarm Clock App That Wakes Skiers Earlier For Freshly Fallen Snow
May 30, 8:30PM
For devoted skiers, there's nothing quite like finding a slope covered in a blanket of fresh snow. And with Helly Hansen's First Tracks alarm clock app, they'll have a better chance at being the first on the mountain after an overnight snowfall since it automatically wakes you up earlier if there's fresh powder to be enjoyed.
New NASA video shows a massive Sun explosion like never before
May 30, 8:29PM
For the first time ever, NASA has been able to capture a massive solar eruption with unprecedented detail using IRIS, a highly sensitive instrument that can only cover a relatively small zone of the Sun at any give time. Catching this involved "some educated guesses and a little bit of luck."
This Device Records The Music Made By Flapping Insect Wings
May 30, 8:00PM
Bzzz. Bzzzzzzz. Bzzzz. That's the sound of a house fly slowly driving you insane, but it's music to the ears of a team of computer scientists and entomologists at UC Riverside. These meticulous folks came up with a way to collect data on insects by tracking the distinct melodies of their wings in flight.
How to Hack a Car and Control It From 1500 Miles Away
May 30, 7:20PM
Imagine this: You're cruising along when the car suddenly brakes. The doors lock. It starts accelerating backward. A hacker hundreds of miles away has taken control of your car over the cellular network. This is how it happens, as explained by a video from the good folks at Motherboard.
How Verizon Tricks You Into Paying for the Privilege to Pay More
May 30, 7:00PM
Earlier this month, the FCC voted in favor of a pretty thoroughly terrible proposal that would kill net neutrality as we know it. A proposal that would give broadband companies an absurd amount of powers that they themselves delineated. A proposal that would also give Verizon (and broadband carriers in general) the ability to act as internet gatekeeper—playing favorites and charging whatever the hell they damn well please.
Amateurs demolish 100-foot tower using power tool, almost get crushed
May 30, 6:57PM
This pair of insane amateurs decided to demolish a 100-foot high brick tower in Belarus with a handheld power tool. Their survival was purely down to fast reactions and luck, as the tower actually fell the way they planned and the flying debris somehow avoided their path.
An iPad-Controlled Drum Machine That Plays Whatever You've Got
May 30, 6:40PM
If you've ever realized how much potential a box of dry pasta has as a shakeable instrument, you'll immediately understand why Lorenzo Bravi's Hit the Beat drum machine is so wonderful. Because whatever you've got on hand, from dry beans to bottle camps, suddenly becomes a real-life drum sample.
11 of the Weirdest Videos on YouTube
May 30, 6:00PM
YouTube is a wonderful place. But for every adorable and/or aw-inducing clip, there's something so bizarre it makes you question everything you thought was right and good in the world. But whether it's funny-bizarre, sad-bizarre, or forever-make-your-soul-just-a-little-bit-darker-bizarre, each is special in its own (very) unique way.
The Best GoPro, Synology NAS, Criterion Collection Sale, Parrot Drone
May 30, 5:45PM
At this point, you don't need me to tell you how great this camera is. I will tell you though that it's the lowest price we've seen on it that didn't require a paid REI membership, and you should be able to avoid tax in most states. [GoPro Hero3+ Black, $330]
Magnetic Cello Comes With No Strings Attached
May 30, 5:40PM
Last year's laser violin was the first re-imagined stringed instrument that didn't actually have any strings. And not to be outdone in the orchestra pit of the future, this year it's the cello's turn to get a fancy stringless upgrade. But instead of lasers, the Magnetovore opts for magnets, requiring the musician to play it like a sort of cello/theremin hybrid.
This Case Transforms the Space Around Your iPhone Into a Trackpad
May 30, 5:20PM
The future of gesture control could be snapped right onto your existing smartphone. That's the concept behind Fuffr, an iPhone case that turns the empty space around your phone into a Leap Motion-style gestural interface.
I Cheated On My Road Bike With A Commuter (And I Liked It)
May 30, 5:00PM
Apart from a brief afternoon fling with a chunky Dutch cruiser in Rotterdam a few years back, I've been with the same road bike since I started riding around San Francisco four years ago. We've got a great thing going, but I had grown complacent. I was ready to see what else was out there.
How to Edit Videos In Your Browser With YouTube's Built-in App
May 30, 4:40PM
YouTube's online video editor has been around for several years, but it's not heavily promoted on the site, and it often gets overlooked by people wanting a basic tool to spruce up their footage. It shouldn't, though, because it's surprisingly capable. Here's how to get the most out of it.
North Korea Invented a Gatorade That's Made From Fungus
May 30, 4:20PM
Once again, North Korea has positioned itself at the forefront of some of the greatest state-of-the-art, trailblazing, pseudo-scientific delusions the world has ever known. This time, in the form of a fungus-based sports drink.
