This video shows how pretty much everything in Game of Thrones is fake
Jul 08, 11:42PM
By now, we know that Game of Thrones uses a heavy VFX hand when it comes to building the world of Westeros but it's still amazing how real their visual effects can make it look.

Watch How This Futuristic Fiberglass Chair Is Made By Hand
Jul 08, 10:20PM
Moreso than any seat I think I've ever seen, the Karuselli Chair looks like something that should be stationed front and center on the bridge of the starship Enterprise. Can't you just see Kirk in there, doing a power swivel to talk biz with Spock or Scotty? In reality, the fiberglass classic was not conceived in space; it debuted fifty years ago here on Earth, and this short vid gives a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of how it's made.
We Should All Be Using Vacant Trolley Tracks For Personal Pallet Trains
Jul 08, 10:00PM
Trolleys and light rail trains are great for getting around a city and all, but let's face it, they're just sitting there empty a lot of the time, just begging you to trip over them. So why not turn that underused resource into a new form of mobility: A DIY pallet-train for one?

As scary as it might sound, this is a carefully planned experiment to peer inside Mount St. Helens' mysterious underground magma chamber.

When MIT Media Lab founder Nicholas Negroponte says that humans will be able to learn an entire language by eating a pill, you better listen. In this new TED Talk, Negroponte shows all the times he was right predicting the future in the 1970s and 1980s even while people laughed at him. Here's what he thinks that will happen next.

Jul 08, 7:00PM
When the Missouri River spilled over its banks in a catastrophic 2011 flood, we could have seen it coming—from space, that is. There's more to the story than meets the eye: the satellites don't take photos of snowpacks or rivers, but rather, they detect tiny changes in gravity over the Earth's surface to track water.

I want someone to do these stop-motion videos of objects being sanded down one layer at a time using every solid thing in existence. They are like destructive magnetic resonance scans. So cool.
