WatchDa Funk by Daft Punk
Is there even ONE single thing that is not perfect in this video? (Also note that the song is never properly heard.) My favourite part that sums up the video’s entire feeling is with the survey lady.

Weißwurstäquator →
bestofwikipedia:
The Weißwurstäquator (literally: white sausage equator) is a humorous term describing the (supposedly) very different culture and dialect of the Southern part of Germany, especially Bavaria, as opposed to its other parts. The term refers to the fact that Weißwurst is a favorite dish in Southern Germany, but seldom served in the other regions.
Actually, although I could understand...
When Puppies Clash, the Boys Let the Girls Win
fuckyeahfacts:
When puppies play fight, the males will often let the females win, even when they have a physical advantage. A recent study found that boy puppies “self-handicap” in intra-sex grappling by giving their counterpart the chance to bite them in vulnerable positions, and by sometimes collapsing to the ground like they have been knocked out even though there was no contact. “We know...

WatchVol Libre, an amazing CG film from 1980
In 1980, Boeing employee Loren Carpenter presented a film called Vol Libre at the SIGGRAPH computer graphics conference. It was the world’s first film using fractals to generate the graphics. Even now it’s impressive to watch.

Push The Button →
“The city deactivated most of the pedestrian buttons long ago with the emergence of computer-controlled traffic signals, even as an unwitting public continued to push on, according to city Department of Transportation officials. More than 2,500 of the 3,250 walk buttons that still exist function essentially as mechanical placebos, city figures show. Any benefit from them is only...

Το φθινόπωρο του 1991 αποφάσισα πως θα μου άρεσε πάρα πολύ να φτιάξω το πρώτο “μεγάλο” μου πρόγραμμα στον υπολογιστή. H Turbo Pascal μου φαινόταν εξαιρετική και όμορφη, μαθήματα δε χρώσταγα, δουλειές δεν είχα, οπότε, γιατί όχι; Επέλεξα να φτιάξω ένα πρόγραμμα λεξικού. Όσο το έφτιαχνα (πολλές ώρες και μέρες) άκουγα συνέχεια το Fox Base Alpha των Saint Etienne.
O Richard X πήρε το Fox...
