How the World Map Looks Wildly Different Than You Think
Well, not really. If you're navigating using a compass, then the Mercator projection has the really neat trick of making the rhumb lines straight while keeping coasts recognisable. It's just not a good projection for general purpose uses (unlike the Waterman Butterfly).
In short, fuck mercator
The Incal, animated trailer (2011)
Neat. Not my favorite, and horribly awkward in so many ways, but I have to *promote this because it's so different.

...and thanks right back!
I thought that was a neat idea, but wish he would make a large version that could project in 10 minute increments and maybe go past 4pm. I did like that he put the hinge point in so it could be adjusted for the sun's angle easily.

Pokémon Go - Did You Know Gaming? Feat. Jimmy Whetzel
*Promote. That was neat. I haven't played Pokemon GO yet (or any of the Pokemon games for that matter) but it looks much better than some other mobile games I've tried.
Momma raccoon taking the kids home for the day...
Wow. Appropriate use of vertical video. Neat.
Lady Light Laser Girl
Vertical Video Warning!
Neat, and nice idea. She does it well, and looks good doing it.
As for how she does it....simple....dual lasers in each glove, so she can fire one or both at any time, synced with the floor laser.
I really could have done without the 1:15 of dead video at the end, though.
Carnivorous Worms Catch Bugs by Mimicking the Night Sky
Went there in 89. There are some tight spots in that cave system, not suggested for people over 200lbs. It was really neat to see the 'stars' while still inside the cave. You take a boat under them to exit the cave.
Unity Adam Demo - real time
They cannot make a game from this. This has a fixed PVS which allows them to pool all resources in the shot where the camera is facing. It's still real-time, but you can't free roam. There are some neat shaders applied here, but I'm more impressed with the sound than anything else.
If this is a game, I'd buy it.
If this is a movie, I'd rent it.
If this is a tech demo, I'd demand they make a game or a movie from it. This is an interesting universe.
How Peter Braxton defeated a patent troll and still lost
Very interesting, thanks for the additional info. I believe that the plantiff paying isn't subject to appeal in Ontario, I could be wrong, but I have a few lawyer friends I'll ask.
It's a neat look at how the laws work for and against someone.
Like he says in the video - the US has plenty of rules like that, and he won. The rule did its job and the court did its job, for what that's worth.
Under rule 11, his team claimed that Smart Options brought their lawsuit without doing their due diligence - they sued Braxton before they even looked at the product he was offering. Under that rule, his reasonable legal costs would be covered by the plaintiff, and the court agreed with them.
The plaintiff had the right to appeal, both the original ruling and the rule 11 ruling, which they chose to do. Braxton didn't want to wait for the appeal to be resolved (because it's expensive to wait for the system) so he opted to go into mediation with Smart Options and they scared the shit out of him. That's how he lost (until he brought Spangenberger on board).
The problem (in this case) isn't the legal mechanism itself - it's the fact that it takes a lot of time for these issues to be finally resolved, and that time span can kill a small business. I would guess that holds true in Ontario as well.
Postmodern Jukebox - Black Hole Sun ft Haley Reinhart
Neat! The couple of spots of vocal fry (0:37, 1:07 ) really wrecked it for me... very distracting and unprofessional sounding.

As always....thanks!
Neat stuff, huh? And purty!

Minivan Sized Sea Sponge May Be Oldest Living Animal
I'm not so happy they called it "the largest sea sponge in the world", when it's really just "the largest sea sponge ever found". Most of the ocean is unexplored. It's extremely likely that there's a larger/older one out there.
Still, neat *science stuff.
55 Generations of Sake: One Family's Sacred Art
Little bummed out that it's not actually a documentary on sake making, but neat none the less.
What the Vampire Squid Really Eats
I wonder what the effect of plastic particles will be on them. I was thinking they may be screwed by the sheer amount, but maybe the low metabolic rates may do something about that?
It's a neat creature, and one that can survive in the growing oxygen free zones in the ocean.
Maybe life has found a way with this thing. =)
Homemade Hoverbike
Still pretty neat stuff.
Is the future this or mag-lev...road maintenance is a big expense...we are going to be busy enough with the rising sea level..
