Remember kids, if you have two cats, give them two boxes.

Or else a very rough dispute might happen!

For good or for bad, the crazy-awesome (and weird) martial arts movies era are coming to an end.
But they were the best things ever in my childhood and teens.
I grew up wanting to be a ninja, just like any kid my age.

Unfortunately that magic is kinda gone nowadays, but thanks to YouTube user guggs222 we can watch again some of the greatest fighting scenes of movies that are now 20 to 40 years old!
So, as a tribute to those magic years, and thanking very much for the guy who took his time to make these compilations, I’m making a post series with the selection!
Of course to kids these days those videos will look kinda ridiculous and all without all the video editing and effects we have nowadays, but still…

Been a long time since I last saw a printer like that… probably among the first inkjet printers that ever came out.

Induction chargers are awesome. You just leave your cellphone, gamepad, portable device on it and automagically it starts charging!
Practical issues aside, comes aesthetics. They look like a big mousepad with wires coming out of it, which don’t look exactly good.

Jason V solved this problem (for himself at least) though, making a wood plank induction charger.
Well, it still stands out like a sore thumb, but with enough reworking I guess one could make a wooden table with bits of it working as an induction charger.
Or even a sepparated shelf for your gadgets…

Ever heard of the moving rocks, sailing stones or sliding rocks of Death Valley? No?
Ok, imagine this: A desert like region (Racetrack Playa at the Death Valley) that has nothing but bare landscapes and a bunch of rocks laying around.
Noone goes there and there are no animals around. But somehow, mysteriously, you can see stuff like this there:

See, and the thing is: you didn’t move the rock. No one did. But the tracks are still there.
Can you imagine the ammount of paranormal, weird, maybe even religious explaining people tried to give it?

Made by Oli Chang at Nylon studios…

…because animals have the right to party on weekends too! o_O

In celebration for the 10th anniversary of movie The Matrix (yes, it’s that’s old already) YouTube user LegoAgentJones made this sweet stop motion lego animation of the scene from the title. It’s of course, from the first movie.

They even have an official legoMatrix website detailing everything about the project, including camera used, making of details, tips for those who want to do something similar (stop motion animation) and others.
The only thing I couldn’t find out is the real name of the people behind the project…
