This is a not-so flattering look at Cork City on a Saturday night, but it’s probably repeated most everywhere where drink is served.
I like the music though. Could this be a sneaky attempt to make a viral video for the musician? Bet there’ll be an exclusive interview with thejournal.ie or The Examiner in a few days time. Or, as one Reddit user said,
obvious propaganda from the government in Dublin who want to annex our republic.
Of course.
A drone flew over Cork City capturing the cityscape from an unusual viewpoint. You may even recognise parts of it from the photos of Cork I’ve posted in the past.
I honestly don’t know if this is legal or not but it’s impressive. Watch it before it gets taken down!
Yonatan Zunger posted this video featuring Neil Armstrong’s voice on Google Plus almost 2 weeks ago and I’ve been meaning to post it here for a while. The latest xkcd cartoon finally gave me the opportunity to combine this inspirational video and Kerbal Space Program in one post.
So far the 21st century has been pretty amazing. I’m looking forward to more science!
In a few hours time Neil deGrasse Tyson will present the new series of Cosmos. We won’t see it in this part of the world for another week unfortunately. I never saw the original series and only know Carl Sagan by reputation as the only time I’ve heard him speak at length was in this 1996 Science Friday interview they rebroadcast in December. I still have it on my phone despite the fact I listened to it several weeks ago. It’s a great interview, you should listen to it too.
Thanks to Reddit here’s a short interview with a younger Neil deGrasse Tyson where he explains the influence Carl Sagan had on him and tells of first meeting him. It’s a lovely and charming story.
Some good news if you’re drinking a diet soda and people have warned you it’s poisonous.
Everything in moderation of course. I’d say don’t drink sodas (diet or otherwise) at all on a regular basis. (via Reddit)
A horrific road traffic advert from New Zealand. Thanks Anthony.
When two planes collide it was lucky everyone had parachutes on. They all survived, even the pilots. One plane landed but the other pilot had to bail out. I think I read he had to use a reserve parachute to escape.
This is an extended 1080p version of the grainy video that was out a few weeks ago. It has footage from multiple Gopro cameras mounted on the helmets of the divers. Amazing that nobody was injured or killed.
Another cracking video from Republic of Telly.
I had read several positive reviews of this beautiful puzzle platformer and picked it up during a sale some time ago but alas haven’t played it for much more than an hour yet.
It’s not a game that will tax your nerves or make your brain ache but it’s beautiful to watch and the puzzles draw you in. Definitely worth buying and experiencing.
Cork band Crystal Swing’s new song and crazy video.
I recognise Eddie Rocket’s in Blackpool but what school is that? (via)
