Awesome. A band made up of old scrap mechanical and computer parts. I for one welcome our new robotic musical overlords.

NASA Number Two
Space Toilet
Posted by: Damin - 2008-06-26 07:14:48



A NASA engineer explains the mechanics of using a toilet in space. The best line of the video is his explanation of what they do with the waste. "So the next you see a beautiful shooting star going across the sky, that's what it might be."

An interactive television show gets a little too interactive for one viewer.

Escalator Spinner
Going Around Instead Of Up Or Down
Posted by: Damin - 2008-06-23 20:15:31



How does anyone discover this trick of using the escalator hand rails moving in opposite directions to spin themselves around? I guess it really doesn't matter. If any of you decide to try this, please make sure you have a friend film it so they can post it on the web when you fail to spin around but succeed in falling on your head and tumbling down the escalator. It will make such an awesome viral follow-up.

People ironing clothes in extreme situations. That's pretty much it, but it is quite an interesting collection of photos of such a niche subject.

Stories Told In A Single Sentence

I stumbled across this just today. It is a collection of supposedly true stories told in a single sentence. Here are some of the most popular one sentence stories. They range from humorous to sad but all quite poignant in their own way.

Spore Creature Creator
Interesting Creations
Posted by: Damin - 2008-06-23 20:00:16



Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. Long time no post. Anyways...

The Spore Creature Creator, a little precursor sampler for the upcoming Spore game, has yielded an incredible number of creations. Geekanerd has posted some Spore creatures that look like stuff.

Spore is one of the few games coming out on PC that I am extremely interested in. I just like the whole concept of nurturing a single cell organism into a space faring species through in game evolution.

Top Gear Test

Automotive engineers design car bodies to act as a Faraday cage to protect people in cars if they are struck by lightning. However, they don't run tests to see if it would actually work. The good people of Top Gear decide to put this engineering to the test.

Yeah, I know not posting a lot. Stuff comes up *cough*GTA IV*cough*. Speaking of GTA IV, Jason Zumwalt of The Post Show fame voiced the character of Roman Bellic. Despite the mad success of he game, he isn't earning any residuals for his voice work and he needs your help. How can you help? For a nominal fee you can Rent Roman.

Hands Free Mario Music
11 Minute Masterpiece
Posted by: Damin - 2008-05-06 22:29:19



Custom made Super Mario World levels where they are designed to play without any user input are pretty spiffy. Super Mario World levels that are designed based around the various sound effects and synchronized to music is just too much awesome. Kudos to whoever created it.

CBC Cricket.com Spot
Company Profile
Posted by: Damin - 2008-05-05 21:55:19

Get the Flash Player to see this player.


I was on TV today! Someone from CBC Television came to Live Current to interview Chief Corporate Development Officer, Mark Melville, about Cricket.com and its involvement with the Indian Premier League. Even though the spot featured some techie looking guys doing stuff around computers, it is actually the Perfume.com development team shown on camera. (Ah, the magic of TV editing.) We just happened to be most readily available so it makes for some good content given the structure of the story. Nonetheless, we are all part of the same company, so it's all good. If you are wondering which one I am, I am the one with the bald pate.

DISCLAIMER: Just to uphold the honour and dignity of my place of employment, many things I write on my PERSONAL site in no way reflect my real life PROFESSIONAL attitude at Live Current. A lot of things I write here are completely tongue in cheek and meant as silly amusements for my friends who understand my sense of humour, and should in no way be taken seriously. Except for my love of video games, sci-fi tv and comic book superhero movies. Seriously, check out Iron Man. It totally rocked my face off.

Although as surreal as this is, what I find more surprising is... Gary Coleman is married?
