Some has managed to bring together civil aviation and Star Wars by creating a video showing what a Star Wars airport might look like – or perhaps a Star Port rather than an airport – with a great mix from scenes including Frankfurt mixed with footage from some of the Star Wars films. It appeals […]
One of the big media stories of the last few days has been the release of the teaser trailer for Star Wars Episode Seven – which unusually for the series is actually the seventh film released – with the film called The Force Awakens. Sci Fi fans of a certain age who remember Star Wars […]
You probably have, like many people, seen a cooking programme like Masterchef or the like which no doubt includes a stage where the chefs need to cook for someone who is particularly picky like a food critic or previous winner. Well, here is a video that has a similar look, although the food in particular […]
I posted recently a video of a giggling meerkat. Since that, I have been sent this video, which is a tickled penguin. You may be aware that I do like penguins, and have previously posted about feeding penguins whilst in Australia. It has been said that it is hard to be unhappy whilst watching penguins, […]
This one might only be for fans of the film Aliens. As the titles says, here is a baby in a Caterpillar P5000 Powerloader, which was the device from Aliens that could be worn to assist with construction in space, but was actually used when fighting the Xenomorphs… Although rather than the one from […]
Lego seems to be en vogue at the moment, and I am pleased to see one of my favourite childhood toys enjoying a resurgence in popularity. I was also pleased to see an interesting use of Lego, to build a fully functioning keyboard. Of course, there are some parts of a standard keyboard that are […]
At SXSW, or South by South West, the series of festivals in Austin Texas each March, there are all sorts of opportunities to see wonderful new things, be they music, film, or gadgets. However, a growing problem in the modern world is that people manage not to see these as they walk right by whilst […]
Another amusing animal video for you. This time, it’s an armadillo, gathering some leaves, which in itself would be a little amusing. However, play some music that is in time with the movements of the armadillo, and you have something much more funny. In this case, the sound track is Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean, which […]
Another video that made me chuckle. This one shows an apparent theft, which would be best described by a newspaper headline like “squirrel steals model plane”. I suspect some remote control, film editing and set up is required, but I’m sure many of you like me would be amused at the idea of a squirrel […]
It’s probably fair to say for many of us that how we look when we dance in our heads, and how we look to others may be somewhat different. It is also fair to say that, perhaps, if we were to watch how we dance with a slightly different tune playing, then this may also […]
I am reliably informed that today is World Polar Bear Day, and as such it seems an appropriate day to share this relatively recent video from Toronto Zoo of a polar bear cub who was born in November 2013 being introduced to the snow for the first time. It is a very cute little cub, […]
Imagine living somewhere sunny like Botswana in Southern Africa, where the warm weather means that the way to cool down means jumping into your pool, rather than having to spend time in flooded fields in Britain. Whilst that sounds idyllic, there are risks there that you might not expect to happen in the UK, including […]
