// May 22nd, 2012 // No Comments » // Video

David Lee Roth addresses Friday’s announcement of the postponement of the rest of the 2012 tour.

Hmm, if they do eventually end up coming to Raleigh, I’d see them again on this tour.

Cycling Explained

// April 4th, 2012 // No Comments » // Cycling, Funny Stuff, Video

In a series of daily post, it looks like I’m sharing nothing videos. Sorry, but these are all relevant to me and my life and interests. They’re also quick and easy to post.

This one is all about cycling and cyclists. Funny, but almost entirely true.

Hoverboard Test Footage from Back to the Future II

// April 3rd, 2012 // No Comments » // Film, Video

A co-worker who is as big of a Back to the Future fan as I am, sent this video to me yesterday — test footage of the hoverboard filming and effect. So cool, and well done. We were saying it was so well done, it’d be hard to improve on the effect in present day.

“Riding the Booster” Never Sounded Better

// March 19th, 2012 // No Comments » // Space Stuff & NASA, Video

Even with the shuttle being retired for over a half a year, we’re still getting cool media.

Check the video after the jump for an audio and video journey of one of the solid rocket boosters launches, gets separated from the shuttle orbiter, and then descends and parachutes into the ocean.

It’s a compilation of footage from STS-117 (Atlantis) and STS-127 (Endeavour). Very cool.

Space Shuttle Era: Power Down

Nice little video showing the permanent powering down of two of the three remaining shuttles (Atlantis and Discovery) from back in December.

Later this year, they’ll be in their new display homes.

Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson’s Remarks at Senate Commerce Hearing on Future of our Space Program

// March 9th, 2012 // No Comments » // Space Stuff & NASA, Video

In a time when the U.S. doesn’t have a way to get humans in space and the budget to reinstate that is dwindling, Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson’s remarks in front of the Senate are appreciated and sobering.

This one is making its rounds today. I’ve had two people this morning send it to me. It’s a well done video that sums up the Carolina Basketball legacy quite well. Enjoy. Go Tar Heels!

Discovery, Innovation and New Destinations Highlight “This Year @NASA”

// December 29th, 2011 // No Comments » // Space Stuff & NASA, Tech, Video

This was posted two days before Christmas, but I just found it on YouTube yesterday. It highlights NASA’s accomplishments in 2011 — a year that was highlighted with the 30+ year space shuttle program decommissioned, scientific missions (including Juno, MSL Curiosity, Aquarius and the one I got to see launch, GRAIL) and partnerships with four different commercial companies taking over and modifying Kennedy Space Center facilities to continue low-Earth orbit.

NASA is now poised to focus on further targets. The video is quite long but simultaneously very in-depth and informative.

Just heard this parody of the Apple iPhone 4S/Siri commercial when I was listening to the latest episode of This Week in Tech on the drive into work. Too funny.
