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!

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.

These are a few years old, but I just stumbled upon them and they rock. A couple of rock giant-inspired Christmas tunes. They’re all well done.
Frank Klepacki spoofs AC/DC, Ozzy Osbourne, Van Halen and Rob Zombie in the festive video below.

NASA TV’s YouTube channel added this 17 minute video yesterday, and it’s a pretty cool historical account of our now retired space shuttle program, along with a little voice over by William Shatner, insight from astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson and a soundtrack by Rush.

It’s all so amazing, and here’s to the next chapter of space exploration.

In case you missed it, the Kennedy Space Center had another successful launch this past weekend, sending the Mars-bound Curiosity car-sized rover into outer space.

Congrats to everyone involved in successfully launching the Atlas 5 rocket with its large precious cargo sitting atop!

Here’s the premiere of Tyler’s second spy movie trailer, chocked full of Tyler randomness and craziness. iMovie really makes these fun and easy to do.

My friend Bret tweeted this over to me earlier today. While I’d never subject my road bikes to such aero-killing designs, love the video and ingenuity these people came up with utilizing a bike and a video camera.

I’m getting fewer and fewer hours with the old XBox 360, though my son is starting to be intrigued by the Guitar Hero and Rock Band series of games. See the thumbnail to the right.

Love that picture!

Anyway, this first trailer of the new GTA game looks great, and it seems that Rockstar Games has continued to make good and deep games in the series.

This trailer also reminded me that I never finished GTA IV.

I got stuck on the last mission. Maybe I need to revisit.

This is interesting piece that aired during the 1994 Tour de France, when American Lance Armstrong really wasn’t known in America.

It took a lot of interviewing of Texas’ locals before someone correctly identified the young cyclist as a young cyclist.

Look at how young Lance was BTW.
