Getting some “On to the next one” by Jay Z vibe on this video, anyway a nice one. Stoked seeing them here in Amsterdam in June.

The copyrighting in these commercials is beyond awesome. And as the narrator; Ron Swanson!

Car Crash Studies.

Nicolai Howalt‘s Car Crash Studies series ties a post-crash carnage to artistic abstraction, as the photographs of metallic dents and scratches have a true sculptural quality. This contrasts to the chaos of the subject-matter to unveil a fascinating and hidden beauty in destruction. (via Beautiful/Decay)

When consoles die.

This guy @BenCousins have really nice presentation about what is happening in the game industry and especially with various consoles. Enjoy 20 minutes and listen to the new iOS industry and how we just lost a console gaming generation.

Saddle Up.

All my boys from Gothenburg was here last weekend. They drove down which is actually only like a 12 hours drive just so they could bring their bikes. Took a really nice ride to the beach with some beer tasting at the Haarlem local brewery Jopen. After that continued to the beach but the weather got gnarly so we actually took the train home. Here is a lil’ recap from one of the better weekends since i moved here!

200.000 New Galaxies.

Hampus — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 09:15:42 +0000

As you might already know the Space is fucking mind-blowing. Basically everything that has anything to do with Space is amazing, which kind of means that everything is. Anyway some guy used the VISTA telescope in Chile and took this amazing 55 hour long exposure showing 200.000 new galaxies. And even more crazy, this is only 0.004% of the sky. The best thing is that you can actually download the 17000x11000px 187megapixel image as a huuuuge .jpg! Anyway, more to read from the guys at PetaPixel

“This photo is what you get when you point a massive 4.1 meter telescope (VISTA in Chile) at an unremarkable patch of night sky and capture six thousand separate exposures that provide an effective “shutter speed” of 55 hours. It’s an image that contains more than 200,000 individual galaxies, each containing countless stars and planets (to put the image into perspective, the famous Hubble Ultra-Deep Field contains “only” around 10,000 galaxies). And get this: this view only shows a tiny 0.004% of the entire sky!

The original image measures 17,000×11,000px (~187 megapixels) and can be downloaded as a massive 250MB file.

The Jumping Robot.

This little thing looks amazing.
From youtube: Sand Flea is an 11-lb robot with one trick up its sleeve: Normally it drives like an RC car, but when it needs to it can jump 30 feet into the air. An onboard stabilization system keeps it oriented during flight to improve the view from the video uplink and to control landings. Current development of Sand Flea is funded by the The US Army’s Rapid Equipping Force. For more information visit www.BostonDynamics.com.
