... and, well, I'll just let it speak for itself:

Ok… so, this is awesome: Google tests their web browser against a potato gun.

Yes, you read the headline right. In a new Google Youtube video advertising their web browser, Chrome, they test its speed against a potato gun, the speed of sound, and lightning.

It's completely worth your time to watch, and not just because the concept itself is pretty creative in its own right. They also did an amazing job filming everything, right down to the firing process that takes place when you fire a potato gun. Add in the fact that they slice it on the way out and shoot it into a deep fryer.

Just watch.

Awesome, no?

Many people that read this blog probably aren't up to date on all of the different advances in photography and cinematographycurrently taking place, but one day (and even some now) the technology and equipment to make these kinds of movies and films will be inexpensive enough that anyone with the will and commitment will be able jump in and, with the right creative mind, make some really good stuff.

Oh, the future.

Hilarious SNL skit

If you’re like me, you enjoy some good comedy. Well, I’ve never seen the Lawrence Welk show, so I don’t know how spot on that part of this SNL skit is, but the singing part afterwards had me in tears, and once you watch it, I think you’ll see why.

Give credit where credit is due

Well, I became a Jaguars fan last season. Actually, I became a fan of football last season. I never really spent time watching the games or following it, but, for some reason last year I did. It could have been the great run by the Jags, but, who knows. Anyhow, I was a bit disappointed [...]
