Kutiman

So many people do mashups nowadays (take a bunch of applications or videos and make them into something new that it wasn't necessarily meant for). This Israeli guy named Kutiman has spent 3 months mixing unrelated music videos to make some very cool beats and is getting a lot of attention. Check out his site - Thru You where you can watch all the videos in a nice simple layout (here). TechCrunch ran an article today describing how artists like Kutiman are changing the landscape of music - 'Kutiman Killed the Video Star' is the name of the post. Check out one of his videos below.

World Builder

If anyone has every used a 3D architect program, like Google Sketchup, or AutoCAD you might find this pretty neat (even if you haven't used those programs you'll still likely find this video to be very interesting). A man builds a 3D virtual world for his wife. There's a little bit of a 'suprise' at the end in how she actually gets in there but i won't ruin the whole thing for you...

Hot skateboarding action = The Berrics

So Steve Berra and Eric Koston were tired of being kicked out of spots in L.A and whatnot, and having the large sums of money that they have, they bought a warehouse and created their own skatepark - The Berrics. It's gone through a number of revisions, and you can see a lot of the transformation in a series that DVS shoes has on the park (quicktime required):

• Inside the Berrics pt1
• Inside the Berrics pt2
• Inside the Berrics pt3
• Inside the Berrics pt4

The big thing that they've been doing for the past 4 months is an epic game of S.K.A.T.E. (aka Battle at the Berrics) with people who frequent the park (SKATE is like HORSE in basketball - someone does a trick, other person has to match that trick). You might want to check out the early rounds but the finals have just finished up and here are the links to the videos (10k top prize!):

• Championship round - Mike Mo vs. Benny Fairfax
• Third/Fourth place battle
  

There a bunch of other fun stuff to watch as well - like Wednesdays with Reda (lots of inproper language so NSFW) and the Trickipedia (like wikipedia but for skateboarding tricks)

Hudson River Plane Landing (US Airways 1549) Animation

I think everyone realizes how amazing it was that no one was killed/seriously injured when this plane ended up in the hudson... Here's a computer simulation with the actual audio from the event.
