Mathemusician Vi Hart’s ‘open letter to Nickelodeon’. She’s been very patient, but enough’s enough.

If you like the Vi, you should check out her recently completed Fibonacci Doodle Trilogy: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3

You will learn interesting things, marvel at her nimble mind and perhaps fall in love just a little bit.

Why Do Parents Dress Their Kids As Darth Vader?

Hi, you were good enough to feature our last animation -- Fear of Flying. Here is another from the same series. Why do men have nipples? Why do parents dress their kids as Darth Vader? Why do men get horny when they have a hangover?… all this and some pigeons. Another short from the series “The Existential Pleading of the Inner Heart” by The Brothers McLeod.

Animation: The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore

1

From Moonbot Studios. Produced by Lampton Enochs and co-directed by Brandon Oldenburg and William Joyce, who also wrote the screenplay. Currently up for an Oscar.

Inspired, in equal measures, by Hurricane Katrina, Buster Keaton, The Wizard of Oz, and a love for books, “Morris Lessmore” is a story of people who devote their lives to books and books who return the favor. Morris Lessmore is a poignant, humorous allegory about the curative powers of story. Using a variety of techniques (miniatures, computer animation, 2D animation) award winning author/ illustrator William Joyce and Co-director Brandon Oldenburg present a new narrative experience that harkens back to silent films and M-G-M Technicolor musicals. “Morris Lessmore” is old fashioned and cutting edge at the same time.

The Boeing 787: Actually Quite Boring

The horribly-carpeted Boeing 787 Dreamliner currently parked in a hanger at Dublin Airport (that’s Today FM reporter Fergal O’Brien third pic down goofing about in the ‘hold’).

The Dreamliner is “the first mid-size airplane capable of flying long-range routes”. And premier class (top pic) allows you to fashion your seat into a weight-lifting bench. We think.

Yesterday I discovered a .gif image with this “DJ Cat” and then I did a little research and found the video, so I just downloaded it and edited so it matches the track. Track used in this video is by Datsik and Excision and is called “Swagga”
