Lost Lake in Oregon’s Mount Hood National Forest is something of a local conundrum. Filled by mountain streams during Winter, the lake drains down a lava tube, emptying like a bathtub every Spring.

The water is thought to simply disappear into the porous volcanic substrate.

Any attempt to plug the hole would likely result in local flooding, cutting off the nearby intersection of two major highways.

An animated preview of the Valravn Birdseye rollercoaster, designed and built by Swiss engineers Bolliger & Mabillard. The massive ‘dive coaster’ opens next summer at which point Cedar Point theme park in Ohio will break ten world records at once. To wit:

Tallest dive (223 feet); fastest dive (75 mph); longest dive (3,415 feet); most inversions on a dive coaster (three); longest drop (214 feet); highest inversion on a dive coaster (165 feet); most roller coasters taller than 200 feet at one amusement park (5); most rides at one amusement park (72); most steel roller coaster track at one amusement park (52,125 feet/9.9 miles) and longest total roller coaster track at one amusement park (60,110 feet/11.4 miles).

Last week I decided to try turn one of the weird little ideas that pop into my head into a short animated sketch. The result is this – “My Dog Nathan”.I wrote, animated, voiced and scored it and I’m really happy with how this turned out and hopefully it’ll be the first of many little videos if people are interested in seeing more.
