A very impressive motorised LEGO Technic ‘roulette wheel’ made by Berthil Van Beek, who sez of it:
100% LEGO version of a Roulette wheel with full set of 37 numbers (European style). This Great Ball Contraption module is a buffer at the start of a full GBC circuit dispensing two balls per two seconds.
A clever campaign (referencing a 1960s ad for the Beetle) for the upcoming Volkswagen ID Buzz – a concept electric redux of the classic VW (Type 2) Microbus slated for production in 2022.
A mea culpa, of sorts, for that pesky 2015 diesel emissions scandal.
Weaselly? Charming? You be the judge.
An impressive turn by musician Cihan Gulbudak, who replaces Thom Yorke’s vocal on Radiohead’s ‘Paranoid Android’ with deftly gestured oscillations on the theremin.
And if you enjoyed that, you may care for a similar number he does on Massive Attack’s ‘Teardrop’.

A very satisfying 13 minutes (if you have them to spare) wherein a rusty and wrecked old toy piano found in a barn by YouTube fixer-uppers Rescue&Restore is sandblasted, powder-coated and restored to its former glory.
Sligo based filmmaker Paraic McGloughlin’s blistering hyper-edit video for ‘Someday’ by Dutch electronica duo Weval. Count the cuts (no, don’t, you’ll get a headache).
You may recall Paraic’s excellent kaleidoscopic abstract (shot from a road bridge in Sligo) for Max Cooper last year.
Full screen recommended.
Musician Maurice Steeger performs – no, not ‘Mary Had A Little Lamb’ – but rather, Antonio Vivaldi’s challenging ‘Recorder Concerto RV 443‘ during a performance by the Capella Gabetta at the Hochrhein Musikfestival.
It’s all in the knees.
