Amazing Tsunami/Earthquake survivor



Today's amazing video is of a miraculous survivor of the recent earthquakes and tsunami in japan.  Investigating the rubble of a house washed out to sea, rescuers find the family pet.  It had been at least 3 weeks since the house was flattened by flood waters and floated out to sea.  Rescuers are hoping the dog can help them locate its owners.

Machine Civilization



Today we have a music video for the song Machine Civilization by Genki Sudo.  The awesome part that caught my eye is the synchronized robotic choreography.  Very mechanical and very mesmerizing to watch.  Tell me what you think in the comments and have an amazing day!

Medical Trick Shots


Here we have a general practitioner doing tricks with various medical equipment.  All the tricks are fairly impressive, especially the last one.  Fake?  I'm leaning towards no since I can't see how they would have been faked.  I'm gullible though.  Let me know in the comments if you think the tricks were faked and how you think they were done.

Forest xylophone


Here's an amazing video of a group of people who built a long wood xylophone in the middle of a Japanese forest.  It must have taken a lot of planning and management to get all of the notes in the right places.

Jackie Chan knows how to handle the egg (video link fixed)


In this video Jackie Chan somehow breaks multiple stone blocks while holding an egg in the same hand he uses to break those blocks.  And he doesn't break the egg!!  How the heck does he do that?

Humble Frozenbyte Bundle


Click for video
This video may not be awesome in and of itself, but the concept is.  For the next few days you can visit


And pay whatever you want for 5 DRM free games.  Four of the games are linux and mac os x compatible as well as windows compatible.  The games included are:

Trine
Shadowgrounds
Shadowgrounds: Survivor
Splot
Jack Claw

The awesome part about this, though, is that you get to choose how much of the money you choose to pay goes to charity (EFF and/or Childs Play) and how much goes to the developers.  Buy some games, help some charities, save the world!  Er, well, 2 out of 3 aint bad.

Japan's earthquake early warning system


I'm sure everyone and their brother already knows about the earthquake and tsunamis that occurred in Japan recently.  This video demonstrates the early warnings and continued coverage they received before and during the earthquakes.  It's amazing how they even had a single minute of time to prepare.  I don't believe we get any advanced warning in the US before an earthquake.
