Yes, it is possible and you can do it. Actually you don’t have to be a total expert in programming or Maths. Yes yes, you have to know some good stuff, but being a nerd or a genius is not the point. Gabriel Taubin, an Argentinian Mathematician researching in Brown University is in charge of [...]

In my daily struggling trying to learn the German language I use to try new tools and techniques to improve my skills and be more understandable, but of course many times it doesn’t work just because “Deutsch ist eine verkackte Sprache” as my flatmate says. But well, I love the goddamn language and I will [...]

Science and Comedy have been always connected everywhere because for radical and revolutionary ideas, it is needed a bit of humor and consideration. Both are groundbreaking and quite entertaining if you are in the proper mood. However only few have had the balls to mix them, play around with them and success with it. One [...]

A new semester in the Uni has begun and in this second week I am already feeling the first pressured tasks. No probs, this time planning and hard work will be a constant besides a good health caring and exercise. Perhaps less Internet Facebook is what I need. This semester I will struggle a bit with two [...]

All of us know this song, all of us like it, all of us recognize it when we hear it (always played in Oktoberfest), but never in my life I would think to play it as in the following video. The creators Eric Goodchild and Steven Caton built two gigantic tesla coils to generate different sounds with [...]

This is actually one of the April’s Fool creations, however it is still a good idea. As commented by the creators, they shot the entire product in one day supported by friends with the corresponding post-production that made a great impression. Remember, is just a prank, but it remained as a possible solution, that can [...]

It’s April’s fools and all companies are giving some Easter eggs away. Our god Google can not be an exception and, from the many pranks developed by the company, this has been my favorite. I don’t consider myself a true gamer (I prefer to go out than stay in front of a computer or a console) but [...]
Drunken Stick

I think this kind of animation has been spread in Internet since a long time ago, but never is to late to share the wisdom. This animation in particular is made by Hyun and appears to be the parody of Jackie Chan’s “Drunken Master”. These cartoons are really simple but they remind me the times [...]

Anyone in the film business can tell who this guy is. He’s just a living legend and a freaking mastermind of our times. He has already 40 years in the FX industry and his achievements are almost as impressive as his creations. He was first known for the low-budget film “Schlock”, where he was in [...]
