How It Should Have Ended: Inception [Clip] September 2, 2010 at 4:04 pm

So I’m sitting in my English Composition class, bored out of my mind, and I decided to “use” my netbook to write my “notes.” Don’t get me wrong, my professor is wonderful, but sitting in class for something I’ve heard before is so dull… Anyways, I found this awesome video from one of YouTube’s channels called HISHEdotcom. As you can see, they took the movie, Inception, and ended the movie the way they thought it SHOULD HAVE ENDED. Watch and learn, my nerdy friends.

You Nomskull!!! at 4:50 am

Now, I’m not a fan of anything gory or anything leaking out blood like there’s no tomorrow, but I would DEFINITELY try out this creepy looking dessert. From Fred & Friends, comes this awesome cupcake mold that allows the cupcakes to take shape of a brain (very cool when Halloween comes around or if your kid wants to become a neurosurgeon).

The cupcake mold itself, called Nomskulls, is a uniquely designed cupcake mold that allows the cupcake to shape into a brain when cooking (Now why haven’t I thought of this before). What is even more amazing is the face that the cupcake mold itself if in the shape of a skull on the outside. The entire mold is made of silicone so it will be easy to pull out the cupcake with ease.

I think this is a great idea when it comes to Halloween parties, though I don’t see any other reason to use these inventive molds. But I bet that you can make it more “realistic looking” by adding red food coloring to the cupcakes to make it look like they’re bleeding. Dx Scary! I would definitely buy this product!

Speaking of brains, Fred & Friends have also designed ice cube trays into the shape of brains. They have ironically called this product: Brain Freeze. Very awesome and totally crazy! Check it out!

Youtube Increases Video Time 10 to 15 mins July 29, 2010 at 4:46 pm

youtube_logoYouTube announced that they will be increasing the video uploads from 10 to 15 mins. This is great for people who have a hard time crunching 10 mins of video in one session.

Then again.. the average view time on YouTube is around 3-5 mins. So unless your video is not a review, anime episode or some kid ranting for 15 mins of how stupid they are then I think you don’t need the extra time. But kudos to Youtube for allowing more time.

Brother and Sister [Clip] July 27, 2010 at 9:38 pm

Amazing how people tend to regret things in life; especially family. I bet every single one of you hate your siblings the most, right? Even so, family is always what you’ll have close to your heart even if they do throw spitballs at your face. This little clip shows a brother and sister growing up together, via Google.

Ah, I had always wondered what it would be like to have a brother….I know it’s not exactly nerdy, but they used GOOGLE!!!! How can that not be awesome? It’s so cute right up till the end. :3

Down in Orange County, California, the YoMama Crew continues to dance with passion (Boo to you if you think they suck, lets see you try breakdancing).  The video that I’ve posted above shows off their skills at a concert they have done earlier this month. They are very creative as a team using popping and isolation as their main moves.

I know what you’re thinking: Why is this nerd-worthy?

I don’t know about you, but I can’t even get my dog to sit still for one treat! D:

Cooliris Version 1.12 at 4:33 am

Finally! Cooliris comes out with a new Version of their multimedia viewer. With their easy-to-use large paneling and pictures, locating a file is simple with a swipe of a mouse.

You can view you’re own pictures, movies, and videos on Cooliris, as well as look up and keep track of videos from Youtube, search pictures from Picasa, Google up pictures, Facebook albums, or videos from your favorite website (all via RSS). They even have simplified searches to make it easier to find your favorite episodes (YES! I get to watch more of House episodes!).

For now, Cooliris works completely well with Firefox (also works well with Google, Safari, and IE depending on your OS and Cooliris’s system requirements), but at least it runs faster that its previous version (isn’t that what really matters?).

I find this program to be quite convenient if you just want to look at multimedia. Now if only they could hook this up to a touch screen…..Hmm…What do you think?

Fan Goes Nuts After Ichiro’s Touch July 10, 2010 at 12:40 am

Not only does Ichiro love Dragon Quest, but he has that magical touch with his fans. Watch this fan as she goes nuts, and becomes star struck after Ichiro almost crashes into her.  The funny part, the girl next to her was probably thinking “I don’t know this crazy girl”.

YouTube Adds 3072p July 9, 2010 at 9:22 pm

4k ResolutionYoutube adds higher resolution display for 4096 x 3072 cameras. But I warn you! It lags like an S.O.B!  You’ll need a fast computer to decode all that video. My setup is pretty decent, and it runs aroudn 15-20fps. But it’s good to know that Youtube is actually allowing higher resolution formats (even though we don’t need it). They need less options, and better quality compression. If you manage to look at the 3072p it’s as close as you can get to a “real” 1080p resolution. Remember.. you are not seeing actual HD on Youtube because it’s compressed.
