Half the joy of posting videos is selecting just the right screenshot that showcases the moment of the artist's greatest gift. At that moment they seem unaware and unconcerned of any critics. At that moment they seem convinced they've connected with their audience and have delivered the gift.
At that moment we are all happy.
For the gearheads:
Automatic Lego Transmission using a Fly-Wheel [[Ugly Prototype 3)I think by "flywheel" he means the Watt's governor component circled in red. There are videos of other versions but I thought this the most interesting. When his hand enters the frame, I think he's trying to show how resilient the system is to perturbation rather than trying to correct any problem.A three speed linear gearbox with a flywheel governed gear shifter.
Additional comments appreciated.
The less expensive the components become, the more people can afford their own missions. The more launches they make, the greater the chance of successes. The Internet disseminates those successes, encouraging others.A father-son team from Park Slope decided NASA wasn't doing enough to document the stratosphere, and decided to take matters into their own hands. After testing their "19-inch helium filled weather balloon" in Brooklyn, Luke Geissbuhler and his son Max headed upstate and launched the device, complete with a camera, into space.
The two were able to track the device with GPS, and Columbia University Professor of Astronomy Marcel Aguera said the two were "very good but also very lucky."
Pretty cool what they did huh??
With endless incremental improvements, where does it end? Does it end?
I'm devastated with the news that Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble have a habit lol

I recall something like this being done in the 60s but that one wasn't offered commercially.This video marks the release of the much-improved SBU V2.0. Driven by a 1000 Watt internal hub motor and state-of-the-art LiFePO4 batteries the SBU V2.0 is hours of fun and entertainment.

There appears to be some censorship activity surrounding this playlist so see it while you can. It's rapidfire so man the pause button.
This is a sequel to Truman Capote's A Christmas memory. It fleshes out Sook's salt-of-the-earth wisdom and innocent reverence for her precious cameo. She demonstrates turning the other cheek in a way rarely seen today. She lies to afford the guilty the opportunity to confess. The initial poor video quality improves a bit with time. Total duration 45 minutes.Truman Capote's "The Thanksgiving Visitor" was originally published in the November 1967 issue of McCall's, then in book form, then produced for television -- all within the same month. [[How'd he manage that?)
Written 11 years after "A Christmas Memory," Capote returns to the Monroeville of his childhood. Like "A Christmas Memory," we see Buddy's deeply intimate relationship with his dear Sook. Unlike "A Christmas Memory," we see the dark torment of Capote's youth.
Starring Geraldine Page as Sook [[she won an Emmy for her performance) and Michael Kearney as Buddy. Adapted for television by Capote [[who also narrates) and Eleanor Perry. Directed by Frank Perry.

Thank you, Jimaz.

The classic:
The Tea Partiers need to reclaim their deserved dignity back from the Koch klan.One of the classic US drama films of all times, based on the most beloved and widely read Pulitzer Prize winner novel.
The place: a small town in the south of the United States. The time: the early 20th century. A black man is accused of raping a woman, and an idealistic lawyer gets to defend him. We start watching the reasons that make his defense far from easy; and that's mostly because nobody in this town seems determined to believe in the guiltlessness of an accused negro.
Atticus Finch, a lawyer in the Depression-era South, defends a black man against an undeserved rape charge, and his kids against prejudice.
Total duration: 1:10:50
Not really a "fun" video but well done and curiously morose, a bit like an Ingmar Bergman film.

Needless to say, this is not a wise thing to do while driving either.
There's a guy that does this up and down our street in warmer weather. The dog loves it.
This could be a metaphor for human motivation. We like to do what we do best. We do best what we like to do.
If only we could be allowed to do it!
