I won't be able to do a proper post today, so here's a really quite ridiculous video:

Science Sunday!
Nothing is more fun stoned than watching silly video's online, but I, for one, also love reading articles and videos on the subject of science. I figured that there must be some other people who equally enjoy this. So here's a collection of science articles!
Newly Created Material Resembles Cilia
University of Southern Mississippi scientists recently imitated Mother Nature by developing, for the first time, a new, skinny-molecule-based material that resembles cilia, the tiny, hair-like structures through which organisms derive smell, vision, hearing and fluid flow.
The Laws Underlying The Physics of Everyday Life Are Completely Understood
Not sure why people don’t make a bigger deal out of this fact. Physicists (and scientists more generally) are infamous for making grandiose claims about how close we are to Figuring It All Out, only to be shocked by some sort of revolutionary discoveries soon thereafter. Personally I have no idea how close we are to a comprehensive theory of absolutely everything. But I do know how close we are to having a comprehensive theory of the basic laws underlying the phenomena we encounter in our everyday lives — without benefit of fancy telescopes or particle accelerators or what have you. Namely, we already have it! That seems to be worth celebrating, or at least remarking upon, but you don’t hear it mentioned very much.
Cyborg Professor Looks to Future of Bionic Technology
In 1998, Kevin Warwick became what some people call "the world's first cyborg." To be exact, Warwick, a professor of cybernetics at Reading University, had a radio frequency ID chip implanted in his arm. Years before RFID chips became common, this small implant allowed him to turn on lights by snapping his fingers, or open doors without touching them.

Music Post!
I will just share some youtube links to songs because I don't want to get in trouble for sharing links to actual albums on this blog. However, if you want an album just type: mediafire "artist - album name", or without the apostrophes, and you'll find a clean link in no time.
First up some awesome no wave. Note though that this shit is weird.

Glenn Branca - Light Field (In Consonance) (album: The Ascension)
Suicide - Ghost Rider (album: Suicide)
Here's some sweet instrumental hip hop, but I figured I'd post it again, since I'm in love with his free EP. You can download it here.
Juj - Lemon Juice (EP: heheh.)
That's it for now.

OH SHI-
First of all, I would like to say sorry for my absence. This is due to some unforeseen events. Anyway, here's another post to trip balls over if you're in the right "mood".
An amazing photo series call Winter Berlin, check out more at Behance Network.

Some New Sh!t
Here's a video of some kid who made a song out of nothing but Windows XP and 98 sounds...
Okay now, the funniest thing you'll ever see, or at least, for today. This guy made a series of cartoons for commercials for a number of different companies. They're freaking hilarious:
