Sweet jimminee… the day started at 7 a.m. for me today and before you
can look, the day’s over. No time for anything. Hurrying home to fetch my
dart gear and fight another tournament today. So there’s noting much
to see here today except a funny video a good colleague mailed me earlier.

What to do with defective washing machines? Dump ’em, right? – WRONG!
You can have some fun with them even if they’re no longer suitable for
washing. Maybe trying to render them absolutely unusable by, say,
washing stones… not the small ones, of course…

Interesting to read these kinds of News as they’re very uncommon. A young
woman in sweden hijacked a public transportation vehicle and drove it off
the tracks leaving a big demolition behind. While the track was secured with
a bumper, the train was so fast that it crashed into a house 25 metres behind.

Christmas time, the most happy time for most of us and the time where
silence embraces us. Thinking about the rare momentes we spend with our
beloved ones. Today I keep my post short as I am still not feeling well and
also have to work. However I take some time to post now.

Time for some new junk (a.k.a. funny videos) for those who survived the
apocalypse. Sorry for being so sarcastic anyways but there were so many
people hyping about world’s end where there was no need at all. And what
happened lately: Right! N-O-T-H-I-N-G!

The winter is finally arriving in Europe, too. While signs two days ago pointed
to a green christmas time, it seems now as if the nature’s white blanket is most
likely to stay. As one of those people who like the four seasons, I am pleased
to see that weather’s like what it should be in December.

Voyager 1 has been launched On September 5th, 1977 into space with the
mission to discover what’s behind the lines of the solar system as we know it
and as it could have been explored with the telescopes that time. 25 years
later Voyager 1 is now reaching the interstellar space.

Even these days, multi-device homepages are a bit of a hassle and so I found
out that most of my video posts are not properly viewable on mobile phones
For instance we have the iPhone which seems to drop out on the video tags
trying to open the player.swf instead. also the iPhone can’t deal with FLV.

It seems as if “Kim Dotcom” is still active and going to show the copyright
holders the big middle finger after the imprisonment that happened in 2012
against him in new Zealand. As for now, he is free again and planning to bring
up a new, improved Megaupload service. What it will be, is yet unknown.

You probably know Mr.Bean’s tag from the movie “Bean” when he was on
hold at the airport for simulating a gun in his pocket. In the auditing room he
simulated that he was going down steps and vanishing from the viewport.
A similar tag has been done now by a farm silo which refused to tip.

It’s not much time now until the new SimCity (SimCity 5?) gets released.

planned release date (February 2013).

The search for the right codec to play back a video file is always a big
hassle. That’s where FFMPEG kicked in and is part of many codec packs.
Also as encoder, the FFMPEG codec library could be universally used.
However the decoder and demuxer have received more changes.

Especially when there was an accident where the powerline was torn down.
And if just THEN a car happens to cross that line… well… the car will THEN
learn an acrobatic act. But for me I am imressed how much power such a
powerline can have to even stop a fully-accelerated car. Watch for yourself.

What happens if our beloved Mario goes berzerk because he’s pissed of
rescuing Princess Peach all over and over again? Well… let’s say, he IS
the new Duke Nukem hero although he’s not armed with a big gun and
shooting his way to the goal.

Nature always has spectacular moments. But when two phenomenons
meet, then it’s good when you’re equipped with a camera. In this case,
a bushfire has started in Australia and caused the air to twirl up forming
a tornado. The fire itself uses the funnel to climb up into the smoke clouds.

When discussing about climatic changes caused by man with a co-worker,
she told me that New York has been struck by a tornado. I just thought,
she was shittin’ me but Google taught me better: On September 8th, 2012
a tornado has struck the NY borough Queens leaving some destruction.

Definitely a bad idea to drive a bulldozer while having too much alcohol.
This bulldozer driver had one, two, too many drinks and still decided to
mount his vehicle and start driving. I am not sure whether he tried to
evade the car that’s heading towards him or if he wanted revenge.

So the NASA has finally placed a robot on the surface of Mars to explore
it’s surface. The question is, what’s so interesting about a planet that is
most likely not containing life (due to it’s atmospheric consistence) and
most likely won’t have any valuable ressources on it?

Earlier this year I have wrote an article about Maxis to release Simcity 5.

E3 Game Convention in Los Angeles and also stated the release date to
roughly February 2013. With this post, some more videos are now online!

What looks funny, could also be dangerous, sure. In this case I had some
serious thinking active when watching this guy lifting a heavy weight up.
Unfortunately he stopped breathing to save energy(?) with the fatal
effect of collapsing. Fortunately he didn’t hurt much. Now you’re warned!

Collapsing buildings always look spectacular. Even more when you see
five 200m tall cooling towers of a coal power plant collapsing within
seconds. What looks like “piece of cake” in the video is the result of a
monthlong planning and engineering to avoid surrounding damage.

Again on the Road in Russia. This time, a rig driver thought, he’d change
driving direction on the go and makes an U-Turn at the most unfitting
position/situation. Not looking what the counter traffic does, can be very
dangerous. This video shows, what happens when two rigs collide.

The iPhone – base for many gadget ideas, enhanced by Apps that utilize
the integrated peripherals such as the flashLED and the vibration motor
in other ways than intended. There’s almost nothing which hasn’t been
tried with the iPhone. But a taser? With the power of 630.000 volts?

Dog poo can be very annoying. In most citis there’s no obey to clean the
dogs’ poo away. So if you’re not watching your step carefully, you’ll find
yourself stepping into dog poo. Smelly and not very comfy feeling! Also
the smell ain’t charming the nose! Time for revenge.

I already mentionned, that I like Timelapse videos. This time, it’s from the
construction site of the Freedom Tower in New York where a camera has
recorded pictures of the construction over 8 years. They are now finally put
together into a 2 minutes long timelapse video. The result is amazing!

Eolas, well known as lawsuit holder against Microsoft with ActiveX has finally got a setback.
A jury in Texas declared the two Web automation technic patents Eolas claimed raights on,
invalid. This means, that IE may still use ActiveX with no fear of patent lawsuits and other
companies, relying on ActiveX can still code their applications based on ActiveX.

Well… the MTV Europe Music Award 2011 has been done and the stars have
been awarded. While Hayden Pannetiere, known from “Heroes” has announced
the winners, a desperate fan of her had the glorious idea to rush the stage bare

I really like tom&Jerry and there’s an episode called “the framed cat”.Long story
shortened: Tom gets framed bx Jerry for destroying goods and got blamed for it.
Getting a boot out of the house he did not know why. In this video three cats are
