The production values in Star Wars Revelations are incredible. The story and acting are just slightly better than what you might expect in fan fiction. That means it’s spotty and a bit lifeless through a lot of it, but boy does it look pretty.

Lightweight data exploration in Excel offers a few interesting ideas for visualizing data in Excel. I can’t imagine a situation where I’d use it. As long as it’s already in Excel, I imagine I’d just bust out a real chart, but it’s an interesting idea all the same.

Wow! The editing involved in putting together 787 Cliparts (quicktime) must have taken forever. Really nice work.

Kevin Smith Talking About Writing Superman is about 100 times funnier than Clerks II (except for one tucking scene in Clerks which you’ll know what I mean if you’ve seen the movie).

Super Serif Brothers is a fun game without any of those fancy schmancy graphics. It’s just pure, fun game play.

All this time, I thought that spacecrafts heated up on re-entry because of the friction of the atmosphere. According to the site, Science Facts that People Get Wrong, I’ve been quite wrong.

I hate being wrong.

This Live, Stop Motion Space Invaders Movie is 10 kinds of awesome. It uses people as pixels. My one complaint is that the second round is basically just a repeat of round 1. What’s the point of doubling up just to make the video longer? Other than that, very, very cool!!!

The choreography in this ad for Akbank is totally kick ass.

Look Around You: MATHS is what it must be like if Monty Python is teaching mathematics, and using the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy as a text book.

Even though I know the problems are absurd, my brain keeps wanting to solve them. Stupid brain.

Holy Crap! Watch this video of a fireworks factory exploding to the end, and you’ll see the camera taken out by the explosions not once but twice. Definitely not a place you want to be standing next to.
