AWESOMECON

It seems that bacon is being formed and then baked (or fried) into more complex and radical food delivery systems.  The next evolution of bacon science appears to be the Baco.  A bacon based tortilla replacement.  I am both horrified and made hungry by this newest step in evolution in food sciences.

… about the website “Three Frames“. Niki called it an:

extremely extremely distilled version of ytmnd

which is a good description. I walked through the archive in a few minutes, subscribed to the RSS on a whim expecting to throw it away after a few days and yet, I get excited when a new one comes in. Odd. Anyway, I love it and had to share.

Kind of beautiful when done right.

I haven’t really been following the internet meme “Prank Wars” by a few of the members over at College Humor, but I recall catching bits and pieces of the pranks.  Here is the most recent one pulled on Amir. After seeing the last one Amir pulled I have no sympathy for him and feel this was well deserved.  Pretty damn impressive setup if you ask me…

The only way this is going to end is with one of the pranks ending in death, I think.

I have no idea what it means, nor do I need to (all though I do want to).  I was literally speechless after watching this amazing video.  Give it a few seconds and I am sure you will feel the same way.

If you have never played Halo 3, the Gravity Hammer is a devastating weapon in the game.  Its also tons of fun to just slam people and see them flying.  From the following video, it appears that the gravity hammer was probably inspired by these young gentlemen in Mexico:

That looks both amazingly scary and awesome at the same time.

bonus video, the gravity hammer in action:

Sorry Zachary’s, but it’s true. Little Star SF is better. I know we’re more irritating with our skinny jeans but it’s the truth.

Sorry to our non-Bay Area readers in advance for the inside jokes.

Okay, its technically three-man act, but a one-man band.  The mutli-part one man YouTube video meme is getting a little stale, but this one is damn impressive.  Rock out baby!

I was reading a tweet by @mdowney which referred to a post on BuzzFeed about the top 10 Michael Jackson acapella videos. This post is not about that… well, not directly anyway. I was watching the video for “Beat It” and during the breakdown/fight scene I had an amazing revelation. Holy SH*T!!! THOSE THUGS ARE HIPSTERS!

So, apparently hipsters are 1983 thugs from the “Beat It” video. Amazing but true. Check out around 2:30 in the video to revel in the pre-hipster-hipster fashion.
