Sneezing is more than just a nuisance, it's a danger to the health of innocent bystanders. The amazing Richard Massingham, hypochondriac and master of PSA filmmaking, demonstrates how to sneeze properly, therefore preventing the spread of toxic germs.

Meet Matt Weathers, Biola University math professor and probable blood relative of Mary Poppins. Because, really, who but a Poppins could pull off a prank of this sort? Think Who Framed Roger Rabbit for the PowerPoint set. Or, better yet, see for yourself in the video gallery below:
Terry Guinn is a genius knife smith, and my personal favorite custom designer. Why? Instead of taking the route of other designers and just doodling on the handles or adding metal to the blade, he actually mixes up the formula. (See Bali-axe)

Finally, just in time for Halloween, a HowTo that gets you closer to the God of disgustingly amazing, edible body parts, Thai artist-baker Kittiwat Unarrom. Unfortunately, Claire at Poopscape's dough organs aren't edible like Kittiwat's, but they do make a wonderfully dark centerpiece for your Halloween festivities this year.
Incredibly artfully done, KlairedelysArt's SFX Terminator makeup look creates the illusion of peeled back skin to reveal the Terminator beneath. Amazing Halloween look for a chick.
We've really gone Gaga for the Queen of Pop this Halloween, and this look may be my personal favorite (perhaps with the exception of the DIY Meat Dress). This Halloween, learn to recreate Lady Gaga's amazing anime eyes, as instructed by beauty guru, Promise. Previously, Friday Fresh: Go Gaga for Halloween! Top 10 Lady Gaga Looks.

Despite being amazing cameras, the Canon 7D and 5D Mark II can only shoot HD video at 60 fps. However, with an After Effects plug-in called Twixtor, you can slow it all the way down to 1000 fps, as demonstrated with these BMXers: Previously, HowTo: Build Your Own DIY SuperMacro Lens.

For a small business, here's a novel advertising idea: cover your building with 120 mounted bicyces, in lieu of a boring old "Bicycle Shop" sign. Amazing picture, taken in Altlandsberg, Germany. Zoom in here.
At the Quakecon 2010 Keynote, John Carmark game a demonstration of their upcoming game Rage running on an iPhone 4 at a smooth 60 frames per second. The textures, lighting, and other features were left intact and looked amazing. Hmm.. if it can run on an iPhone, then does that mean the game could also run on a Wii?For comparisons, there how the game runs on the PC/360/PS3 from an E3 2010 demonstration:
Nevermind that rock candy is delicious, the prospect of growing it like a scientist (much like the amazing magic garden) surpasses all culinary delight.

François Vautier built an art farm into his scanner and then proceeded to scan the farm each week for a duration of five years. Amazing time-lapsed result below. Inspired project... though perhaps not quite as inspired as the massive ant city filled with cement and then evacuated (video #2 in the gallery below). Insane. Don't miss it.

It's amazing what you can do with an ordinary material like cardboard... or a truckload of discarded pizza boxes.
Henning Sandström over on Vimeo shot this amazing aerial footage with his handy Canon 5D camera. Not sure if he used a blimp or RC helicopter to shoot.
Interesting clip about a Canon concept camera. This camera is amazing and seems plausible in the next few years. Looks like photography as we know it might be replaced entirely, in the not too distant future. What do you think?
Here is a cool video for Trent Reznor's (NIN) side project How to Destroy Angels. It was directed by Rupert Sanders. It looks like it may have been filmed with a Canon DSLR, but it could be a Red camera, as well. If someone knows for sure, send a link with the info.
Instead of taking the standard approach of writing a show review about how amazing or horrible a band played, I thought I'd turn around and review the crowd for each show that I go to. I'm interested in the types of people and demographics each artist/band attracts. In the end, crowd response is pretty clutch.
I made this cake a few weeks ago and it was insanely delicious! yum yum layers.
Quasi-hack, all-and-out prank, it's amazing what you can do with an airbag... Previously, What Every Man Wants in Bed.
