(Can’t wait to see a multi-part (sing-along) video made from this (in the same vein as We Love xkcd (which was based on xkcd Loves the Discovery Channel (which is in turn a sweet parody of The World Is Just Awesome))))

Star Wars: Machete Order:

Fantastically nerdy (and convincing) analysis of the best order in which to watch the Star Wars episodes.

I actually prefer the barebones version of this article linked to above, but if that’s too nerdy for you, the originally intended version with images and other “junk” is back online.

“But he will say that telecom companies have robbed him blind, and another bagel-delivery man found that law firms aren’t worth the trouble. He also says he believes that employees further up the corporate ladder cheat more than those down below.”

Pendulum Waves

Fifteen uncoupled simple pendulums of monotonically increasing lengths dance together to produce visual traveling waves, standing waves, beating, and random motion. One might call this kinetic art and the choreography of the dance of the pendulums is stunning! Aliasing and quantum revival can also be shown.

Mike Rowe Senate Testimony:

We’ve elevated the importance of “higher education” to such a lofty perch that all other forms of knowledge are now labeled “alternative.” Millions of parents and kids see apprenticeships and on-the-job-training opportunities as “vocational consolation prizes,” best suited for those not cut out for a four-year degree.

I’m an ardent supporter of better compulsory education, but I’ve always found the relentless push towards “going to college” to be misguided and ultimately a detriment to a well-balanced society.

Not-A-Kludge: That’s Just Unsettling

Who knew you’d find legitimate ‘design’ at the home of epic kludges and jury rigs. This is so cool.

‘Cutebluejay’ reviewing Tangled in the iTunes Store:

Despite being grown adults, my friends and I are always up for a Disney movie that reminds us of being young, so of course we made plans to see “Tangled” on a Friday night. […] I knew it would be cute and fun to watch…but I wasn’t expecting a genuinely well-done film that almost rivals classics like “Aladdin” and “The Little Mermaid”.
