The Passing Zone

These guys know how to make juggling enjoyable for a non-juggling audience. Not only are they funny, they know how to explain the tricks they are doing unobtrusively. They also do a pretty good job making the old jokes seem less stale. One of my favorite non-technical juggling videos.

Here is a pet gadget that is worth buying

I just can’t see buying most gadgets that are designed with pets in mind. They all seem like such a waste of money.

But I have to admit that I can see the appeal of buying a Cat Cam.

For those who have not heard about it, A Cat Cam is a digital camera that is strapped to the collar of a cat. It on a time controller and it takes pictures from the cat’s perspective as often as you want (from one second to every eight hours). Thus, you can get a pretty good idea of what your cat has been up to if you so desire.

This is one of the trips that a cat named Mr. Lee took. Unfortunately, the author heavily edited the selection of photos so you don’t get quite as detailed view of Mr. Lee’s trip as I would like. But it is still cool.

The Cat Cam is not really ready for the market yet, but I can see it becoming a big thing. Who has not wondered what the cats are getting up to when they are out and about?

Chinese Dish Kickups

I had heard about this girl before, but I had always assumed the tale was exaggerated. After all, you would have to have such an improbable amount of control over a unicycle, rolling globe, and kickups. But then the other night I found this video. It’s one of those videos I can hardly believe even as I’m watching it. Rather than explain the tricks in detail, I’ll just let you watch it.

Makes me wonder how much truth there is in the other “big fish” stories that circus performers tell.

Hidden Underground Facility

I thought this article about a hidden underground facility was so cool! Granted, if I had an underground facility I wouldn’t waste it by growing marijuana in it, but I still have to admire the dedication and skill it must have taken to build it. It even has escape routes!
