International Space Station Time Lapse
One of my favourite things on Twitter is getting a tweet when the ISS is coming overhead (Follow Twisst here) and will be visible. Clever stuff. As it speeds across the sky, mostly unnoticed from people below - 'it's a bloody plane, you can't see satellites with the naked eye' etc etc I wonder what they can see below. Must be AMAZING - and watching this video, it clearly is.
MP And The Army Take Psychedelic Drugs Shocker. Very British Drug Tests In The 1950's
I have no idea what 'Mescaline' is, and I can't be bothered to copy / paste it into Wikipedia to look it up. It's a bit like LSD from the following video - featured Christopher Mayhew MP in a BBC (Daily Mail would LOVE this) documentary that was never ever shown. Humphry Osmond, the 'dealer' coined the phrase 'Psychedelic', but it would take someone in California with a less British plummy accent to add the 'Man' bit in the 1960's.
Here's this SHOCKING FOOTAGE Daily Mail readers.
You think an MP taking drugs on TV presumingly to make a name for himself / get on the 50's version of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here is shocking? How about the Army? Soldiers! On an exercise! With Guns! TAKING ACID?! "1 hour and 10 minutes after taking the drug, with one man in a tree, feeding the birds.."

The World’s First Stereoscopic Reconstruction Of A Painting.
Jan Matejko, Battle of Grunwald - now in 3D. "67 unique characters, each rendered as three-dimensional models, come together to form a clear spatial composition. Depth and perspective appear "within arm’s reach", inviting the viewer into the canvas to experience it from a new perspective"
"The project posed a challenge to animators, who were required to meticulously interpret and recreate the 1878 original and find solutions to problems such as how to depict figures who were partially obscured by those next to them."

The PeteBox
Stay with this past the Pink Panther theme - this is all recording live and in one take. Very clever stuff, must be a right headache remembering where he's saved all those samples, and getting the timing right.
Reminds me of David Ford's State Of The Union - also using sample loops, recorded in one take (embedding requests denied unfortunately) and Go To Hell which looks even more complicated;
