Fake movie trailer where George Lucas is kidnapped and an imposter actually made the three Star Wars prequels. Oh, if only this were the case…

This video is a really beautiful look at all of the organisms on planet Earth that fall under the “jellyfish” umbrella. Life is a weird, beautiful thing.

How the odd path of the Laryngeal Nerve helps prove evolution

Posted by Pete Berg on Sunday, May 29th, 2011 at 4:11 pm

An interesting anomoly among animals is the path of the laryngeal nerve — a long nerve which connects the brain to the voicebox. While the two organs are only inches apart, and a direct path between the two would make far more sense from a design or engineering perspective, the nerve actually goes down the entire length of the animal’s neck, loops around a blood vessel near the heart, and then runs all the way back up to the larynx (voice box). This odd path can be explained by evolution — as Richard Dawkins demonstrates in this video clip, with a dissection of a giraffe and then a discussion of how this oddity evolved.

The one thing I’m dubious about is how he is wearing the same clothes in every state, and THOSE are the best backgrounds he could find?

One Second Every Day video project by Cesar Kuriyama

Posted by Pete Berg on Friday, May 27th, 2011 at 2:42 pm

A guy I met through Rental Car Rally a few months ago named Cesar Kuriyama is doing an interesting project — he’s taking one second of video of his life every day for one year, documenting his experience and point of view in micro-moments. He has gotten a bit of attention already, because he got into the audition rounds to give a TED Talk on the project. This video here is the trailer that got him selected by the TED Talks committee.

Cesar says he’s planning to launch a website where others join him in recording their own one-second-a-day videos. (Seems like something that would be right up a few Pie Heaven readers’ alley.)

Also…I happen to be in one of the shots in this promo video. I’m the guy dressed as a scientist standing next to the bicycle-riding robot — who is another Pie Heaven contributor, Tim Reese. It’s a quick glimpse of a 2am desert bicycle joust from Rental Car Rally: LA to Tahoe this past February.

Anyway, I wish Cesar luck with the project, and I look forward to seeing the finished 365 second video!

PS: Since we’re on the subject of Rental Car Rally, here’s a video that Cesar put together with footage from the LA to Tahoe rally. There’s another rally coming up at the end of June, LA to Vegas, and I encourage all of you in the SoCal area to sign up. It’s a blast.
