Star Wars Uncut: The entire film recreated by fans in 15-second increments

Posted by Pete Berg on Friday, January 20th, 2012 at 5:19 pm

In 2009, thousands of Internet users were asked to remake “Star Wars: A New Hope” into a fan film, 15 seconds at a time. Contributors were allowed to recreate scenes from Star Wars however they wanted.

Here is the Director’s Cut of the final film, the whole 2 hour feature, edited together to form a surprisingly coherent piece. Amazing. And so, so nerdy.

Bubble-sort demonstrated via Hungarian folk dance

Posted by Pete Berg on Friday, April 8th, 2011 at 12:37 pm

Anyone who knows the basics of computer science will tell you that Bubble Sorting is one of the most efficient ways to order values in an array, whether by highest to lowest, alphabetically or any other means. If you don’t know how it works, these Hungarian dancers will show you with their traditional “Csángó” dance.

I have recently gotten very interested in Bitcoins — a new revolution in digital currency which seeks to eliminate all of the negative aspects of banker-controlled currency. This video, courtesy of We Use Bitcoins gives a great primer. I have recently gotten my very first Bitcoins — I really hope this catches on!

Mario’s own indie film

Posted by Pete Berg on Thursday, March 17th, 2011 at 6:04 pm

A hilarious real-life take on Super Mario Brothers….this reveals what we all suspected, that Mario is really on a mushroom fueled trip which is why all this weird shit keeps going on like talking turtles and magic pipes! It was directed by Joe Nicolosi, an Ithaca College graduate and a few friends of mine were involved, including Steve Quinlan (the guy who plays Koopa) and Justin Talbott, who composed the original music. Funny stuff!
