Mikey's Lynx

[Mike]

First off, I did not get a lynx as a pet or anything. I just figured that I would try and do something I have been wanting to do for a while (Plus, hopefully it'll help the boards a bit). I'm going to be posting links(lynx)- whether it be videos, stories, pictures, products, whatever. My goal is to do it every week, possibly even a few times a week. Let me know if you think I should make a new thread everytime, or just keep it going (I'm thinking one big thread). Be aware: these lynx may be from the past, present or future. Also, feel free to make requests.

First post(August 25th):
Chevreau might like this cause its using a GoPRo camera. This is a first person view of a freestyle mountain bike run. Pretty neat: sports.todaysbigthing.com/2010/08/25

Additionally, this is an entertaining music video which features a flamethrower vs. a fire extinguisher in slow-mo. Also neat: vimeo.com/13639493


Bonus: two badass baseball spectator catches: sports.todaysbigthing.com/2010/08/23

First: Three dimensional pictures. Im not sure if they truly 'three d' but they look cool nonetheless. interestingplanet.com/three-dimensional-images

Second: Apparently you can play snake on youtube: 9gag.com/gag/32871/

Third: Daniel Tosh attempts the impossible, and fails hilariously:


Fourth(since the second wasnt much of a link): A funny walmart video you may have already seen:

Cheers, Mikey

Yeah first person is crazy.
In keeping with that theme here is a first person video of paraskiing. It is truly nuts. sports.todaysbigthing.com/2010/09/24

On a winter/mountain related note, here's a sweet ski movie trailer : devour.com/video/revolver-trailer/

And another:

Lastly, here is a link to an event I'm trying to start in Waterloo: www.carrotmob.org
I'm posting it because I think it is a very interesting and smart idea.
Enjoy everyone

Hey everyone! It's been a while (again). This is harder than I thought.

Here is a link to a cool little youtube channel: www.youtube.com/user/tippexperience

Next, a pretty sweet bmx video:


Also, an interesting article about a reusable spray bottle: www.good.is/post/innovative-reusable-replenish-spray-bottle-could-disrupt-home-cleaning-market

Furthering that thought, heres an interesting philosophical question to think about: www.futilitycloset.com/2010/09/01/the-knobe-effect/

Next, here's a music video that looks really fun:


Lastly, here is a picture that I find funny: img707.imageshack.us/img707/8595/1287965290909.jpg

Enjoy!

Hi everyone,
I'm basically done exams, so I finally have time to post some lynx! Yay! I'm in a good mood so I'll post a lot of lynx.

First Link: Here is a great site that I just found that updates (I think) once a week with some great songs. Seriously, check it out if you want to find some new stuff:
wearehunted.com/a/#/:

Second Link: Here is a link to go along with that site. If you stumble upon a song you like, then find it on youtube, and you can download it and put it on your computer with this site. I've found it very useful in converting youtube videos:
www.zamzar.com

Third Link: Here are some hyperrealism paintings... mind blowing.:
www.good.is/post/hyperrealism-hd-paintings-leave-you-questioning-what-s-real/

Fourth Link: Heres some holiday spirit from the office:


Fifth Link: Magic!


Sixth Link: Contact juggling will also blow your mind. Seriously cool stuff:


Last Link: Benny the chicago bull mascot at the mall. This would be fun to do:


Enjoy!
